WPBA - Our local girl beat Jeanette Lee!

[Snorks]

I just want to post a big CONGRATULATIONS to our local girl Marina Linguerri. Marina is an 18 year old that has been playing at our pool hall for a few years now. She beat Jeanette Lee in her first ever match at the professional level 9-8!

Way to go Marina!


From the tournament's website......

Round 3
The biggest surprise of the tournament came out of round 3. In her first WPBA Classic event Marina Linguerri had to be excited to draw the famous Jeanette Lee as her first professional match. With little prospect for a win, Marina threw everything she had at Jeanette and just like the little train that could made it to the top of the hill. The match stood at hill-hill with Marina looking hard at a combo shot on the 9 using the two ball, she went for it and hit the shot perfectly. Not a bad way to start your first WPBA event.

When you have nothing to loose you have EVERYTHING TO WIN Thats why we keep coming back to play again, again and again - there is nothing like the feeling of winning.

God bless this girl. It must be the thrill of her lifetime. I wouldn't for a minute diminish her accomplishment in any way.

To you two that knocked her looks...I'm sure your both prizes for any woman...NOT. Johnnyt

That Mizerak played OK but he was fat.
That Larry Johnsom played pretty good but he was short.
That Machine Gun Guy was bald.
That Cornbread was an ugly looking scruffy dude.

Our society has progressed to the point where women are allowed to compete in games of skill, but they are still judged on their looks. Everything is a beauty contest. I don't know the playing level of anyone who wanted to comment on how these women look, so I'll refrain from making judgments about what they would be thinking about their looks while the "girls" were running out all over them.

That being said, I think I'll go downstairs and see if Sharapova has a new short tennis outfit on for Wimbleton.

For everyone out there that enjoys attacking a young girl who has been working 5 or 6 days a week to get her game up to the level it is and belittling her as you have because she isn't a Vegas Showgirl smarten the F&%k up! Since when has great pool been equated to looks? Sumo looking? You go tell Danny B a crass comment about size and see how that goes over! Or Alain Martel or Min. Fats! The pool world is full of a variety of sizes and shapes. For those of you who keep yourselves locked in a gym to look good think that every minute you are in there, someone else is out here playing away just waiting for a shot to smoke your a_s_s on a table!

I have been with this forum for only a short while and have seen some stupid comments about a variety of things...this one is right up there!

Everyone else that has an IQ over their shoe size will recognize and respect the hard work and dedication it takes just to get there. In the last year she also represented Canada at the World Juniors in Australia. It takes tons of dedication and family support to get there at such a young age. I am sure her family truly appreciates the manner in which you have chosen to appraise her talents.

Thanks on behalf of my friend Marina to all of you with genuine interest in the game that respect her by wishing her,as we all do here, the best in this her FIRST pro event and hope she continues to play her best to allow her to fully enjoy the experience of a lifetime.

The rest...go stare in the mirror at a moron!

I don't know why everybody raves about thet Reyes guy. I've seen him and he looks a little dumpy to me. Scruffy looking, a little overweight and not to well dressed in my estimation. I think he should give all the trophies and cash back and lets get a better looking "champion".

I can't get over how some people are so immature. Who the f**k cares how she looks, this is a game of skill and not a stupid beauty pagent. Marina is a talented young girl and I wish her all the best.

go get em Marina!!!!!!

I agree, just spending a few hours on this site will make you realize that there are lots of people on here that are fairly low class. Let me explain. First off I am not fond of some of the avatars demeaning women, and second I am sure as hell not as fond as some people bashing a talented young woman who could, as said before prob. kick your as s in a game of pool. No offence here people, but please.... get some class.

In jest.

go get em Marina!!!!!!

Everybody chill. I think someone was making "a funny" and everybody took it to another level. Congrats on playing a great match, Marina.

 

[Kyzyl]

Congradulations to Marina!!! Good luck in future matches!

JIGS,
I was wondering if you played at the women's pro event at the Vegas BCA tournament. SJM and I were sitting with Luc Salvas (who was sweating the match)? He spoke very highly of your game. Good luck if that was you; and welcome to AZB.

Your point is well taken. Congratulations to Marina; that is QUITE an accomplishment on a tour where many players are intimidated to some degree by the more successful players.
