Bring back Eliza, dammit! :grin-loving:
Nevermind it looks like we can't do gif animations??? :sorry:
You should be able to, as long as the .gif isn't over the maximum file size. I used to have an animated avatar on another vBulletin forum.
I am able to upload it on another forum and it works, but not on this one. I tried to upload it via both the browse option (saved to desktop but only uploads as a pic), as well as putting in a link but no dice. I uploaded to imgur and tried to copy and paste a few of those links but also no dice. Thoughts?
Almost got another shutout in TAP league Th night, was up 4-0 in a 5-3 race, but the guy won a game. I was making 1,2 and once 3 balls on the break but just could not get a break and run out of the breaks. Horrible table and ball that you could not draw but the only thing that really stopped me from a break and run was two misses in two games when I had the run mapped out and even had the position I needed. Just focused on too many things at once and missed the shot.
There is a thing called a Breakanator in TAP where you win the lag and then every game (so you get all the breaks). I had a few of those already in the league, and almost had one again but messed it up when I let the other guy in the game when I was on the hill.
On a sad note, the captain was playing a guy who had to win 2 games to his 4, he was up 2-0 guy wins a game and he's on the hill. Then it's hill hill after another win by us. And while shooting the 8 with a carom off another ball in the side, the super heavy cueball we were using bounded off a rail and across into a corner pocket. The loss was one thing, what got me was the other player was waving his arms out in victory like he earned the win. Poor sportmanship, and I let him know it, that dope needs to learn the difference between winning a set and having it handed to him due to a bad scratch and he has the gall to celebrate the scratch by his opponent.
A win is a win, in my opinion. It doesn't sound like he was doing a backflip off the table or anything outrageous to draw a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty. There's nothing wrong with being happy that you won and there's nothing wrong with winning due to a scratch. It's part of the game. The person was racing to 2 which means he/she probably hasn't been playing pool for very long so they probably get even more excited when they win. Be happy for them, and congratulate them. It doesn't matter how they won...they won. Don't be curmudgeony. Shake their hand, congratulate them. They were obviously excited about the win and you took that away from them by being a poor loser. If there's any sportsmanship issue, it's very likely on your part for being being a poor loser.
That's my biggest complaint about league pool. No one can just shake the guy's hand and say good game. It's always something...bad rolls, unlucky...lucky...yadda yadda. Shake his hand, say good game and move on. I have no idea why that concept is impossible for most people. If you want to be a rabid *****, at least wait until you go home and complain to your dog or something.
