So … Luna Rossa smoked BMW Oracle to win the best-of-9 series, 5-1, sending the American team home and guaranteeing that for the first time in 24 years, there will be no American team in the finals… Congratulazioni Luna Rossa, la squadra migliore vinta!

  1. As I said over at Mike’s…that pic IS pretty funny! But…that said… here’s a lil bit of dialog from “The B-58″…er…The Hustler:

    Fast Eddie: You know, I got a hunch, fat man. I got a hunch it’s me from here on in. One ball, corner pocket. I mean, that ever happen to you? You know, all of a sudden you feel like you can’t miss? ‘Cause I dreamed about this game, fat man. I dreamed about this game every night on the road. Five ball. You know, this is my table, man. I own it.

    :mrgreen:

  2. Hmm, you do realize the ultimate outcome of that match between Eddie and Fats… 😎

    Yup…I do indeed, SJS. But really now…who would you rather be? Paul Newman? Or Jackie Gleason? 😆

  7. … George C. Scott… 8)

    …wasn’t an option. But, not a bad choice, even if he DID play a famous Grunt. 😉

    You didn’t ask, but I wouldn’t mind being Jimmy Stewart. Or someone like him. 😎

  8. Oh, but it is:

    The Hustler (1961)
    Cast (in credits order)
    Paul Newman … Eddie Felson
    Jackie Gleason … Minnesota Fats
    Piper Laurie … Sarah Packard
    George C. Scott … Bert Gordon
    Quotes:
    Bert Gordon: I don’t think there’s a pool player alive shoots better pool than I saw you shoot the other night at Ames. You got talent.
    Fast Eddie: So I got talent. So what beat me?
    Bert Gordon: Character.
