Last week i found it entertaining to see Walter Ray grind it out and get a break by Lonnie throwing a wash out.  This one hurts man, that is just bad luck.  Specially against PDW.  Better luck next week Lonnie.

PS - Why does PDW where shades i think that they are rediculous.

BowlingKids, I was doing the same thing ROFL
My fiance was looking at me like I was crazy.
He did it and I started crying laughing, then he wraps the headpin around the 10.

Now Petey wins by Tommy leaving a solid 10.

What a telecast, very entertaining

watching that makes me want to cry. do you realize what he thinks about every 10th frame he will bowl in his career? that's got to be a terrible feeling.

You really have to wonder what goes through this guy's mind.  When you need 9 or a spare, you don't play bumper ball from the deep inside line.  You pick up that mild-reacting ball you started with, and pipe it up 2nd arrow.

I feel bad for the guy, but sheesh...

i think it's more bad execusion than choking. How many of you would pee your pants in that situation? i'd say 95%!!!Give Lonnie credit, Making TV for 2 weeks in a row is quite a feet in itself!!!

Congrats on title #30 PDW!!!!!!!!!

Um, yeah.  That is the point.  I trust you've never bowled on TV under the excessive glare of television lighting.  The glasses bring the glare down to manageable levels again.

As for Lonnie's back-to-back 10th frame issues, I won't say that I wouldn't have similar issues under the same circumstances.  But I think the name Lonnie "Washout" Walichoke might end up sticking.

I stated it before in another post that leaving that same washout will probably be called "Leaving the Lonnie"  Just like throwing a gutterball is labeled "I just pulled a Del" in reference to Del Ballard throwing a gutterball in the tenth frame.

Before someone gets on here and gives me any crap over this because I am not a pro bowler.  If I was a pro bowler and I left that stuff people would start saying that "I threw the Wong shot" since Wong is my last name.  Trust me I am no pro but I have heard that time and time again so people should get over it.  The pro's have thick skin.  They have to be to get to that level.

B-Car,

You can comment negatively all you want, but when you start putting labels on people like the above, all you are doing is showing a childish, schoolyard mentality. I also say he choked, and that is as negative as you can get, but I am not going to start naming him that and neither should anyone else.

Sorry, but a fan having negative thoughts and words for a certain bowler or bowlers is good for the game, and not wrong at all. If you consider it immature, then go ahead, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Out to lunch?  Is that a technical bowling term?  What does it mean?

I don't know what he had in his bag, out to lunch or otherwise, so it would be hard to say.  Something mild, stay behind it, no big side turn.

We watched him do it in his first match against Shafer.  It was probably a little late to be throwing a Raging Inferno up 10, but staying straight behind any ball would have been better than snapping around the side which, as Randy Pedersen has explained on numerous occasions, creates a strong backend reaction.

Strong backend reaction is not what Lonnie needed in that situation, IMHO.  I think it was more of a brain fart than a physical choke.
