WOW... What a finish
« on: February 27, 2011, 05:41:15 AM »
I feel bad for Mika big time!!! But give credit to Norm Duke for adding the pressure too make Mika show up. Just like Shafer did to Bill O'Neil.. Pressure is a ***** For such a short season, this has been very entertaining and drama type year..

I don't understand why everyone's feeling bad for mika it isn't like he left a pocket split or something he made a good shot left a 10 pin and missed simple as that he's a professional he should make that everytime.  I think fans should be happy for norm rather then feel bad for MAJOR mika

Thought the stone 8 killed Norms chances and he wouldn't finish.

 

The solid 10 appears to be the bigger momentum changer.

I can't believe that Mika threw at that rack in the first place.There was no way he was striking with the 3 and the 6 pin that far off spot.

+1 MrHurt24 on all accounts. I enjoyed all three days of the US Open telecasts as well as many of the shows this season: Much better than last year.

Woooooow! I was watching the show and my wife decided to go on facebook as I had it on slight delay with my DVR (but that's my problem) and didn't say who won but was mad when someone on her game said who won and didn't tell me anything else which was respectful.

 

So around in the 8th frame when Duke got screwed on that solid 8 I knew Mika was going to win. This guy is one of the best spare shooters on tour. Even when Duke struck out and all that just to make him mark and get count I knew Mika had it. I thought Mika's first shot was 10 in the pit. I didn't think it looked flat at all when the 10 pin stood and couldn't believe it. I obvious shoker after that had my hands on my head and me shouting "I can't $#@in believe it!".

 

I cheered for Tommy, Mika and Norm (don't care for Shafer) so whoever was going to win I wasn't really cheering for anyone to lose. I wanted Norm to win but how can you not acknowledge what Mika has done this season? I couldn't believe what was going in Norm's mind. This is like x3 different when Del Ballard threw a gutter ball against Pete Weber in 1991 only for the fact Mika never misses single pin spares and this guy has not only just won (3 majors?) but with all the titles on the PBA tour, a televised 300 game in Erie and all the tournaments he has won all over the world. This was an amazing tournament and thanks to the PBA for having it on tv for 3 days including the match play on Friday night. I'm already looking forward to this tournament next year....just would love for it to come to Fort Worth!

 Not that im sure mika cares too much with the year hes had, but to put it in perspective, that was a pretty expensive ten pin. Ive had plenty of things ride on picking up a ten pin, and those were bad enough, but on tv for the us open? Really feel bad for him. The O'Neill match last night was just as bad, especially after all the crying and moaning shafer was doing. Im sure thats not the way norm wanted to win, but he shot a pretty decent score, and put the strikes up there when he needed to.

That's just like, your opinion, man.

Wow, what a finish. This by far has been the most exciting season in a long time. If the Shark championship had only been this good. Great week of bowling if you also watched ExtraFrame. I'm gonna watch the show again on espn3.com

 Can u imagine if barnes missed that?   This website would be destroying him.....

A half ten is not a great shot.  No, you shouldn't have carried it.

 I agree. If it was Barnes, this post would have already been like 5 pages long by now making cracks about him. But I think regardless of the outcome, Mika will be player of the year, he definitely deserves it despite this bad lost.

There are some pathetic jokers on this site that get sick joy from Barnes' shortcomings, luckily, they havent shown up to bash Mika. Maybe they realize shooting a corner pin in their mixed league for the right to get more toppings on their pizza at the seasons end banquet is no comparison? Nevertheless, im curious to see if/how Mika recovers from this.

 so because Mika is a pro he is not allowed to miss a spare? QBs in the NFL throw INTs and that is okay? Corners get burned by wide outs and wide outs drop passes that hit them in the hands they should do eveything perfectly?

 

It happens to pros in all sports, and I know you and I are not perfect with ten pins cause no is.
