Lefty,
I was going to write this exceedingly long reply to all of the drivel you've been spewing. But I decided to keep short and simple, in deferecne to you. You say you have an "outsiders" thinking. That statement is only half true, you maybe an outsider, but you aren't thinking. Thinking means you take in information, dwell on it, and produce new and improved information afterwards. You dismiss everything anyone says that isn't yours, without thinking. You make comparisons to golfing scores that are irrelevant and you never, ever, respond to or answer the points others are trying to make.
I was never an elite college bowler, I was ok, no where near the level of Tony Chapman, Chris Viale, et. al. But I have been through that experience and I have thought and changed my views on bowling because of that. I have bowled a few PBA regionals and been lucky enough, or good enough to cash. Again, after bowling on those shots, my thinking has changed. And DP has it right, great college bowlers deserve the credit he is giving them. I see your list you failed to mention Chris Barnes, an all American Shocker, who won $300,000 in 2 weeks last year. So it works both ways.
The bottom line is this: Musthare*'s claims go beyond the realm of believability. No one has ever said he throws a bad ball, people have said and video has proven that he isn't very accurate (or haven't you seen that great brooklyn on the local news video). Now subtract the prebowling/practice advantage he gained and the fact that he was pretty much alone while doing it. That equation does not add up to 5 900 series in 6 months. It doesn't even add up to 1 900 series. Yet, as I have said before, I think the first one was real, he overacheived he used his "irrational" thinking as you call it. But having done so once is no indication that he can do it again, especially with what he has working against him. Do you think Nolan Ryan ever went out to the mound thinking he was going to lose, or thinking he couldn't strike out anyone who faced him? Positive thinking can't overcome the physical. It can't make you not pull a ball if you stick at the foul line a little. Unless a witness appears out of nowhere, an unbiased witness comes forward saying they saw everything, these are not believable. No matter how irrational his thinking is.
I guess I lied at the beginning of this, saying this would be short, but I guess my irrational thinking got the best of me, I just knew I could write a long rambling post, just like you.
