Wayne-

  Where in any of my posts do i have anything inmature?  I am not trying to start a war with words at all but you were the one if i am correct that blew up first. I was just defending myself but never did i get inmature.

WOW!!!! Allstar23, it took you a whole 10 seconds to log on and complain.
If you waited a couple more min you would have seen the correct show being telecast. It may be wise not to jump to conclusions soquickly. The telecast is live so things can go wrong!


If you ask me thats more inmature than any of my posts that i have posted here.

Allstar23, I did not see anything wrong with my post, I simply stated that it only took you a few seconds to complain about something that if you waited a few seconds more, worked itself out. Nothing immature, simply stated, patience is a virtue. I kept my vcr running even though it was the wrong telecast at first, in hopes ESPN would switch over to the live show, which they eventually did.

I put ESPN on 1:25 and when the bowling started, I surmised it was a re-run of
of last week's program.  After CBD got up and tossed the slow strike in frame 1, I turned the program off.  I didn't see the show.  Had I known it was a technical difficulty with the live feed or ESPN would have announced it prior to broadcast, I would have seen the show.  Quite disappointing.

Michael, there's a repeat on ESPN2 tonight. Maybe they'll even repeat the beginning of the other one too.

Wayne, Michael is a perfect example of what probably happened with a good portion of the viewing public & an example of why we were up in arms.

Lol, raff, I was gonna say that?  "Now look, she picks up her plastic ball, a ball that goes very straight, and she'll throw it right at the pin."  Is that the only thing they know?  I thought it was Cathy for a while, but apparently Carolyn gets to do it when she doesn't make the telecast.  Then the whole lane conditions debacle.  What normal person is going to know what 30.-whatever mil of oil on the lane means?  I'm not even sure I know.  I know that's how heavy the oil is, I just don't know what's really heavy, and what's really light.  It's almost painful to listen to the commentary sometimes, but Tiffy and Michelle's match was worth it, best we've seen in a while, especially because EVERYONE up until that point was struggling big time.  Another thing, Michelle has seemed almost too relaxed on the show recently.  Has anybody else noticed that?  I don't know how to describe it exactly, but anyone?

Hamster man,

I thought that the commentary was a big improvement over last year. There were a couple of times I thought to myself "just shut up & let them bowl", but on the whole it was pretty good.

I personally think that the PWBA is more of a "bowler's" broadcast & the PBA is more of an entertainment show.

But then again...which one is making mone & which is going under?  Very telling I think.

Overall, the telecasts are much better this year than in previous years.  On the first show, I heard CDL say something I'd never heard her (or anyone else) say before: "That was a bad shot."  Almost fell off the chair.

One small complaint.  The Father's Day greetings to everyone Carolyn knows was okay, but congratulating her niece on graduating from high school was a bit much.

I sometimes wonder if these people think this is their own private show.

The telecast is not the source of the woes that leave us wondering what will happen in the fall.  There is no question that excitement can make it easier to lead potential sponsors to the table, but you have to have good marketing people already there to close the deal.  We have been lacking in that department, and that has contributed to many of the problems regarding the health of the tour.
