Pool Cue News and Review

Wow… I could’ve picked ‘em better by flipping a coin or throwing darts. In the early match, Jeremy Jones took down Ronnie Wiseman in one of the sloppiest matches that will ever be televised. ESPN is going to have a real challenge on their hands trying to make this watchable, because it was some serious bush league action going on.

The ladies performed quite a bit better than the men, with Xiao Ting Pan taking down Ga Young Kim. XTP played some good pool, but ultimately GYK really gave this one away with a combination of a few key misses and one horrible roll. It’ll be interesting when the Nielsen ratings come out, because the Jasmin/GYK and Brit-Anna/XTP matches were far superior in watchability. I’m not even gonna talk about the men’s matches, since the only one that was even remotely entertaining was the Archer match. The two Jones matches made me want to claw my eyes out and run for the hills screaming.
