That's not choking... That's just bad carry, he hit the pocket on that lane almost all game and got no help

Post by: bigbadbrad215 on April 05, 2009, 01:28:02 PM: It makes me happy that he struggles on TV. Makes it worth watching, just to see what'll happen to him week in and week out. Stone 8. Good times.
Title: Re: Stone 8
Post by: NOTHUMB on April 05, 2009, 01:28:28 PM: At least he threw a good shot in that situation. Bad breaks---I can live with that. Gotta hate a bad break that potentially costs you POY.....

Chris Barnes is not a choker---he is just a great opponent to draw on TV.

See, but, he wwent through the face a few frames back. HE STRUGGLES. Yeah, he went 243 the game before, but goin through the face when you need to make good shots is not good. Not necessarily choking, but, it's Scroggins, man. C'mon.

Post by: Strokewiththelefthand on April 05, 2009, 01:34:08 PM: That's no choke job. That's throwing two great shots and getting shafted! WoW! I fell off my couch onthe 2nd shot. Ewwww! Scroggins in the finals. Barnes missed the pocket once and lost. That's amazing! Big ups to local guy Rich Wolfe. Watching him bowl is like everything right about left handed bowling, well bowling in general. Way to play the lanes they needed to be played and not limping the ball up the 5 like most lefties. No offense.

Post by: NOTHUMB on April 05, 2009, 01:36:07 PM: Ahh Stone 8s hurt. Ask Randy Pederson and his opponent Ernie Schlegel back in the day.

Again---he made a good shot---2 of them actually when he needed them. Just didnt knock all 10 down. For the first time in awhile---Im not going to knock him for losing on TV---when it came to the 10th, when he needed 1 shot to win---he didnt go 2-8-10 or 3-6-10. He stoned an 8 pin.

Chris Barnes is not a choker---he is just a great opponent to draw on TV.
Title: Re: Stone 8
Post by: bigbadbrad215 on April 05, 2009, 01:37:26 PM: At least Scroggins' first shot in the title match was 10 back.

STONE 8 FOR NORM!!!
Title: Re: Stone 8
Post by: bigbadbrad215 on April 05, 2009, 01:38:43 PM: Norm's just payin homage to Barnes. He says, "I can stone an 8 too. But I'll win."

"And, that, folks, is the US Open."

It's bowlin, dude. Everyone gets bad breaks. It's done and over with. I don't have to like Barnes if I don't want to. I think he's a crybaby. If he wins, all the credit in the world to him. If not, you'll hear about it. He's good, yes. But, he just gets effed with on TV. I enjoy watching it.

Malott deserves it more, personally. I'd like to see him win it, and the way Duke is going, he very well might.

Oh look, signature updating finally works.

Don't count Norm out yet. He's in the pocket. Scroggins is all over the lane.

Scroggins made the shots he needed. He filled the tenth against Barnes, so I say he deserves it.
Title: Re: Stone 8
Post by: NOTHUMB on April 05, 2009, 02:18:01 PM: Agreed---especially the finish. Fabulous finish by Barnes (see I said something nice about CB).

Apparently he did, because not only did he BOWL in the title match, he won the match and $100K.

Win by a stick or win by a ton of wood - doesn't matter. A win is a win.

Just watching the replay on espn classic, one thought came to mind watching the Barnes v. Scroggins semi-final match, I'm sure we here on BR.com can remember who bowled in the Motel 6 Roll to Riches in its inaugural year...

C Barnes went Brooklyn for strike #6 v Scroggins for 200k! With that all being said Barnes owed Scroggins a big one and the bowling gods just equaled things out...I'm trying to justify why Mikey won the match.

I must say Barnes this Telecast didn't seem to get in his own way like he has times before.

On a side note, I was hoping R Wolfe would win, he had a great look and attitude on the show. Fun to watch!
