This truly is a testament to the quality product that Mr. Bunnell is producing.:) If it can withstand an Earl barrage is is constructed well.

HAHAHAHA, YES SIR!
 
Earl breaks, makes a ball and shoots safe on the 2.

BJ playes 2, 3, and dogs the 4. from here it looks like the 4 won't go, but Earl is a world champion. He'll probably play safe. Yep. And it's a good one, but I think BJ can go 1 rail. He did, but completely missed the 4 and instead pissed in his spot ball (the 7). Oopsie.

Earl has BIH. Stuff happens (we're laughing at this guy w/ a "For Rent" shirt).

Earl makes the 5 and gets bad shape on the 6. Plays another good safety. Remember, BJ is still up by 5. He's at the table and hopefully will get back to the hill again. He hits the 6 1 rail but leaves Earl straight in. Earl draws it back to get shape on the 8, but he's left the cue on the rail. 8 falls easily and now he's playing the 9 in the.... corner.

BJ is up by 4.

pardon me for being a dumbass but what is hi?
 
Earl breaks, makes a ball... the cue ball. Hey, at least it's something.

BJ has BIH and is studying the table. One in the side, 2 in the corner, in 3 in the side, 4 in the corner, 5 in the opposite corner, in the bottom-right, 7 in left-side, 8 in bottom left and 9 in top-right. 'cept BJ can stop at the 7.

That's my guess anyways. I type faster than he plays. let's see if I'm right.

Damn I'm good. I never miss from the keyboard.

BJ up by 5.

I think this is JUST what Earl needs. I hope he stays with this. If he ever gets used to the steady grind of gambling and the distractions, he will be a force to reckon with in tournaments and gambling. I think the fact that he got away from gambling and the theatrics that often goes with gambling has taken something away from his game. A few more times of doing this and he will settle in to playing HIS GAME. I think you just have to get used to it. I don't play in competition often enough to get used to it and while I can't hear my wife telling me to take the clothes out of the dryer, I can hear a sweat-hog sigh from 30 feet.:o

More rack advice by Earl. Back to tapping balls. This time he's tapping the back ball and BJ readjusts everything.

BJ breaks. Dry.

Tough shot on the 1 for Earl. Might be able to combo the 5, but instead plays safe-ish. I thin BJ can see it, but it's a tough cut down the long rail to the bottom-right.

BJ makes it and is on the 2, which is hanging in bottom-left. 3 ball in the side. 2 rail position on the 4 and he's a little close to his work. Damn near frozen, or so it seems, but it cuts it into the left-side and comes around 4 rails to play the 5, which is hanging in top-right corner.

Bad shape on the 6. Wanted to play it in the right-side, but instead is about 1/8" away with an acute angle to the corner. Okay, BJ plays a distance safety. Maybe Earl will bank it long rail?

Nope, goes for a safety, but leaves BJ wide open. It's long, but BJ can make it. Okay, well, not only did BJ miss but he scratched in the side. BJ just gives up the rack.

BJ up by 4. Earl is racking.
 
Sweat Hog!!!!!!!!

Joey, I literally laughed out loud when I got to the sweat hog line. Don't hear talk like that very often, well on AZ anyway. Hear it everyday here in La. HAHA

Tell Earl that its your joint & tapping ain't allowed...it does create a low spot.;)
 
are they playing on some weird special equipment or shooting with umbrellas or something? I've never heard of earl going from 'straight in' to 'bad shape 1 or 2 balls later' (and failing to get out) over and over again. Are we seriously at 15+ racks with (almost) no runouts?
 
In honor of Earl getting back into the gambling ring.....Welcome back. Your dreams are your ticket out....Welcome back.

Earl Breaks, makes a ball (BJ's big head in way again) and it looks like the 9 is hanging in the top-left. Might be a short rack. BJ won't move!!!

Something happened and BJ is at the table. OKay, some back-n-forth. Earl plays a 4-5 combo in the side then misses the 4 in the side. BJ is back. Makes the 4, banks the 6 in the same pocket and is very straight on the 7. and he makes it.

BJ back to 5.
