Mike DuChaine

You missed the bus.

You're way late Paul, Dechaine has been on the scene for awhile now..

:grin:

no reason to berate a guy who hasn't heard of mike dechaine. he's a great player, probably one of the best breakers and runs out behind his break. definitely a top 5 american player and i've heard this and that about his attitude but whatever he's a treat to watch play. hope to see more great things from him in the future and hopefully more players and fans get to see him play...
 
I can understand what the OP is saying, He did just appear from thin air but that was a long time ago. There was more than a fair share of people that didn't even really know who he was untill the Mosconi cup.
 
If you read this forum all the time how is it that you're never heard of Mike before?? Just seems very odd to me :confused:
 
My 12 yr old knows who Mike is. He played with him yesterday in RI actually.

I think most replies were pretty much joking, Paul is taking the responses a bit seriously.

It's like someone posting "who is this swimmer guy in the Olympics this year, Phlemps or something, where did he come from?". I figure once you make the Mosconi Cup team and win a TAR match your days of hiding are over.
 
Spend a decade on this forum and what do you get? Bunch of wiseacres who think they're smart and probably think they can play a lick. You're all invited to my table anytime you like. Bring cabbage -- lots of it.

I was hoping for a good discussion of a young player who caught me unaware. Instead, I'm made aware of the general disposition on this forum. What a sewer, and go ahead Wilson, kick me off for saying so. Don't care anymore.

Will a satchel of cash work? :killingme:
 
Anyone who thinks Paul doesn't deserve all the sh*t he is getting needs to spend 5 minutes reading some of his prior posts in other threads.

Ever notice how the people who can actually play and gamble don't need to challenge people all the time but the worthless nits are the ones always wanting to settle it on the pool table but never get there?
 
Wow

I can't believe the people that just set in waiting to jump on someone who made a mistake or may not be as up to date as they are .These guys are hating hard today ,maybe it's the heat ......I dunno .:rolleyes:

You gotta understand, it's the source that's inspiring these responses. If Joe Blow from Idaho came on and posted, there would likely be a few chuckles, and such. But Paul is a regular here, a long time member, and one who provokes reaction regularly. (I have no personal issue with Paul, one way or another.). This is why you are seeing the reaction here in this thread. Go read some of his posting history, if you want to understand this background a bit better, it will be rather illuminating. :-)

I do find it kind of humorous, as there has been an awful lot of Mike Dechaine talk here over the last 18-20 months. I mean, he was on the Mosconi Cup team....and the TAR match with Hatch was pretty big news, for lots of reasons, good and not so good...

We gotta have something to stir stuff up occasionally, I suppose.
