opinions will vary-----if walter ray williams, jr., can win it will be his 43rd pba national title. that would make it a great show.

I went to Emerson Lanes in Parkersburg WV and watched the pros in the Round of 64 and i honestly thought that Machuga had no shot. I guess I was wrong.  I was hoping to see Tommy Jones make it but he got beat in the first round.

Yes this should be a very good show. I am sick of seeing the same guys week in and week out. I also love the Cheetah pattern and the high scores. I will be pulling for Walter Ray.

Hey guys you never know if it's gonna be a good or bad show...you just never know, maybe an all out brawl will take place with bowling balls flying everywhere...or maybe Britney Spears will be in the booth and explain why she went crazy so I can stop hearing about it every five seconds on tv.

Personally I want Traber to get his fat a** kicked. I bowled against him in match play during a Regional. He didn't have a good shot on the pair we bowled on and threw a 170 something. The whole time I could hear him b**tching while I'm up on the approach making my shot. I had some hold inside and was playing a fall back shot. He was playing his fudge shot outside. His last shot he moves in 15 boards to about where I am( I guess to mock me ) but pulls the crap put of it and almost wiffs the head pin cross over. One of the pro's next to us said to him " No, there's not that much hold ! ". I almost cracked up.

Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Salnicker with the Southern Cal Bowling League, and I just got a, an informal report, that a member of your team, uh, Walter Sobchak, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true of course, it contravenes a number of the league's by-laws, and article 27 of the league...

I know.  Oatman deserves a title shot more than that @$$clown that does nothing in practice but do trick shots.  I hope Machuga gets destroyed.  But I have a feeling he has a good chance if he beats WRW.

Okay...  so do you feel like explaining such a ludicrous statement/opinion?  If that is TRULY the only thing he does while practicing he wouldn't even be a contender week in and week out.

I have seen him in practice.  He is a great bowler, but he definately doesn't take it as seriously as some other people on the tour.  Ask anyone here that has seen him at a tournament.

Is Dale Traber really that fat?  Is he not related to the other Traber???  Also, are you talking about the Baltimore Classic last fall in Maryland?  I was there and as usual Machuga was practicing his trick shots.  He didn't look fresh either.  He must of partied too early or something.

 I remember when Jason Couch was a bit larger than he is now. There have been many. Del Ballard is bigger than Traber. I just don't get people who have to be so petty as to attack someone for their physical attributes. He's a little large. So what? Wanna make fun of me because i have one eye?? When someone is without fault they will have reason to trash talk someone else. They wont be respected for it, but they will have the tools.

The photo you have that's marked "TOP LEFT" is not of Dale Traber. I don't know who it is, but it isn't Dale.

FWIW, I saw a picture of him today on the VISE Grips exempt player poster (one of the coolest bowling posters in a while, by the way) and he's not as big as I remember him being.

I'm happy for the guy. He's got an old school shot to go along with that old school gut. (g) Go out there and win one for us big guys, Dale!

What are you talking about too bad Machuga beat Oatman?  I was really impressed with the way Machuga threw the ball.  He has a really nice form and definitely made a fan out of me.

I wanted Oatman to make the show just as bad as anyone else but I am not going to insult someone like that.  I thought Machuga was the highlight of the show.  Then again you couldn't help but pull for the other guy to win also.

I was right in that Machuga would have a good chance to win if he beat WRW.  Also, I would like to see PA on every show but not Couch.  I don't care much for PA's bowling ability, being that he is left handed.  But, it is really entertaining to see him talk to his ball the whole show and his facial expressions are priceless.  Two weeks ago he took shot clock penalties because he kept saying:

"come on man, let's go"

to his ball before every shot.  LOL!  PA is a real character!
