Mosconi Cup team change.

There seems to be a lot of AZers who would like to see Earl on the team.
I believe we have a vote on the wild cards as in earlier years.

Hatch shows up on AZ long enuff to beg (solicit) for votes every year and disappears shortly there after.

Lets change that this year if we can and give Earl as much support as possible.

If JA and Putman quit the team, who cares. I'm not overly impressed with either of them this year, so I won't lose any sleep over it.
Putman seems to be JA's lap dog as of late.

Is Earl really still good enough? Isnt there an amazing American talent that should join the team this year?

Very curious about the two European wildcards. It must be at least one Dutchie. Should that be van de Berg or See? Despite Huidji See's amazing year I think that van den Berg has a slight edge to him.. Or both of them :)
 
I love the Mosconi Cup and know that the 2011 version will be exicting.

However, I am tired of hearing the matter of who will make the teams beaten to death in the US Open commentary booth.

For the benefit of the commentators, I'll point out that winning the US Open is the motivation for today's competitors, not getting onto the Mosconi Cup team.

I completely agree. I understand that the Mosconi cup has turned into a very important event for the players. I think that they do get a payday for making the team along with the chance to represent their continent.

But the constant chatter in all the commentary about it gets old. Also if there is a team Euro then why isn't there a team Americas which includes Mexico and Canada instead of just the USA?

Good point, maybe it will happen in time. Also, JA made a shout out about the implications and importance of the US Open and the Cup, I would be amazed if he didn't go cept for health reasons.

+1, Blue Hog ridr...

I'd like to see Earl on the team. I'd be surprised if Archer and Putnam pass up a payday because they "don't wanna play with Earl". And on the outside chance that Archer and Putnam DID decide to bow out of the Mosconi team (if they are selected), I'm sure there are at least one or two players that would be willing to take thier vacated spots :thumbup:.

Geez, maybe Archer and Putnam can solicit votes for thier stance with the ABP account...
 
The OP's list is wrong. Archer and Putman refused to go if Earl was going to be on the team. So either Earl's not on it or the two I just mentioned will turn down $7500-$15000 + exspenses. Right, when pigs can fly. Johnnyt

PS:And why wouldn't everyone be talking about who will make the Mosconi Cup Team. There were a bunch of players that were/are in the hunt to make the team. The US Open is the last points tournament before the cup. It's like saying don't talk about what teams will make the play-offs during the regular season of baseball, football, basketball, ect.

That will never happen , they will play, I hope Earl does make it so they they have to show what they are really all about, the MONEY
 
re:

imo the mosconi cup is not the mosconi cup without earl strickland, since he has been absent, it has been boring...

no dis respect to any other players, but earl is entertainment with a capital E!
