Yep.  I'll be updating "what's in the bag", and the various scores to the games here.  YOu can discuss stuff.  Woo, bowling!

What's in the bag:

Semifinals
Mika Koivuniemi- Blazing inferno
Mike Machuga-  Classic Zone
Norm Duke- Triumph
Parker Bohn III- Impulse Zone

Finals
Mika-  Classic Zone
Parker-  Impulse on right, original inferno on left

Match Scores:

Match 1:  Mika defeats Machuga, 192 to 177.  Machuga opens twice, need 2 strikes to win in the 10th, and left the big 4.
Match 2:  Bohn defeats Duke 236 to 206.
Final:  Mika defeats parker 200-196 to capture his 5th title.  He then proceeded to high five the 6 foot geico lizard mascot.

Wow, why is it that the users of BR jump on the pros any chance they get for a slight miss on TV or a low score.

You guys have NO IDEA how hard PBA Pattern D/Chameleon is.  Go back to your league walls and bumper bowling patterns and lets see how many spares you miss or 190 games you shoot.  Everyone knows that a walled up pattern increases spare percentage too since the majority of league bowlers do not change their release on spares(same release, revrate, etc with a plastic ball that will still "hook up" to the pin when it finds friction).

To anyone not appreciative of these guys skill and abilities, bowl a PTQ or regional and see how bad you get trounced.  Trust me, I've been there and it's not a good feeling to see how bad you suck when compared to the guys that do this for a living.

Actually, I do. I've bowled on 8 sport condition/pba shots in the last 6 months, including pattern D. Cumulative average of 187, with an 8 game average of 160 on a 33 foot sport shot with screaming backends(really an average killer). I throw plastic at all spares hard and staying behind the ball, changing my release. There is still no excuse for missing a 4 pin, as mika said on tv once "pro's don't miss spares"
