OK, I am like a walking zombie this morning after getting two and a half hours of sleep last night. When I got into my car last night to go home after playing our team's final match it was 1:47am. What an effin joke. I am getting so tired of this crap. Literally!! Seems like every week its 5 hours minimum to play all five matches. The main culprit of our marathon 6 hour and 40 minute APA 8B league night last night was a match between a SL3 on our team and a SL2 on the other. This was a 3-2 race in which the SL2 beat the SL3 2-2. This match lasted 2 hours and 10 minutes!!!!
To play FOUR freakin games! I've never seen anything like it. If there is one thing that is going to push me away from the APA it is this. I get up at 5am for work. By the time I fell asleep it was after 2:30. This is by far the biggest turnoff for me. Watching two women(no offense to the ladies of AZB) who can't play pool to save their lives take 37 innings(no joke) to play four racks is just a mind-numbing, colossally agonizing experience. Neither of them take the game very seriously which is frustrating to begin with. And there's really nothing you can do about it either. Sure you can make a few comments to try and move things along, but slow play is slow play.
In one of the games it took them 7 or 8 attempts to pocket the 8B when it was the last ball on the table. Seriously??? At least four of the shots were simple straight in shots too. And of course they used all 16 coaching timeouts! I just don't know how much longer I can do this. I like all of they guys on my team and I like our only girl too. She is a sweetheart and I really AM a team player but I think the more this happens, the more I realize that I need more from playing pool than this APA shit can provide. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
Oh yeah....I won my match 5-1 against another SL6 in less than 35 minutes with one B&R. I really wanted to go home.
Did I mention how much I hate league night??
