Comments on: B-Squad’s Burrell Borrows Ball and Blows Break http://www.bsquad.org/b-squad-borrows-ball-and-blows-break/ Wed, 12 May 2010 16:29:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Roger LaPoint http://www.bsquad.org/b-squad-borrows-ball-and-blows-break/comment-page-1/#comment-571 Roger LaPoint Sat, 26 May 2007 14:14:28 +0000 http://jimbernard.net/?p=403#comment-571 Just going through the most recent stats, I can clearly see where Doug LaPoint should get moved up in the line-up. He is in the top 3 in hitting (500). I also believe his contract should be extended with a pay increase. 1. He has the best E.R.A. on the team 2. He is fielding 1000. 3. He has kept the last two games very close so there was a chance for a win. And lastly he puts his life on the line each & every pitch. He is only 30 some feet away from those 150 M.P.H. line drives coming off those (mostly illegal) aluminum weapons those 6 ft. plus monters are wielding, taking it in the shorts on ocassion. Please consider these reasons in his next contract. Just going through the most recent stats, I can clearly see where Doug LaPoint should get moved up in the line-up.

The ump in that game kindly returned it for future use, and being the nicest looking ball in the bag, that's the one I grabbed. So really, it was lent from the past, but as it was still usable for a future home game, it was also borrowed from the future. It is in fact a Paradox Ball, which was never manufactured or purchased- it just continues to be loaned from the past into the future and borrowed by the present. Sort of like Social Security.

He did, in fact, lend it to the other team, but did, in fact, borrow it from a future game. No need to hate yourself Daveo, you and the Brggr are both correct. seems to me that what Tommy did was borrow the ball that was intended for use in the next game where Bsqd was home team.

I apologize in advance. (deep sigh) That said, Tom didn't 'borrow' the ball, the other team did. Tom's action is usually called 'lending', at least outside of the Midwest. Yes, I know this would ruin the alliteration, but I can't help it. I'm a pedant and I know it. Do I feel better now? No. I hate myself and what I've become.
