Mosconi Cup Madness

[Gerry Williams]

Yes. He played poor position to the 9. It wasn't easy though.

Didn't SVB miss a 9 ball too, and leave it over the pocket?

At the end of the day the match could be 3-2 or 4-1 for the Americans if they got a couple rolls. Rodney was on here a few weeks back wanting to put up 10k with D_Lewis yet bailed on that.. You know the Euros would be good when Toasty doesn't have a spot, I don't blame Rodney for changing his mind. Anyways if Rodney and Hatch don't step up it's going to be over tomorrow.

Boy what a first day !!!! ............I am watching " The Hustler " and " The color of money " so I can get psyched up for today's matches. i am hoping today our players will shine. I've dedicated 4 days to this Mosconi Cup and I hope it's not all in vain.....GO USA----GO USA.....GO USA !!!!!!!!! I hope we can stay close until the round of singles. WE NEED TO COME FIRING OUT OF THE GATE TODAY AND MAYBE THE ROLLS WILL GO OUR WAY ---, WIN A FEW AND GET THE MOMENTUM FOR OUR SIDE

Shane was up 4-3 and lost because Mika got a lucky kick to make a ball in then made the 9 on the break.

I've seen MANY kicks to in for the Europeans that also ended up with great position for the next ball that enabled them to win several games they should not have won.

Sorry to let you in on this but Shane lost because of his own mistakes. He could've sealed the deal plenty of times. Sure, Mika got a lucky roll with that 9 but he didnt win that game, Shane lost it.

This is just another one of the many comments trying to justify whats so obvious - the fact that americans looked like amateurs with their misses, bad plays and an overall bad attitude

the 9 ball shouldn't count on the break in my opinion.

 

[ChicagoJoe]

rolls and table layouts were definitely one sided yesterday. 5-0 is going to be tough to overcome.

Michaela was very sweet and afterwards we chatted for awhile about the MC, keeping Earl in line, and The Crucible. Loved it.

Lou, GREAT photo. Thanks for sharing. You both look great in your Sunday's best.

Lou, don't wait to come home to write your trip report. Share a few nuggets for the inquiring minds back home, will you?

Gotcha covered JAM (if I don't go into an alcohol fueled coma in the next 12 hours).
