slop, what are you, like 5? wheres all this "LOL!!!!!!!!!!!" and "BAWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" coming from? grow up, if you're gonna hate on someone, at least do it in a fashion superior to what the average kinder gardener could do.
he might not have the greatest head game out there on tv, but week after week he is in the top 5 putting himself in a position to win. what's better? taking 5 years to get your FIRST title on your FIRST trip to the show; or becoming the all time money leader in ratio to time spent in the pba. that's right, i bet he's crying all the way to the bank about it.
the fact remains that NO ONE matches up with SO MANY patterns the way he does. sure he's not really the absolutely best at any of them, but he's at the very least in the top 5 at virtually EVERY SINGLE ONE.
when talking about chris barnes, you can't talk about him being good when he's lined up, because he's good, period, end of story. one pattern just can't adequately show his skill. i bet if there was a tournaments in which several shots were laid out, every guy on tour would be getting their @$$es handed to them on a silver platter by the guy more often than not.
