O to excuse......
Damn this tip, this cloth, this table, these pockets, these shoes, these pants, these balls, these, this, these, that, this! It’s always something isn't it? I say this because I'm as guilty as they come for ever missing a ball or playing bad to find fault in a outside source.
It’s never me. If I think it’s me it’s because of something else. I didn't eat good, ate too much, tired from lack of sleep, slept too much. It goes on and on with a lot of players. I really don't do this all the time but when I do I think about it later. What is my reason for a constant blame on an outside element? Why can't I just miss a ball and let it go? I do sometimes! There are times where I miss and sit down and wait for my next chance to redeem my last. There are other times where if its not one thing it’s another. Everyone should be quite and not move until I complete my shooting. Makes me feel and even look at times I’m sure to be insane.
The question is why do we (I) do it? I’d like to say it’s because I want to keep my confidence up! Keep myself feeling like I’m playing well and it takes a freak of nature to cause me to miss a ball. Maybe it’s the fear of acknowledging failure? Who wants to take their seat knowing that they dogged one? Then there’s just flat out trying to make your backer feel better. I’ve seen stake horse’s sweat games as if their life depended on it. They could use a little relief from a missed ball sometimes.
Is it good or bad to do this? It sure doesn’t look like a mentally healthy player when he’s having a melt down (just a little exaggerated but “melt down” isn’t far off) because of a waitress flagging them on a shot. When you think of it however, isn’t it nice to have an excuse? What easier way to make mistakes than to have excuses for making them? It’s a lot easier to get over it when they occur. People will agree “He’d a made that ball if that guy would have sat still.” Look at the players that don’t seem to ever get bothered. Ralph Souquet comes to mind. I’ve seen him play with no emotion but if he looks a tab flustered it is immediately pointed out. Earl can argue with a heckler and it’s fairly normal.
I guess it comes down to playing with emotion or not. Some players can, were other’s can not. I guess it is just another add to the complexity of this game. Some have to vent in any way available and others just close it up or forget it all together.
Just a thought.
