Sweet! And home just in time!
Yeah ...
That makes the 3rd time I have watched Danny
miss the game 8 ball. Makes me cringe every time.
Why he didn't just hold the cue right there after
making the 7 and shoot the 8 in the side, I will
never know.
Cory got lucky on jumping the 7 to make the 6
hanging in the hole, and then the cue coming
off the rail an knocking the 9 in the side ...

There is one thing that pisses me off about this match. In the opening interviews, Eva tells both players that they've been playing great, and they both quickly agree with her. Neither player is gracious enough to say, thank you. How hard is it to say two words to let someone know you appreciate their compliment?

Bob,
This is the match my buddy and I attended here. OK, those 2 tables were especially brought in TV tables and had the largest pockets I've seen in 25 years - over 5" corners. They were especially set up for the semi's and finals.
I haven't seen the match yet on TV, but the semi-final match between those two (they played twice) was break and run, break and run - unreal.

Ewa's interview before the finals was to funny.
Ewa had the job of interviewing the players to get their point of views. There were a few pros that commented on Kid D and how slow he was. They were very polite. Next was the pros turn to give a Corey comment. Rodney said he didnt like corey's soft break but he played great pool. I think there was another. Ralph Soquet says that corey has given him some ruff times during their matches and he is an asshole. I almost fell on the floor. It was to much. I like both the guys. It was just funny to see.

The final match wasn't break and run, break and run. There were a number of miss and sit down, miss and sit down parts though. I think the final tally was either 7-4 or 7-5 misses each with Deuel having the 7. There were a FEW break and runs, but not that many, even with the large pockets.
One thing can be gleaned from the match, Basovich can definitely play within a 30 second shot clock and play well. There is NO NEED for him to go back into snail mode and piss everyone off when he isn't timed. In the last game, he was actually RUNNING (no exaggeration) around the table at times. And I don't think he got lousy position on the 8 or missed it because of being pushed for time. He just flat screwed up! He has a great personality and was a super gracious loser in the end...still smiling.
I can't imagine what all of the teachers/instructors/stroke purists would have to say about his warm up strokes with the upper arm situated like it is and going all over hell's creation before he gets into position to fire...or his hand and wrist position while stoking and striking the CB. Whoa Nellie..........!!!
He can flat out play though!

Watched it with Corey last night at Jillians. He said the same thing, why didn't he just leave it for the 8 in the side. amc4
