This is why Oscar Dominguez is better than all the rest

Oscar is playing his second match yesterday in the U.S. Open against Nick the Greek. The match is hill-hill and Nick broke dry. Oscar is dead out and down shooting the 3 ball. As he shoots the 3, his cue barely grazes the 8 ball. Oscar immediately calls a foul on himself and gives Nick ball in hand. Nick runs out for the win. There was no arguing by Oscar. No attempting to act like he didn't touch the 8 ball. No discussion of that it didn't effect the outcome of the game. He took his loss and will move on in the tournament.

Oscar is obviously vying for a spot on the Mosconi Cup too. He needs a strong finish here to make his way in or be a captains pick (which I see as a long shot even though I think Oscar has the credentials). It makes it all the more profound that Oscar doesn't waiver from being a gentleman on and off the table.

Macho Time - get in done from the one loss side Oscar.

I agree it was the right thing to do. But it's a sad commentary on our entire society that we should make special mention when that happens.

You should hear what one of the MC hopefuls (and most likely a lock) said to Oscar when they recently played in a tournament. Pretty sad and low class. Strength to Mark Wilson cause he is gonna need it this year with the team he will have.

I've hosted 3 or 4 professional events in the last 5 months.

EVERY TIME....the loser had an excuse. They couldn't just say, "congrats, you played well".

This is refreshing.

Exactly why everyone calls him a douche. He openly calls me of all people racist though. He's a player though so all is accepted, that's life when you can make a ball.
