Now what? ( spoiler )
« on: November 16, 2008, 04:48:54 AM »
Well, after the scoring fiasco earlier this week, and the PBA's so called "executive decision" to allow Machuga to bowl, he freakin wins the tournament.

  What will the PBA say about this?  What if they had decided to leave him out of it all together?

  Will there be any ramifications, are am I just thinking crazy things again and need to check my meds?

He absolutely deserved to be on the show.  Round Robin Position Round means you bowl the person directly above or below you.  You receive an additional pins for a win therefore the pairing is important because it is now a match play situation.  Just because Sean knew he had to shoot 255 or better means nothing. Could you go out and shoot 255 at the drop of a dime to make the telecast or would you choke?  Both Machuga and Rash had valid complaints and the PBA handled it responsibly.

Totally agree whether you like Rash or not it was not his mistake it was the score keeper.  I am not a huge Rash fan myself but looks to me like the PBA made the correct decision.  

On a side note was anyone else thinking that Oneill should have taken a re rack after the first strike in the 10th?

They did leave him out because he should have been in in the first place.  Rash is the one that should have never been on the show.  If he won then I can see a discrepancy, but the POS choked and dropped an F bomb.  Hopefully they take all his earning from this week away.

Man so much Rash hate on here.  Am I the only one that likes him?

Bowlers should not be penalized for organizational/operational mistakes over which they have no control.  The PBA tried to do right by both bowlers affected and have it settled on the lanes. That's the whole point of a tournament.
