It's Alive!... It's Alive!!!! ~quote from Dr. Frankenstein
After a long hibernation, our Brew Crew fourth-man showed signs of life. As if saving pins for a winter slumber, spring finally came as Bryant Clark found his smooth-breaking power ball and flirted with a 700 series. In fact, except for 7-10 split late in the third game, Bryant would have finished without an open frame in all three games!
The Brew Crew took all four games again this week but needed the stellar performance of the Brew Crew youngster to offset the handicap pins given up to our friendly rival "Forest View". Particularly in the first and second games where the Crew won by a "mere" 43 and 34 pins, respectively. Actually, on the night, the Crew bowled well and consistently as everyone met their average. However, Forest View would not lay down easily as they were led (at least in spirit) by mad man Darryl Messer.
So... I think I am the only one without a 600 series this year. Even though I have only bowled one other in my life.... maybe next week is the week! Stay tuned... same bat time... same bat blog.

Battle Royale : The Aftermath
The Brew Crew took all four games this week against team "5 Star"...
And finally, Bryant was inspired to not be the low man on the totem pole this week. After a slow start where he was six pins behind me, Bryant bet $1 he could finish with a higher series. Smelling easy money I took the bet. After a strong strike-pair combination in the first two frames, the engine fell out along with the brakes, tires, and about every other part of the car as I finished with an abysmal, hopefully team season low game of 113. (oh... wait... Bryant had a 93 earlier this year... whew... I will not be the lowest game!)

Battle Royale : Round 1
I may have a future in sports predictions.... though the Brew Crew did not sweep our series this week, we did take 3 of 4 to pull ourselves out of the gutter to almost .500 while the season is still young.
Game 1 was definitely the highlight this week as 4 of our 5 bowlers broke 180 to win by 195 total pins. Darrell Erhart led the way with another 200 game (213) as it looked like he was on his way to the seasons first 600 series.
Game2 was more closely fought. Eerily similar to last season's championship winning game, it came down to the final man on each team but Brew Crew finished 2 pins up. Michael Burnett picked up the slack this game posting a roaring 222 on his quest for the team's first 600 series.
Game 3 was a pot-pouri of good luck, back luck that finished with the Brew Crew down 10 pins for our only loss of the night. Lyle Morris of the Bad Men threw a knockout blow as he came out of the gate with 5-straight strikes and finished with a 2xx. However, the silver lining for the Brew Crew was Michael Burnett winning the first 600 "pin" of the season as his third game finished with a 193 for a 605 series.
We'll be there next week to continue our quest for a repeat. Don't turn that dial!
p.s. Even though Bryant bowled his average all three games (and I did not), my other prediction also came true. He might have a chance this week, but... I wouldn't bet on it ;-)

Let the Games Begin!
Well, Tuesday August 25th marked the beginning of the 2010 season as the Brew Crew look to defend their 2009 Ivy League Championship. Team members were anxious to get this season underway as the Ivy League returned with a 9-team lineup that included a new team but dropped a team from last season.
Unfortunately, the 'Crew' got out to a less than stellar beginning. The lanes seemed atypically slick and oily and scores were anything but consistent. Even a last-minute lineup change could not appease the bowling gods that night as they seemingly threw all they had at Bryant Clark when he started Game 2 with six consecutive splits and two more before the game was finished.
The biggest bright spot on the evening was cleanup man Darrell Erhart as he needed just a 159 to come out of the gates with a 600-series. Despite throwing the first two games with nothing less than a 9-count, Game 3 ended with a 146 as the gods saw fit to turn several pocket hits into hanging tens and splits.
But, we are not daunted. The 'Crew' will return next week with an established average and I am predicting a 4-game sweep. You can keep us down, but not out.
p.s. (I will also have a higher series than Bryant)

Kansas State Tourney '09
The Brew Crew... (more to be added here...)
August 26, 2009
I have not yet written much about our State trip but after last night's season opener, the guys wanted to remind Michael via this blog that we did not make it past the first round of the (whatever you call it) when he failed to throw at least an 8 count on the first ball. He has thus been demoted to second-man as a motivational move by the team captain.
