A PBA bowler, and a couple luck breaks today
« on: November 21, 2004, 04:05:42 AM »
That guy Rick Lawrence got some crazy breaks!  That one shot was even high for a brooklyn, and on another shot he really should have left the 6-7-10.

Too bad for walter, he has to wait for another day.

GO angelo!

I agree I don't like his style but as far as weak, man that guy throws it down there with good level projection some good speed and really hammers that pocked pretty hard for a small guy.

I actually like the way the ball rolls on the lane!  Good and strong!  Heavy roll and hit!

Hey was that the Victory SPT moppin up there?  I could not tell at all!

One other thing I just noticed when watching the show since I taped it. After Rick beat WRW, he went to shake WRW's hand and he just turned his back to Rick and walked off. That was great sportsmanship by WRW. I think that shows how much of a poor sport he really is..

Thats why I don't like WRW and am glad he got his butt kicked!!

All 10 fall down. It may not have been pretty, but now he's won 2 more PBA Tour Titles than I have.

Hmm, after this ridiculous thread, I see something no one has mentioned.
Remember we all talk about the fact that bowling has become easy. They get mad when they can't hook the ball 20 boards,and go for style over substance, whining when they don't get a break.
Read back thru the comments. Here it is again....
"Lousy style", "lucky shot", "weak".

Boys, your mother and I insist that you stop whining or we'll have to ground you.

He has a style, he has a game, he had some luck. His, style, his game, his way to knock down 10 pins.

He got it done.

And by the way, you can't be 6-0 on TV without having a a game.

Deal with it.

jkiser01,

You are so right!!  I kind of lost the taste for bowling now after what WRW did to Rick on national TV.  I thought the PBA had high standards and sportsmanship was one of them.  Even when Brad was having it bad and was saying things, he did congradulate Rick at the end.  He even was asking for help from the audience at the end.  

We all get breaks now and then.  I even shot 2 through the nose at my league and put all ten in the pit.  It's about time we see different people on top.  I would like to see Mica bowl again.  He has an unusual style.  He lofts the ball 20' down the lane and gets the job done.

All I have to say is good job RL.  Keep it up.

Cheers

Robert

Robert,

I am glad someone else saw what an a@@ WRW was when he lost his match. I guess he thinks his opponents should just roll over and die when they are facing the legend. I agree, WRW is a great bowler but I lost alot of respect for him when he dissed a 15 year tour member that just beat him.. Its not like Lawrence is some rookie, so what if he carried a couple of lucky shots. Thats just part of the game and WRW should know that with 40 titles..

Once again, congrats to Rick Lawrence on your 2nd PBA title!!

At first I thought WRW refused to shake Rick's hand also.
In a rerun it showed WRW shaking his hand at the end of
the match. He did ignore him later but he did shake
hands. My biggest surprise was how bad Angelo bowled. He
had a strike on the left lane and then tried a different
line two frames in row that resulted in splits. Perhaps
he felt the stike he got when he swung the ball out to
about the three board was lucky and that is why he changed
lines.

allengrace62,

I watched it twice and didn't see that.. If he did shake his hand earlier, I stand corrected, but he still dissed him at the end.

I know I saw that and it was horrible sportsmanship..

I look at it this way as far as sportsmanship and PBA players not shaking hands or congratulating each other as they walk off the lanes.  

I feel most of them are down right killer mentality and you better have it or forget it.  I believe off the lanes most of them say 95% are the best of friends.  In the heat of the moment so what if they don't give the other player the winner a handshake.  They're gathering their stuff between TV commercials and getting off the lanes so the next guy can come on.  

IMO....they are ticked at themselves for not executing the shots not ticked off at the other guy.  I'll bet after the show was done WRW Jr. shook his hand and said job well done.  I'd bet on that.  Rick Lawrence is not some rookie.  

These guys are a bigger family than most of you might think.

Congrats to Rick. He bowled in one of the pro am's last year in Omaha with my son. He had a near new Ebonite V-2 that was used very little & started to crack in the bridge. He signed it & gave it to my son & told him a good ball driller could plug & fix this for him very easily.  He & his wife are just a plain class act.  Very sincere, very good, very nice people.  The type of people the world needs more of.
