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

I never thought you could leave six pins and still have a split until I saw that.    Blew me away.  Fortunately, it wasn't mine.

TJ did follow up the 290 with a 192...lol. Great call


I was just joking, but it did turn out nicely.  I figured he finally woke up and would start shooting the lights out as usual.  Nice to see Himmler do well, I like him.

Looks like it's gonna be Patrick Healey and Mika versus Malott and PA.

Geez, if Mika and PA face off we'll never hear the end of their "huge rivalry"...

Dave Ryan sure knows how to beat stuff into the ground.  Can you imagine if TJ were a lefty and he had to face Mika in the finals?  Dave Ryan would have a boner for a week, he'd be so excited.

I like most of those guys, except for PA.  He should take advantage of that four-year exemption and slack off for a couple of years.  I like Mika and Wes (has he lost some weight?), Healey is ok.  It'll be an average show.  Probably not much special unless PA and Mika end up in the finals and then it'll be the match of the century.

I'd like to see some other faces on TV, though.  I've heard lots about Fagan but I've yet to see him on TV.  Rudy as well.
