Oscar Dominguez missed with ball in hand at the Chuck Markulis Memorial Tournament at Hard Times Billiards in Sacramento just this past Sunday. It has happened to everybody that you miss a super simple shot or even ball in hand I don't care who you are. Some will deny it, but they aren't being honest...lol.
Funny story. I was gambling scotch doubles and one of the guys on the other team is a strong local player, we will call him Mike. I don't remember how it came up but somehow the topic of missing with ball in hand got mentioned. Well Mike just started going off about how he could never miss ball in hand, and making fun of the very idea and how impossible it was, and he just would not let it go. You have to know him but he is a real funny guy and was being real animated about it too.
Nobody else is even saying anything about it but he just keeps going on and on and on making fun of how impossible it would be that he could ever miss with ball in hand saying things like "man if I ever miss with ball in hand I'm gonna hang up my cue and start selling Bibles, I swear the next time you saw me I would be selling Bibles" and other such stuff. Well I kid not not it wasn't but about 30 minutes later when he did exactly that, missed with ball in hand, and on a simple and routine straight in three foot shot at that, not even a tough one. Needless to say three out of the four of us lost it and were rolling laughing and play stopped for bit as we just kept laughing and making fun of him about the whole deal and telling him we better see him carrying a stack of Bibles under his arm the next time he came in the pool room etc, and even he had to see the humor in it. The timing was just too perfect.
