    lucky for you!

    I've always been the anchor person. So my team puts the pressure on me, and then they stick it to me when I don't come through.

    wow.
    i certainly think 90% of them are now covered.
    minus the occasional phrases people come up with.
    such as "hambone" which im sure EVERYONE is familiar with if they have watched PBA.

    Red face Help?!?

    Ok I have a silly question.....

    What exactly is the difference between "stroker" "tweener" and "cranker"? I think I know...and I *think* I'm a stroker...but I just want to be sure!

    Not to mention, a newbie may not know either and I didn't see it in the list!

    strokers are your down and in players, tweeners are in between your strokers and crankers, which crankers are the ones who throw the big hook. to put it simply.
