to-be-determined

So, I could not decide on a title for this week's post. My ideas were:

• Pants on Da Ground
• Boo-shit, Boo-shit, Boo-shit, or
• Monte Owns Me

Fact of the matter was, I should have conquered Monte but choked in games two and three and ended up with a tie on the night.  We'll see what this week brings.

[scores will be updated soon]

If We Ever Go to War with Mexico, Sign Me Up!

It was raining 600-series...(but I still haven't beat Darrell)

Not sure what our team's individual high game for the season is but Bryant matched Michael's 264 of the week before. Call us "butter".... cause we're on a roll.

Week 18

Michael had to beat me by 27 pins... grrrrrr

Being low man sucks. (and Darrell might have as many 600 series as I have low-man weeks!)

The Bar Has Been Raised

Continuing on the heels of last week's game of 257 [Note 1], I posted scores of 205, 191, and 235 [Note 2] en-route to a lifetime personal best series of 631. As I was able to maintain a level of consistency that has been pretty rare for me, I was able to mark in all but three frames the entire night [two of those three were the 2-10 baby split so it was a little disappointing that I did not convert at least one of them; I am pretty sure the third open was a hung 10-pin somewhere along the line].

Note 1: My 257 included an open in the first frame after missing a 10-pin spare. As another rarity, it also held up as the league's high scratch game (and also handicap game as a 284).

Note 2: I cannot say for sure but my 235 is most likely my third or fourth best lifetime score. So at worst, I have bowled two of my four highest lifetime games in the past two weeks :-)

I was able to avoid being low man for the week which was dubiously accomplished by Michael Burnett. It should be noted however that he bowled most of games 2 and 3 with an absolutely brand new ball that broke so monstrously hard in the back end with the dry lane conditions that he was rarely able to hit the right hander's pocket.

So, good news for the week. The Crew took 4 of 4 and maintained its hold on second place just four games behind Muncher's. Last week was a golden opportunity to pull even but at least we did not lose ground either.

Feast or Famine?

Well, I was gonna blog about last week but I can't because my team thinks I only blog when I do something good or when they do bad. Even though it is *my* blog and I should be able to do what I want, I am going to prove them wrong... but the title is a good hint... and if you pay attention to our recent scores you might guess too.
