Get the call from pat fleming, do you want to get in this?
hell yeah!!! go home get dressed, i'm in. 20 minutes later at pool room get the word i'm out. they filled the bracket. dammmmmmmmm. 40 minutes later, and they offer it back, someone doesn't show up. holy crap!!!!!!!!!
back in this game for one year now after a 20 year layoff and only one year hittin em i'm in the world's. wtf????????
asked pat for any advice. his reply "have fun" boy did I.
not enough meds to calm me down out there. up against sigel and i'm down 69 to minus 6 at safety battle and I shoot a backcut ridiculous side pocket combo that sigel replies " wow where the hell did that come from?"
made 2 more shots and took break. out in parking lot loading up on anything to calm me down, ie jameson, smoke, doin pushups in parking lot.come back in need and extension for my cue on long break shot and ask vinny ericson if he has his can i use it. sigel calls ref to see if that's allowed. breakshot made and run a 26 and miss a hanger. mike runs out and wins. was a blast! another match i need 6 and miss break shot to lose 100-94, was just for bragging rights but still no complaints was against jim gottier, then game with zion he won 100-46. was great match we had fun. mika leaves me dead one in pack and i blast it, shot misses goes 3 rails kicks off 3 more balls and goes in same pocket. i tell mika i'm kinda sorry but not real sorry kiddin around and my heart is pounding like a freight train, he says "the best roll i ever seen in my life". whoooooooahhhhhhh mika wins 100-26 all in all eddie didn't win a match but eddie won. sigel lost his last match and handed me his vest said keep it, tried to give it back and he says "keep it, you scored more points against me than anyone" so look for it on ebay. lmao was told this group 2 was scary tough but wtf i wanted to play everybody and felt like i did. God bless America.

Eddie,

i really felt your pain, you looked like a lost puppy when they said they filled the field. then moments later you were back in, the expression on your face was priceless.
I was really glad that you played, now take this expirience and build off of it !

Thanks for the best Sicilian slices on the planet !

Eddie you did great!! Everyone knew how excited you were to be playing there! you were like a kid in a candy store! Especially when you ran up to me to take a picture of you with your score of 94 (i added it below) You played well!! I can't believe Mike gave you his vest! Thats too funny! Too bad you didn't have a silver marker you could have had him sign it! LOL! ( would bring more $$ on ebay! ) Pat gave you great advice...."have fun"... in a room full of those guys, thats all you can do! Keep up the great playing and i am sure we will see you there next year!

thanx heather, that pic is nice. only thing is the 94 score is mine, the little number 1 next to the two zero's was Jim Gottier's. great game till I needed 6 and missed that break shot. Was for braggin rights. Had great time, glad you were there to record it. Was the best!
 
Marker

Not only did I have a silver marker, but I had a gold one too! Wish I knew you could have used one, Eddie. Glad you had the opportunity to live the dream. I enjoyed watching your matches.
