I know I have said things without really thinking about how it sounded. As I have gotten older I have became better at thinking before I speak.<br />Asking a friend of mine if she was pregnant when she had just put on a few pounds taught me a valuable lesson!Chrishttp://crazyaboutpool.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619322892209358563.post-72578628664916906672011-07-12T14:27:02.127-05:002011-07-12T14:27:02.127-05:00I am so glad you wrote this!

It helps explain why I got upset last Thursday night at league. <br />The other team put up a new guy on their roster, I didn't know him well but I knew that he was much better than me. When I asked what the race was going to be I was told it was an equal race. In the same breath, my team captain (who is also the LO) looked at his rating and said "oh they brought him in as a 60, I would have brought him in as a 70!" (this would have been like telling somebody in APA that they were about to play is a 5 but really should have been a 7!)I know that ratings shouldn't be a major concern, but it really bothered me throughout the entire match and I didn't win a single game. <br /><br />One of the things that I couldn't stop thinking about during the entire match is that he let the team under-rate this guy and he had no say in it at all. If he had not said anything at all before our match, I probably could have had a chance to beat the guy because he wasn't really playing that well!Becky Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377878838225705703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619322892209358563.post-88929362054249879072011-07-12T12:07:48.524-05:002011-07-12T12:07:48.524-05:00Ugh, frustrating, Spanks!

I agree I wouldn't really want to hear that i am not supposed to win right before play. <br /><br />For some reason times have changed and people don't MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS anymore. People from the stands will say things loud enough for the players to hear. After a bad shot or the match is over they will say things like "I Would of hit that like this" or "I would never take that shot". This is usually coming form people that 1) you can give weight to, or 2) wont bet that water is wet.spankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296714674888079272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619322892209358563.post-24690424478080954652011-07-12T10:27:04.747-05:002011-07-12T10:27:04.747-05:00Some men are just brutally honest.
