So?  He could of won a lot more than that over the years if he didn't have a knack for shooting himself in the foot.

Besides, this is old news.  Sheesh...

What's so old about it?  It just happened today.  Also, Chris Barnes would be the first to admit that he has had some problems with the mental aspect of the game, but is hopefully past that.  I think he's a great bowler.

It was a great win for Barnes. I will be the first to say it was the "shoe was on a different foot" during the match. For a change I thought TJ, kind of lost the mental focus starting at the end of the first match and then at the beginning of the Barnes match. After the commercial break he was back to form. He is usually nails and for him to show less mental focus really gave a good edge to Barnes who was lined up well and executing.

Greg,
I am one who has knocked Barnes because he has "tensed up" at inopportune times in the past. He has always possessed the game to be a great but the mental mistakes have always kinda kept him one level below. I hope he does shed this and i believe he will.
