Good Day for the PBA
« on: January 24, 2010, 04:42:34 AM »
Well is this is a Hsitoric day for the PBA. They will be in the news for awhile now with this show.

Congrats Kelly for winning.

BTW Barnes did NOT choke today! Only missed the pocket once maybe twice only has a double to show for it? Bad carry not choking.

Lets face it. She opened a can of whoop (you know what) on the boys. Congrats to Kelly on this historic win.

Major congrats to Kelly! She bowled incredibly well, always close to the pocket on all shots. That Mission seemed to float out there and never turned early. Great choice of ball.

Did it seem like Mika's and Barnes' worst enemy was their higher ball speed?
Kelly had plenty of carry on several light shots with her medium ball speed.

PLUS she made all her spares. I think I saw her more nervous on many TV shows, bowling against the women than she was today against the men.

This is the first time I can remember a bowling story being a headline on the front page of espn.com.  It's a good start.

Hopefully the ends will justify the means.  Now that the PBA has their first female winner, it will open the door for all the women to become full members of the PBA and compete on an even field.

 Kelly's proven they can compete, and win, straight up and head-to-head with the male prefessionals, so why not?

 Do away with the gimmicky womens series and let them enter just like every other PBA member.

 Congratulations Kelly on some really great bowling all week, and congratulations on your first PBA tour victory. May there be more to follow for both you and any others that decide to come through the door that you BLASTED open today .

 P.S. No, Barnes did not choke today, he got his behind handed to him by someone who played the lanes better, matched up better, and performed better.

 I still wouldn't want to be him though. He already had the reputation of being a "choke artist", now he will also be history's footnote as the runner-up to the first female champion. It's amazing how much "bad karma" seems to follow this guy around.

This is why bowling is laughed at.  This would never happen in any other sport.

I guess drag racing is not a sport and you have never heard of Shirley Muldowny. I congratulate Kelly, she is a class act.

I know this is a bowling forum,but to add to the "women against men" thing,ever heard of a "little girl" by the name of Danica Patrick?? She's done quite well against the boys in her field as I recall.....
