PBA - Matchplay #32 Dino Castillo Vs. #1 Tommy Jones
« on: November 04, 2005, 04:50:02 AM »
PBA Mile High Classic - Top 32 1st Round of MatchPlay Update

Well, looks like we know who the top 32 bowlers in regards to this week's Mile High Classic in Colorado.

Earlier this year I echoed how I wanted to see Dino Castillo succeed on this year's tour after gaining an exemption for the 05-06 PBA Season. Well, he just squeezed through beating out Blaise Bedolla for the 32nd spot to make it through the first rounds of match play.

This is Dino's first true test as he finds himself bowling against a good friend in Tommy Jones (Both Ebonite Staffers).

I am also a Tommy Jones fan and want to see him tie or break Jim Pencak's TV win record, but I also want to see fellow Filipino American Dino Castillo break through. Both have power games and are exciting to watch. I wonder if the Rookie & Former Team USA member Dino will have the mental toughness to get past the hot Tommy Jones?

SIDENOTE: Who will be the first out of the 10 Tour Trial winners to make the TV show?

This week we have 4 out of 10 tour trial winners making the Top 32

#9 Tom Daugherty, Tampa, Fla., 3,131.
#24 Chris Loschetter, Olmsted Falls, Ohio, 3,056. (Made t.v. last year)
#28 Christopher Collins, Fayetteville, N.C., 3,044.
#32 Dino Castillo, Carrollton, Texas, 3,021.

Best Regards,
M.C. Rammer

Dino got his butt whooped by TJ.  He stuck it to him with a 279-262 win in game 3 for his only win.  I'd like to have seen him make the show, if only to have prevented TJ from doing so.

I think Loschetter will be the first to make the show, though.  He did very well last week and he's on to the Round of 16 this week.  I think he's getting Brad Angelo, though the brackets aren't posted in a convenient format like last year.

TJ is down to Himmler 2-0 in the round of 16. I like Tommy but would like to see Himmler win this one..

Himmlers going to be tough to beat, shot 805 his first 3.


He ain't quite at that level this time, but he's putting the smack down on TJ through two games.  Himmler likes to get his exemption out of the way early, so he's probably super motivated to do well this week.

TJ seems to have found something.  He just shot 290.

He's a one-hit-wonder.  He'll follow it with 180.

shelley how can you say tommy jones is a one hit wonder
have you lost your mind.he's the best bowler on tour and
will win player of the year.p.s. i don't even like him
but willing to admit the obvious


Was a joke.  Sheesh.  Dunno if he's got PoY in him this year.  It's the third event.  PA didn't start dominating until the second half when he won in Dallas and Birmingham.  Heck, he didn't even make a show between Dallas and the Masters.  Don't put all your eggs in the TJ basket just yet.

But that's not going to stop Dave Ryan from calling him the next PoY if he does happen to make the show.

if TJ makes the show again this week, WINS, and makes either 2 more shows or 1 show/win + a major telecast, he's your PoY........gotta call it already with the way he's bowling


Or WRW could win 3 titles this year, including a major, or Barnes could take a major and another title, or Mika could throw another 300, or Steve Jaros could win 3 shows, or...

He made four shows and won four times last year and they still didn't give it to him.  Jaros won three times the year before and I don't remember him being PoY.  If this were a major tournament and he won it, I might feel like calling him PoY after two weeks.

But there are too many other good bowlers that haven't even gotten rolling.  Candidate?  Fo' shizzie.  Shoe-in?  Let's wait and see what else happens in the 90% of the season yet to come.

I see that Eddie made it to the round of 8.  About time for him to win.

I was thinking the same thing when I kept checking on his match.

TJ is out, Himmler beat him 4-2 in the round of 16.. I like Jones but ready for some new blood on TV except Wes. I want him to pull out this game and be in the top 8.
