Title: Your pick for the TOC??
Post by: tarheel_bk on January 21, 2009, 01:44:18 AM: I am going with Wes Malott, he is bowling unbelievably consistent right now and I don't think that this pattern will slow him down.
Title: Re: Your pick for the TOC??
Post by: BShep on January 21, 2009, 09:48:30 AM: It's hard to argue with the hottest bowler on the planet. I look for Shafer to have a good showing as he always seems to be in the hunt on the tougher patterns.
My wishful thinking pick is Bryan Goebel. Hope he has a great week.

i would love duke to win and get his 4 consecutive majors but i think that Ken Simard or Bill O'Neil, even though it would be their first title and a major but they deserve a first title and bill has made so many telecasts this year and ready for a title and ken can overpower tough patterns and his confidence is probably still zooming from throwing a televised 289

Kenny and Bill are not bowling this week. Tournament of Champions. They dont' have a title yet, so they can't bowl this week.

Post by: revTrex on January 21, 2009, 12:22:13 PM: Come on Carmen! In last place now, but wouldn't that be great?

Really, though, you'd have to think Duke or Malott are the favorites.

Title: Re: Your pick for the TOC??
Post by: David Lee Yskes on January 21, 2009, 12:40:22 PM: my pick is Duke, kinda hard to NOT pick him since he's won the last 3 majors. The other obvious pick is Malott, he is just so HOT right now its stupid.

Other picks, would be PDW, WRW jr. I would say Bill O'Neill but since he cant bowl in it, I cant pick him, but he is also very hot right now.

Maybe Pete Weber or WRW Jr and round out the show with Norm Duke...

Post by: Jayemm on January 21, 2009, 01:26:36 PM: ryan shafer.

i think that this is finally the major that shafer wins. i think that if he hadnt gotten the flu before the show last TOC, he would have won.

look out for kenny parks. the guy has mad skills

Post by: Spider Ball Bowler on January 21, 2009, 02:18:22 PM: I was hoping to see John Nolen tear it up, but after 5 he is +59 and not even in the hunt. Those guys are good.

My pick is Mike Scroggins. Party at Scroggies!

Post by: mmcfarland300 on January 22, 2009, 09:32:50 AM: I could handle seeing a Del Ballard Jr, Voss, Monacelli, and Goebel.
Title: Re: Your pick for the TOC??
Post by: Wilbert on January 22, 2009, 09:33:26 AM: With the advantage of 2 squads of qualify, I think the person to beat is Malott. I would like to to see Voss at least make TV.

With the 64 man field on most PBA stops, a lot of good players are not out there. They can win, but don't want to go through the qualifing. (A factor for giving Anthony's wins greater value than WRJ.)

Post by: jbuzz31 on January 22, 2009, 11:01:04 AM: norm duke is waaaaay back. but look whose #5? Michael Fagan, could this be his time to shine?

Wait, those jokes aren't funny anymore. So I'll just say I'm rooting for DeVaney, but expecting a lefty to win, probably PA.

Post by: Tarasevich on January 22, 2009, 04:35:59 PM: Voss and Smith are both in it for Match play. I would like to see either one get to the final match. A Voss comeback from semi-retirement to take the TOC would be great to watch. Plus he is bowling very well this week. Somehow I think the scores will start to drop as they get to TV and we won't be bored with a strikefest.
