I'm okay with Dave this week, so I think we should start a weekly "let's complain about a_ak57" post.

When I saw where Barnes was playing, it was clear that he had something different in mind from the rest of the guys.  Took a couple of shots to work it out (lucky Jersey strike in the 1st frame was a big bonus), and then he was off to the races.

I couldn't believe my eyes when he balked in, what frame was that, the 6th? I thought that was going to be the kiss of death!

Congrats Chris, you came through in the clutch.

And you were the only one to say Dick Weber's name on your way out to the lanes in the intro; classy move!

What is the penalty for a balk?

Consistently Inconsistent.


It's a shot clock violation, which I believe is $500.  So Chris only won $99,500 today.

Great match. Now you see how important getting the wood on splits is. Anyway great bowling on the toughest pattern. CB is on his way. PA I was rooting for ya. Still think he will win Player of the Year with one more win.

I was very happy CB won, especially how PA acted after beating Mika, even tho Mika wanted to shake his hand on the win. Also glad Walter lost after his "I can't believe that didn't strike" antics. Congrats to Chris and hopefully we see some more of him. And we will never forget about the great Dick Weber. RIP Dick.

He really can throw that ball.  Now that he's won will Columbia finally let him throw on TV what he was winning with during the week instead of that POS Big Bully?

I really liked his release none of that dropping or setting short.  Firm and level to the lane with lots of speed and revs!

Walter Ray really did throw the best!!!  Also using something different than what he qualified with!  What was that ball he had?  Rule GP?

REgards,
