Torii Hunter gives great answers in interview

Found July 11, 2013 on It's Always Sunny in Detroit:
PLAYERS: Torii Hunter,  Luke Putkonen,  Alexei Ramirez,  Chris Sale,  Prince Fielder,  Miguel Cabrera
TEAMS: Detroit Tigers,  Chicago White Sox

YouTube The Tigers and White Sox got into a little dance party Thursday afternoon Tigers reliever Luke Putkonen threw a pitch behind White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez.  Putkonen’s pitch was in retaliation to the Tigers believing that White Sox starter Chris Sale threw up and in to Prince Fielder following a Miguel Cabrera home run earlier in the game. All you need to about the dance party is in this video: And while that was fine and dandy, this interview that Torii Hunter gave after the game was top notch. Reporters took turns asking Hunter questions about his take on Sale, Putkonen and the like. His responses: seal sounds. Three of them. Following by a “hot tamale.” Huh?! Pure gold.

Most professional athletes hate doing post game interviews, it’s just the way it is. But every so often you find an athlete that likes to have fun with the reporters, and Torii Hunter, the Detroit Tigers outfielder, is one of those athletes.

Benches Clear in Tigers-White Sox Game After Luke Putkonen Throws Pitch Behind Alexei Ramirez (Video)

It’s entirely possible that Luke Putkonen just lost grip of his pitch, leading it to sail behind Alexei Ramirez at the plate, but probably not. Whatever the motive may be, though, Ramirez was none too pleased with the pitch delivered during the sixth inning of the Tigers-White Sox game at Comerica Park on Thursday afternoon. The White Sox shortstop made a few steps toward Putkonen...

51-41, 1st place, 2.5 games ahead of Cleveland. Very good win last night. Only a couple things marred the enjoyment: 1. Will someone please explain why Miggy didn’t catch the foul ball that dropped 10 feet away from him, and am I making too big a deal out of it? 2. What Ortiz did to the Tigers in relief of Grimm would have been less amusing without a 7-2 lead. Torii Hunter, aptly...

Once again, the Detroit Tigers tried to retaliate after a fastball up and in one of their stars. And once again, they were punished for their decision.

The optimist’s view would be that this is one of those rise to the occasion opportunities. Ah, the bullpen. When will...

DETROIT-- Tigers manager Jim Leyland and reliever Luke Putkonen were ejected in the sixth inning of Thursday's game after both benches and bullpens emptied onto the field.
