Thanksgiving my @$$

So, as usual I am posting about last week's results as I leave to bowl this week. Other than my usual procrastination, this week's post is less than fun since I effectively humiliated myself last week by adding another low-man "honor" to my season. What made it even worse was that I finished the first game as HIGH-MAN! I didn't even see it coming.

Oh well... I gotta get going to erase that dismal performance but I am sure the guys wanted to read something if they bother to check.

I will update scores later but here is what I know off the top of my head...

November... A Month for Thanksgiving

Well, I missed a week of blogging so I hope that this post does not break a good streak but does break a bad one. The Crew has successfully taken 7 of 8 games in the last two weeks as they were apparently up to my challenge; unfortunately, our team captain has taken it in the shins as he has now posted three straight weeks as "low man" (personally, I've finished smack dab in the middle both weeks).

We go against the blind next week so that ought to be as exciting as watching paint dry. However, we have a history of dropping one to ourselves so that is going to come to an END!

p.s. To Bryant... You were low man the very first week, not me. In fact, I was second on the night behind Darrell. And, you were not high man three weeks in a row... but still two out of three, so good job on that.

Week 11                             LM

We're Back

(Week 9)
Well, technically it was still October but it felt like a whole new month. The Crew finally got their head.... above water and could breathe a little easier as we took three out of four in a hard fought night.

Ok... to challenge the slackers, er, I mean my team mates: I currently have a commanding lead in the not-so-desirable statistic of "weekly low man". My goal is to not be the season leader in that category despite having the current lowest average. Good luck!

An October to Forget

(Week 8)

Um... that prediction did not turn out well at ALL. Well, I was right about the sweep. Except it was US who got swept. Weeks like this make us grumpy! (Should we be impressed with how consistent our team score was? probably not)

Monte C.    147  157  179     483

Spring forward, FALL back...

I'm really slacking on the blog... probably because of our overall dismal performance (particularly mine).  However, I do predict a win this week... oh, what the heck... how about a sweep?!

Here are last week's results:

Monte C.    136  191  226     553
Michael B.  148  161  166     475
