Saturday: Semifinals of 2013 U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship
- Thread starter JAM
- Start date
Jayson misses. Lee Van at the table. Slices the 2 in the side like it had eyes. Straight in on the 3. Piece of cake. Looks good for the run-out. Going for the 6, straight in, and pockets it. Easy 7 in the side. 8 in the corner, and 9 in the same corner.
Lee Van on the board, 1-1. Crowd applause and cheers.

Jim Wych and Danny D. discussing the problems associated with players having to rack their own balls in a match, how it is tiring, hurts their backs. They believe in high-profile matches like this, we should have neutral rackers.
Van-Van having trouble getting the balls tights right now. He's done it over and over. Can't get it right.

Ken Shuman, the ref, comes over and tries to smooth the cloth to help Van-Van rack.
Danny D. thinks they should iron the cloth and flatten it.
They discussed the Sardo rack and what good friends Lou and Carmine Sardo are to many.
Van-Van breaks, scratches. Jayson to the table.

Jayson and Van-Van have competed four times together, and they are tied as far as who wins, so this is kind of a tie-breaker.
Jayson running out like water, but he draws his rock on the 5-ball half the table and gets snookered behind the 9-ball for the 6 in the corner.

Really enjoying the play by play! Thanks JAM.
He plays a safety, leaves Lee Van long and dirty. Lee responds with another safety. Jayson at the table.
Jayson is going to jump the 9 ball and hopes to pocket the 6 in the corner. He misses. Tosses his jumpcue to the floor in disgust.
Lee-Van has a long shot on the 6, but it's make-able.

My pleasure.
7 ball goes in the corner, and Lee Van gets perfect on the 9 in the corner pocket.
Lee Van 2, Jayson 1.
Lee Van fires at the 1 ball. It hits the back of the pocket and misses horribly.
Jayson tries to carom the 1 ball into the 9, but he made the 1 ball instead. The crowd cheers at the slopshot on the 1.
Now he's looking at the 2, with no shot. He's eyeing it up and hope to make a combo on the 2-7 in the corner pocket.
He missed.
Lee-Van back at the table. He's goign for a carom on the 2-9, and he makes it. 3 to 1.
Lee-Van immediatley slides that bead over after sinking the 9-ball, and the crowd laughs.

I'm hearing a conversation that Ken said Barry was stalling paying him. He also said that he got screwed for $200 by Barry.
The mics are on, boys. We're hearing all of it.
Ken is ecstatic that he got paid cash and doesn't have to wait for a check to clear.
Yesterday Danny was telling a story about Mosconi as he was coming into the booth. It sounded pretty derogatory but then he said he would tell his listener later when folks at home couldn't hear him. Guess what, Danny? Too late. Lol
I've heard a lot of interesting stuff when commentators don't know the mics are turned on.
