The Angels are disappointed to be down two games to none, deflated even after a game they led before A-Rod's clutch home run in the 11th, but not devastated or depressed.And not defeated -- not yet."Hey, lot of baseball left, that's all I can say," Hunter said. "Lot of baseball left, and we're going to play a little better. I got this feeling, man, that we're going to have better games, and it's going to be a lot of fun."We go home, it's going to be a different scene -- definitely." Bobby Abreu also chimed in: &q...

Hunter Doubles

A.J. Burnett is pitching well in the first, but Torii Hunter fights off strike three to dump a double down the rightfield line with two out. Guerrero, however, grounds out to Jeter to end the inning.

More heroics from A Rod.

Via Sports Blog Net  |  October 17, 2009
Some purists may argue tonight’s 13 inning game between the Yankees and Angels was a sloppy, poorly played mess. With so many runners left on base, and more than a few errors, one of which led to the game winning run, it’s easy to make that case. But is sure was fun to watch. Two things: Why did A-Rod throw his gum at the Angels dugout as he rounded the bases after his 11th...

ANAHEIM, Calif. | At the end of 11 dramatic innings, nearly four and a half hours of playoff baseball tension and - at last - a victory over the New York Yankees, the Los Angeles Angels weren't so much in the mood to celebrate as they were to take a nap.
