I think I was surprised by the outcome of every match.
There was some awfully good bowling going on there.

Aside:
What is sad is that somehow the PBA thinks that by putting out the PBA equivalent of The House Shot, "Stand left, throw right, Rev the piss out of it and win", will bring the audience back to the PBA. Shutting out everyone but crankers will not win viewers. Everyone on that show could bring the ball back from anywhere.
(No, I don't know what the solution is.)

I thought the show yesterday was good.  I don't think Randy Pederson was really into it for some reason and seemed lost at some times during the show.  Maybe it was uncalled for but Bill O'neill and the shaving cream at the end was awesome in my opinion.

The show was excellent and surprising in many ways. As I said, there was some great bowling. I enjoyed it. For all matches except one, the higher ranking bowler beat the guy below him. Barrett might have won, but Malott never lost the pocket.

They again open the tournament up to anybody that has ever won a regional and they still only get 88 entries.  At least when they tried this a few years ago they threw some money at it.  $40k and nobody comes to play.   

I believe Many regional winners and senior winners do not want to bowl in this tournament as for the longest time it was for National tour winners only. I believe they want to preserve the integrity of this tournament as much as possible.  I also believe it lost some integrity when they opened it up originally to others that were non national tour winners.

The integrity is already gone, the PBA took care of that a few years ago, so guys not bowling because they want to preserve it is not the reason they only get 88 entries.  Moving the date a month before the tournament took care any guys with a job showing up.

By the way, I still enjoyed watching the tournament.  The matches were very well contested.

I love it.  All of you guys who are "so in touch" with the players on the tour rag on O'Neill for the shaving cream gag don't seem to know that him, Fagan, and Belmonte room together, are best buds, and this is the stuff good pals do with each other.  Any of you sanctimonous purists bitch when a baseball player gets a face full of shaving cream?  Of course you don't.  But this is the PBA and bowling so all you can do is rag, rag, rag.  Like I said earlier, don't watch it if it upsets your sensibilities so much, clowns.

Ain't that the truth.  He's spewing this stuff over at the other site and people are slapping him down right and left.  He can't backpedal fast enough.  Its like when he bitched that the PBA should make an anouncement about Ryan Shafer's wife.  BEFORE RYAN SHAFER MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.  Yep, that's right.  Just to rag on the PBA for the way they were conducting business yet again.  Somebody get him some bowling ball reviews so he can read them and act like an expert on how they react on the lane.   :o

Barbasol probably liked it. Anything to keep a sponsor happy, at the PBA, is good.

Randy's heartfelt comments seemed more timely, once Ryan's name was brought up.
