Setting up for worst show....ever
« on: March 06, 2010, 05:23:42 AM »
Can you imagine the show being Scroggins...Shafer...Kretzer...and Harman?

They might black it out and let the TV crew have the day off....let's hear it for some upsets.

Im just hoping the best two hander makes it to prove that he does not need special treatment like Belmo to win.

Funny you say that since he did get special treatment: "Palermaa, who bowled in the tournament on a PBA Commissioner’s Exemption" (as per the PBA).

I'm not knocking Osku, he's obviously a tremendous bowler, but so is Belmo, and it shouldn't be a peeing contest to prove who's better--let's just enjoy watching their talents on exhibit and not bash.

Sorry way off base here...Osku is amazing but he hasn't been as versatile as Belmo.  He could hook it better than anyone, but as we've seen over and over again on tour if you can't play with your breakpoint in front of you you're not going to amount to much.

Not saying you are not correct here but Osku did make the TV show at the US Open a few years ago, largely considered the hardest shot on the tour... this guy had game and a lot of it, I just don't think he is fully committed to the PBA tour full time like Belmo now is.

I don't see how it's "very well put" given that, as someone has already pointed out, Belmonte won his tournament coming up through the rabbits, while Osku is on this show after getting a commissioner's exemption. If anything, Osku is the one who got special treatment.

Belmonte is getting special marketing push. He's not getting special treatment. There's a difference there.

Note that I'm not commenting on who's the better bowler between the two, but to say Belmonte got special treatment on the way to his title is laughable.

what do you all expect coming from a screen name "Oskuposer".. Of course there's going to be some sour grapes coming from that direction..

Yeah Jason Hurd won a title too and his feet have never seen right of 25...I said he's incredibly talented but wasn't as versatile as Belmo until the last year or so.  I saw it at the Megabucks where Osku would struggle on shorter patterns where the shot was out and Belmo would still whack them.

Once again...not saying he wasn't good...because he's stupid good.  Just saying that he had to learn to tone it down just like Belmo did.

What's worse....watching a PBA telecast that doesn't suit your taste, or having NO PBA telecast to watch.

Great, we get to watch Scroggins choke on television again. He's like the ugly Chris Barnes.
