Another night of bowling down. ;D
My team did well last night, on a personal level, it was more of the same for me, with a pattern that seems to have set in. I'll have one great game, one game on average, and one game below average. Last night was no exception. My first game was 158. My average is about 120, so that was 38 pins above average. My second game was just above average (125) and my last game was 97. >:( Ending up with 23 pins below average almost wiped out my 38 pins above average game, so that sucks.
On the plus side, my two teammates bowled really well. Frank had a high of 178, and Pete had a 212. At the end of the night we had won all three games, and taken all 7 points.
The week of 1/8 we were in 6th place in the league (out of about 20 teams), and the week of 1/15 we were still 6th place. I'm hoping we can move up a space or two and be in the top 5 teams. This is a real improvement given that last season, we were second to last place.
:laugh:

Hello everyone!
Bowling was really a mixed bag last night. There's no other way to describe it. ::)
It's like everyone decided to be awful, all at once. :laugh:
The lanes will announce when someone gets over 200 as a score, we have more than a few of those each Tuesday, but last night we barely had any announcement. I'm not sure what was happening, but whatever it was, was happening to everyone. Even the best bowlers on the league were missing shots, getting splits, it was very odd.
Our first game was a tie. Ties generally don't happen in bowling, but somehow, we managed it. :laugh: The second game we lost by 7 pins >:( and the third game we won by 33 pins. It was a very close match, in the end we took one game, 1/2 of one game, and wood, so out of 7 points, we got 4.

Blame it on the full moon. I always do!

The feeling of success turns to failure so quickly!
:laugh:
My team started off great last night, we won the first game, and my high was 153. After that game, we crashed and burned. I dropped to a 124, which was 4 pins above average, but my teammates bowled below average. To make it worse, the team we were playing stepped in major shit! Two of them bowled 200+ games, all three of them were 30 pins above average. There was no way for us to catch up.
The third game we lost as well, but only by 25 pins.
end result, out of 7 points, we only won 2.
Oh well, there's always next week. I'm hoping we don't drop down too far, we've been #6 for the past 6 weeks or so.

Well, the good news is that we were still in 6th place after last night.
The bad news is the way we bowled last night, I doubt we'll still be there next week.
::)
It was like none of us could get our shit together, we lost all three games, and all 7 points. >:(
