I have two sets, one that a Dodger fan I was with didn't want so it is unopened and available as a prize. I opened up one pack...here is the list of players Aurilia Bocock Bowker Castillo Davis Durham Holm Lewis Molina Ortmeier Roberts Rowand Velez Vizquel Winn Cain Chulk Correia Hennessey Lincecum Lowry Sanchez Taschner Threets Valdez Walker Wilson Zito Bochy Righetti/Wotus Gardiner/Hayes Flannery/Kelly/Landsford The card is in perfect condition...my camera flash is making it look grainy.nondisclosed_email@example.com (croixdestick)Sun, 06 Jul 2008 21:29:02 +0000 Re: Prize Updatehttps://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p472779,from=rss#post472779https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p472779,from=rss#post472779As the clear and present winner of 3rd (2nd loser) place bragging rights, pretend it's a foul ball and nail the Pink Pansy in the head with it.

Offended me greatly and I thought NineBuck and I collaborated on a very good letter asking for prizes. Don't throw it in the gutter. If you still have it, send it back to him with another 'nice' letter telling him where Spit suggests he stick it.nondisclosed_email@example.com (1000HomerunClub)Thu, 29 May 2008 13:20:43 +0000 Re: Prize Updatehttps://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p468480,from=rss#post468480https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p468480,from=rss#post468480quote:Nine Buck wrote: 23 earned runs, 38 hits in 16 innings FUCK YOU MAGOWAN   Have no fear.

I always wanted to maybe try picking the opposing team's hitters... I think it would be a much higher scoring game and would be very interesting to play.

So, for now...please vote on whether you want to: play for prizes - or - just bragging rights, no prizes If the vote is for just bragging rights, then I may ask what to do about the Hennessey ball.

I gave away my first place prize last year--so it's never been about prizes for me-- but I will say this: Fuck you Peter Magowan, you cheap piece of shit. First you pay "Barely Ziro" 126 million bucks, then after over a season of him consistently sukking ---you insult us by claiming two weeks ago that "it's too early to say whether Zito is washed up"-- and then you rub salt in our wound by sending us a fucking Brad Hennessey ball, and tell us not to ask for anything else? FUCK YOU Magowan. You and your Zito signing, and even worse- your three year extension of your minion Sabean have now ruined this franchise for years to come. Note to all regarding the p4 game: I'm getting pretty bored with this game. It feels like work now. Last year, even though the Giants sucked, it was still a lot more fun to root for Barry's HR chase while watching to see which of us had him as a pick during the games. And it's growing increasingly difficult to care about a game within a game, that involves such a "shittily" run team. I'm hanging in here for now, but I am also making no promises that I will play all year long. I know I am not alone in this sentiment as I've heard noises from some of the other old school players here that feel the same way. Doesn't have anything to do with prizes, either. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Nine Buck)Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:47:52 +0000 https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p467092,from=rss#post467092https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p467092,from=rss#post467092he's so cheap PMG...he could spare some of the stuff they have in the grab bags..god they must have a million of those cook books...nondisclosed_email@example.com (Monkey51)Sun, 27 Apr 2008 23:22:58 +0000 Re: Prize Updatehttps://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p466849,from=rss#post466849https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p466849,from=rss#post466849I'm all for just playing for bragging rights.

Well, in the mail today, they sent me an autographed ball by a young Giants pitcher.....Brad Hennessey. Along with that came a letter that said essentially "glad to help you out in your efforts but only make one request per year." Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed. So, as of now, that's the first place award but I would like to appeal to the rest of you to help out by sending a letter making a request for a donation to: Community Relations AT&T Park 24 Willie Mays Plaza San Francisco, CA 94107 In the meantime, when I can, I'll pick up some grab bag items when I get to a Friday night game and maybe get lucky enough to get a bobblehead or another autographed ball. Also, I have some other prizes that I will be happy to donate to the cause...I'll inventory them and list them on this thread. If anyone would like to donate to the prize list, please let me know. Heck, if all you want to do is play for bragging rights, we can do that as well. Comments are appreciated!nondisclosed_email@example.com (croixdestick)Sat, 26 Apr 2008 19:30:50 +0000
