Earl Strickland v/s BJ Ussery This Sunday (8/19/2007)
- Thread starter Drater
- Start date
Rack 10
--------
Earl breaks dry.
BJ played the worst safe I've ever seen. Leaves Earl straight in on the 1.
Earl makes this game look easy. Runs out to the 8 and gets kinda funny shape but makes it, then plays the 9 in the top-left.
BJ is up by 2.
Hmm, I must have missed a rack. Strange. This place is busy tonight.
Rack ??
--------
Okay, since I've lost count, no more rack counts. I'll never be a TV announcer.
Earl breaks dry again. 9 ball is sitting in the top-left. BJ might try to cut the 1 (he's got a tough shot w/ a lot of traffic). Maybe carom. Yeah, he cuts the 1 into the 9, misses, but pissed it in the bottom-right. Hey, that's what makes 9ball so great.
BJ is now up 3.
Looks like I'm on trash detail for a minute. I'll probably miss a rack or two while. Hang tight.

Troublemaker
Put that "MATH GENIUS" who can't count past 2, on trash detail. You have some serious business to take care of here.

Skirt
We don't want you messing up that perty skirt either. So put the trash bags and get back to the commentary.

Sounds like Earl needs one of those Varney break cues.
I wouldn't bet...but I still like BJ's side of this match up. The kid has heart in spades.

Rack 12?
---------
BJ breaks dry for the first time. Earl got out of line from the three to the 4, tries to cut it down the rail, but it rattles and plays safe by accident. BJ tries to play the 4 off the short-rail with inside, but misses. cueball on top short rail middle and 4 ball in short bottom rail. Earl hits it and leaves the 4 on the left long rail w/ a severe angle.
BJ about to shoot. Damn that boy can play safe. Leave Earl behind the 6.
Man, Earl kicks one rail and the cue curves right around the 4, comes back around 2 rails and hits the 4, but he scratches in the side.
BJ takes BIH, plays the 4, 5, 6, and calls/plays the 7 in the corner.
BJ back up to 4 games.
Rack 13?
--------
Forget trash duty! BJ breaks and makes the 1 in the bottom-left. Cue ball on the top rail, but open to play the two, but he misses. Leaves Earl long but fairly easy.
Earl makes the 2 & 3 and comes around 3 rails to make the 4. Earl tries to bank the 5 into the 6 in the corner and misses. BJ plays it and the 6 but leaves himself tough on the 7. BJ dogged it.
Earl is straight in and comes around 2 rails to be perfect on the 8. BJ gives him the game.
BJ up by 3. This might take all week!
BTW, Crown is great.
Rack 14?
---------
Almost had more score drama. Earl waited till after the break to move his marker. BJ up by 3. Earl broke and made a ball (finally). I think Earl missed the 2.
(WTF is up w/ people forgetting their ID's?)
Anyways, I missed a few shots, but it looks like BJ won. I guess BJ ran out.
BJ up for 4 again.

HoW's The HUMIDITY ?
Time for Earl to miss and sweep the remaining balls off the table.
Doug
( and start arguing with the spectators )
Did he tap the balls with a heavily taped hand ?
Earl will get FIRED UP and get that 'look/glare' in his eyes.... and run 10 racks.... IMO

Rack 15ish
-----------
BJ makes the 1 and now shot on the 2.
BJ & Earl are exchanging words but the music is too loud to hear what they're saying. Probably something about opera.
BJ leaves Earl straight in on the 2 and he pounds it. (Glad I can touch type). 3, 4, 5 down.
Earl looks focused now. 6 gone. And so are the 7, 8, and 9. Hahaha, I typed this before he made the 9, but he made it anyways. What a fantastic pool player.
BJ up by 3.
Rack 16
---------
Earl inspects his own rack. And breaks dry. BJ kicks at the 1, hits it but scratches. Shit-talking w/ customers and Earl runs out. I'm sure it was great, but I missed it.
BJ is now up by 2.
Rack 17, maybe
---------------
Yeah, this could go on all night. Earl's wearing gloves on both hands and adjusts the straps on ths left.
Earl breaks dry yet again. leaves the 1 in the bottom-left.
Laptop battery is quickly draining. BJ is running out. He's on the 4 right now. Kinda tough on the 5 and Earl walks around to look at the angle to decide if he needs to watch the hit. BJ misses the 5 and the 7 goes 1 rail and rattles in the bottom-left. Earl makes a 5-7 combo and he's probably out. 8 & 9 left on the table and BJ just gives up the rack.
BJ up by 1 rack.

New Battery Please
Get an extension chord, new battery, SOMETHING, just keep that laptop working my friend. This is almost as good as watching a match in person. Definitely more dramatic with that wait.
