Striking Out
CellarDweller:
Ahhhh.....the feeling of success is soooo nice!
;D :laugh:
Last night was not a spectacular night for me. Out of the three games, only 1 was above average, the other two were below.
However, as a team we were great! Out of the three games, we won two, and took wood! ;D For the non bowlers out there, wood refers to pins. If a team "takes wood" it means they beat the other team by knocking over the most pins over all three games.
Last season our team finished is 2nd to LAST place. :laugh: This year, we're currently in 4th. :o ;D
Next week it is my team's week to supply the music, I'm thinking a night of One Hit Wonders. And no, Nena will not be in the rotation. I did a theme last season called "Cover Me" where I played an original song, followed immediately by a cover version, so "99 Luftballons" was already on that set list.
Front-Ranger:
Yay! (I wood say awesome but I'm trying to wean myself off that one)

In 5 years hubby and I will turn 50, and we're gonna have a big party. Can you please come over and be responsible for the music? I mean, since I asked so early.... And you're even allowed to play Nena (some!).

Well I wasn't quite sure what to expect last night.
The week prior, my team lost 1 of the three games, and we lost wood, so we only got 4 out of a possible 7 points. I thought for sure we'd fall out of the top 10, but when we got the standings last night, we were in 8th place.
Then I saw we were bowling one of the higher ranked teams, and I thought we were toast! However, it turned out quite the opposite.
With our first game, I bowled my average, and Pete and Frank bowled above their averages. We beat the other team by 19 pins.
With the second game, Pete was on fire. He bowled 5 strikes in a row, and ended up with a score of 202, his first 200 game in a long time. Frank was again above average, and I bowled a 145, 25 pins above my average. Pete's 202 game psyched out the other team, and they lost focus, and we beat them by 62 pins.
With the third game, both Pete & Frank were above average again, I was below, but not by much (I 'under' bowled by 11 pins) but because they had lost the first two games, the other team was disheartened, and underperformed. Had they fought back hard, they could've won because the third game was not my team's best, and it ended up being closer than the first, we won by only 9 pins.
When everything was totaled up, we got all 7 points, winning the three games and getting total wood, beating them by 90 pins in total.
;D

Good morning!
;D
Bowling was a good time last night. I wore the crown hat that I picked up at Party City for my birthday, and had a few laughs. Two of my friends gave me a Visa gift card as well, so that was great.
;D
Ah, yes, actual bowling. We bowled a team that was pretty evenly matched against us with scores. In fact, they had a higher handicap than we had, so it made it a little more difficult for us to win. Our first game we beat them by 40 pins, our second game we beat them by 20 pins, and the last game one of players from the other team got lucky and scored big. I did really well the last game too (150) but my team lost by only 4 pins. Over all we beat them by 56 pins total.
Out of the possible 7 points we got 5.
;D
Before last night's game we were in 6th place in the league. I'm not sure what our placements are now.
