    No surprise, Lon McEachern did a good job at the Summer Shootout. As long as it wasn't Gary Thorne again, he was god awful. I will miss Rob Stone. I know a lot of people didn't like him, but he had fun with it.

    I didn't like Rob, especially when he would scream, "Hambone!" I do admit that I like his use of "Yahtzee", "Six Pack", and ,giving my age away, "Bo Derek".

    I didn't have an issue with Rob or the "hambone". Randy Peterson I'm still on the fence about. I think maybe the network could use Jackie Bowling or whoever else they have around, do some interviews off-lane with the bowlers, families, etc. Something, anything to make the sport appeal to more people.

    I really like Randy Pederson. I don't know what "color commentator" means since I don't watch sports but it seems like they might have hired him to be the guy that knows the sport front to back, but he has a good personality.

    Serious I would like to see that. I got my sisters into bowling showing how Missy Parkin and Catherine Dorin-Ballard (I think thats how those are spelled) tear it up in the strike elimination segment.
    High game: 232/High series 587. Arsenal: Hammer Backlash, Tzone Catchphrase: Those pins just got smoked (followed by the double hand pistols) Catchphrase performed rate: 0%
    Faceplants on alley: 2 Reason for signature: everyone here has really fancy ones.
