Title: A Show for the Ages
Post by: hotwire13 on February 19, 2005, 11:25:33 AM: Barnes, PA, WRW and Mika...probably the top 4 bowlers in the game right now...competing for the most demanding title in the game tomorrow...after watching these guys all week, i dont see how anyone cant be ecstatic about the potential for tomorrow. comments and predictions?

If WRW wins, people will still say Earl was better, if he loses they'll bash him, if Barnes loses his match there will be no end to it, if PA wins people will say it's because he was the only lefty, and if Mika wins, well, uh, probably people will just say they "dont like his style/attitude" or something.

Just expect complaining to happen no matter what happens. I just wish PDW was there......

Post by: 2hands836 on February 19, 2005, 09:11:49 PM: I think that Chris Barnes will be taking home his first major tommorow, because all he has to do is win one game, and i dont see that being a problem.

GO CHRIS!!!!!!

Post by: 230-n-up-or-bust on February 19, 2005, 10:08:43 PM: Patrick Allen seems to be a guy that really gets in a rhythm and throws a LOT of quality shot in succession. That's a key on this flat oiling pattern. PA for his third title and a Kung Fu death grip on the POTY honor.

Post by: michelle on February 20, 2005, 07:39:15 AM: Considering that this is the only tourney that adheres to the pure format of years ago, I wish they would have kept a top-5 stairstep...I'm sure nobody here would have objected to the loss of "6 questions" and the "skills challenge" in order to show the extra match.

Sure, nobody here on this site would have minded but a lot of people would have. The spare shot thing is the most watched part of the show. The bowlers in my league talk about that, not the matches. I've asked them even if they watch the real matches, and it's usually a very very shaky "uh, yeah....".

Post by: DonSVO on February 20, 2005, 09:20:28 AM: i hope that barnes doesn't win. no offense to the guy, but i feel that he needs to win two in a title match series, for his own personal mental game. him and WRW have a hex... WRW wants the 41st, barnes well... he just wants another win!

Mika is an insanely accurate bowler, who i heard was just beating up a single board target all week. its no surprise he is in it. Allen is a lefty... i usually gotta go with a lefty... but i have always been a Big Fin Fan!

Post by: DON DRAPER on February 20, 2005, 05:16:50 PM: at least we won't have to hear how unfair it is for the pba using brunswick oil this week---the top two guys were with columbia and hammer.
