stevestojan Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Because when I own stuff and I want to give it to my kids they get to have it, same for Doug. 197676[/snapback] Wow. You are arguing with someone who doesn't think Doug Mientkiewicz should own the ball. Did you think I was going to be pursuaded when you said but one day Doug Mientkiewicz's KIDS will own it? Jesus. Eventually, it will bring financial gain to the Mientkiewicz family.
BF_in_Indiana Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Spin? No. Why in the world should Doug Mientkiewicz's kids own it? Mind boggling. 197672[/snapback] Steve I take it that you would gladly turn over Barry Bonds 756th home run ball to the Giants then? You wouldn't want to get anything out of it? You are the same guy that advocated ripping off the electronics store because the clerk screwed up and gave you a free game.

HELL NO I WOULDN'T. Why? Because the Giants didn't pay me $3million last year to play on their TEAM.
gmac17 Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Why in the world should Doug Mientkiewicz's kids own it? BECAUSE THEIR FATHER MADE ONE OF BIGGEST OUTS IN BASEBALL HISTORY WITH IT YOU DUMB JACKASS. If it goes to the hall, it will be in a closet in a year and probably won't be seen until 25 years later.

EDIT: If you think about it, you are stealing from the Giants (if you consider them the owners of the ball as you do the Red Sox) because you are taking "their property" from Pac Bell Park which is owned by the Giants. The reason that doesn't hold true though is because it's common knowledge that fans are allowed to keep balls. This is something that's always been a courtesy from MLB and the teams such as it is with players keeping important balls.
EZC-Boston Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Wow. You are arguing with someone who doesn't think Doug Mientkiewicz should own the ball. Did you think I was going to be pursuaded when you said but one day Doug Mientkiewicz's KIDS will own it? Jesus. Eventually, it will bring financial gain to the Mientkiewicz family. 197680[/snapback] My guess, and i'm making an assumption, is that the Sox would charge people to see this ball and gain financially from it, it is just the way this ownership group is.

When you take a side, it makes that side's validity go down by about 50% with your first post. Thanks. (yeah, I didn't respond to that post, because I would answer i the exact same way i did with my last post).

It's ok to steal from someone as long as they "aren't" your employer in your eyes I guess.
Like A Mofo Posted January 7, 2005 Author Posted January 7, 2005 Would I turn over the 756th home run ball to the Giants? HELL NO I WOULDN'T. Why? Because the Giants didn't pay me $3million last year to play on their TEAM. 197684[/snapback] I agree 100 percent. Beacuse for people like you and me, that baseball CAN be a valid claim to be used to send our kids through college. Major League players, stars or not, arent struggling, unless they pi$$ the money away.

Gavin in Va Beach Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Cripple FIGHT! 197705[/snapback] Which one is Timmy and which one is Jimmy?
stevestojan Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Which one is Timmy and which one is Jimmy? 197716[/snapback] I think the one saying he would travel to Cooperstown just for the "stories" would have to be Timmy... . . .
BF_in_Indiana Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 why did you put aren't in quotes? 197710[/snapback] Why it's correct?
Gavin in Va Beach Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 I think the one saying he would travel to Cooperstown just for the "stories" would have to be Timmy... . . . 197718[/snapback] Got it. sh-- = Timmy BF = Jimmy

stevestojan Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Got it. sh-- = Timmy BF = Jimmy 197723[/snapback] Gavin, I have round trip Tickets to France, all expenses paid, for a week so you can go to, along with other places, The Louvre... Oh, wait, screw it. Just have someone tell you the stories of all the priceless paintings there. I'm sure it will be the same experience.
