Way to go Chris... You bowled well and deserved to win..

How bout those "fugly" pants Mike has to wear when he makes his next show!! LOL

As far as the haters go, they won't man up and congratulate him, they just like to criticize when he bowls bad..

I like Chris a lot and he dominates during the week.  I've watched him after a few rabbits and he's just lights out all the time.  It's too bad he gets a bad rap for what he does on tv.

Congrats to Chris. He seemed to get better and better as the show went on. Those pants must have been good incentive.

Chris bowled well today and even converted a pretty tough split. Once he converted that split, I had a feeling he wasn't choking today. Congrats Chris.

What he did was impressive today.  When he made a ball change it was the right decision at the right time, he didn't second guess himself, he caught some breaks, he didn't adjust off a bad shot.

He just flat out bowled amazing today.  I was so happy to see him finally break through this year and get one.

Congrats Chris!!!

Barnes nailed the "choke" coffin and kicked the hell out of it.  
Glad..... Congrats Chris!

Yeah man, Barnes was on fire today. I hope he continues to tear it up hard.

I also want to congratulate him on his win. His performance today was of the highest manner.

  I also want to know something.  I have heard it said that he "NEVER" wins a close match and that all his victories have been blowouts like todays.

  It was also intimated that "EVERY" time a match has been close, he finds a way to lose.

 IF these two statements are true, he has done NOTHING to remove his reputation for "choking in the clutch" as todays match was a total blowout.

 Mr. Barnes IS a very gifted/talented bowler who has won several blowouts, so why DOES he choke on close matches ( that is if my information is correct.)

I'm very happy the haters have to take a back seat for at least a couple weeks. Congrats to Barnes, he dominated all day.

I'm happy for him.  He's been there before and won before.  Unfortunately because he makes the show damn near every week he'll "choke" again as some of you like to call it.  He doesn't choke "EVERY TIME" though eh 4PIN?

I would have put it a little bit nastier, given the people here who ragged on him in the past.

This is his 11th title. Even if he is worse than Earl anthony and Walter Ray, with 5 2nd place finishes for every victory, the man is going to be on TV a lot. He may be the finest technician ever to bowl this game/sport.
