In Argentina we use the expression "te tengo de hijo" with the same meaning than "I owe you".

I assume you are using own here in the sports lingo context, as in "That pitcher owns the Giants," meaning that the pitcher is consistently dominating against that team. Is that assumption correct? Context will completely change the Spanish, so we need it.

Ha ha, I assumed he was on Facebook, where "owning" people seems to be a popular pastime for some. Who knows'?

So this is a way of talking trash (fanfarronear). My Spanish doesn't extend very far into the sports world, so I'll let someone else help you, but I'll give some examples in English to help them.

(In basketball)
-Oh yeah, I made another shot!
-Man, you are lucky today.
-Oh, there's no luck about it. I can make that shot on you every time, 'cause I own you!

(In bowling)
-Dude, that's your fifth straight strike!
-Yeah, you just got owned.

The basic meaning is "I am completely dominant over you in this activity." It reeks of testosterone, so the Spanish should, too.

Nice one, Guillermo! Only a native speaker could come up with things like this.

By the way, it should be "with the same meaning as 'I own you.'"

I remember that someone ( an youngish, American guy) at work did me a favor and he pointed his finger at me and said, " I own you now "

*Gus,

I just looked this up and the translation was (yo propio tu). I'm not a professional translator but that is what it states.*

Chelle, you didn't look this up, you fed it into a machine translator, which spit out this garbage. It is utterly meaningless, and therefore worthless. I'm only telling you this so you won't trust machine translations in the future.
