    Sigel cue sale

    I want to thank Mensabum for bailing me out on this cue deal gone wrong. He offered to buy the damaged cue from me for a reduced price just so I didn't have to deal with it. He did not need the cue, just felt like it would help me forget about how angry I was. He was right, so thanks buddy!

    China Open

    Watching Gorst-DeLuna now. It’s a long, slow, grinding Race To Eleven 9-Ball. 7-7 now after over two hours! The WPA alternate break rules kills all the momentum. Neither very good player has a chance to catch a gear and get rolling. They run a nice rack and now get to sit down. Momentum...
