    Taxi, is this you? Washington Post Article about Pool Nicknames

    Mickey bought Roman Billiards from "Phil" (the original owner) a few years before it closed. But when he moved his er, "operation" to Randolph Hills, his customers always asked for "Dr. Hemingway", not "Mr. Johnson". When I'd call to place a bet, I'd sometimes ask for "Dr. Faulkner" or "Dr...

    Taxi, is this you? Washington Post Article about Pool Nicknames

    Very definitely it was me. Glad to see someone else still reads newspapers, and thanks for sharing it with the forum. I sent Kelly many more nicknames, but due to space limitations he could only use a handful. Speaking of Geese, he's the front page photo of a series of photos I have on one of...

    Mosconi cup

    What I'm dreading is that leadoff fan's choice doubles match if it's not SVB and Sky.

    According to the DAZN site, at this point it's still 2:00 EST.

    Many casual fans would probably vote to put Minnesota Fats on the MC team.

    Mosconi cup

    If they'd played the last match tonight it'd be starting at nearly midnight in the UK and nearly 1:00 AM in most of Europe. Common sense dictated a postponement.

    Mosconi cup

    Great, what a perfect time for a "Service Interruption". :mad: You'd think they'd stop play until it's resolved.

    Mosconi cup / need a link to watch

    The problem was you have to sign up before you see the pool option. First time I've ever seen that requirement.

    Mosconi cup

    I've never had problems with DAZN once I'm able to find pool matches. The problem is finding those pool matches. Previously I've signed up only after I've seen the matches listed, but now do you have to sign up first? EDIT: I just signed up and got to the Cup. First time ever I've had to...

    24 minutes before the matches allegedly start, and still nothing showing on DAZN except boxing.

    Mosconi cup / need a link to watch

    There's still no indication of anything but boxing matches on DAZN.com. They're really taking it down to the last minute.

    Mosconi cup / need a link to watch

    Good to know, but Christ, DAZN sure takes its sweet time in providing links to their pool matches. I'm just hoping the link actually shows up as advertised.

    Mosconi Cup Stats -- Career Records for Players on 2022 Teams

    Prior to 2002, Barry Bonds had a postseason BA of .196, with 1 HR and 6 RBI in 27 games. People were calling him a choke artist in spite of his then-5 MVP awards. Should the Giants have benched Barry Bonds for the then-upcoming 2002 postseason?

    So, are the old Gandy Big G tables really all that bad?

    Being "good enough" for Beanie's doesn't mean that they were good. I played at J&J plenty of times BITD, and it was the nonstop action that was the attraction, not those godawful Gandy tables. The best tables in the DC area at the time were the first three GCs at Randolph Hills and the front...

    Good gambling books

    Just to mention a few more obvious pool books: Grady's Bet High and Kiss Low (Best title ever if nothing else) John Grissim's Billiards R. A. Dyer's Hustler Days and The Hustler and the Champ and then IMO the best of them all: Freddy the Beard's The "Encyclopedia" of Pool Hustlers
