50 games, 50 hours community service. I wonder if he can play at AA instead, though...

Looking for Jonny Gomes cards, especially Triple Threads and printing plates. Will consider all cards, though. Got something? Contact me at c_u_l_1@yahoo.com

    I gaurantee he is more upset about the community service. I think that community service is a great way of getting through to proffessional althetes and movie stares ect.. throw them in a work crew and have them grind it out with some good old fashioned labor, I meen monetery fines obviously dont hurt when you can burn $$$$

    And the pedestal athletes have been placed on just got a little higher. “Normal people” get fired or worse for throwing large heavy objects at superiors while on the job…

    He's probably feeling sorry for himself, while he should be feeling the shame image

    He should be assigned the most dirty type of community service jobs like cleaning toilets at
    a homeless shelter, stuff like that.

    Hey, I respect your opinions, but IMHO, 50 games is plenty. He's a young kid (20) who did something stupid in the heat of the moment, who has shown contrition, accepted responsibility for his actions, and is going to get help for "anger" issues. What more could you ask for from a 20-year-old kid? Now, if it happens again ...

    Let me ask you this: If this was your teenaged son or daughter who did something stupid in the heat of the moment, would you want the book thrown at them?

    One report said the community service was going to be working with disadvantaged or developmentally disabled children. Personally, I think that's what he needs to do. Cleaning toilets, mowing lawns, picking up trash--there's no human element of emotion involved. He needs to remember that he has some special gift to play baseball--to play a kid's game--for millions of dollars. He needs to realize that he is very fortunate. Not too many people get that opportunity.
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    With obvious anger management issues I'm not sure working around children is a smart idea.

    they should suspend him for the season and have him do 1000 hours of umpiring in little league. They should also encourage the kids to spit on him and throw bats

    He's an adult and should be treated as such.

    Cut him some slack, he's a victim.
