Week #7 Results

Now were gettin' somewhere! Olivia was out of action again but Sharon, The Coach, and I were in fine form with series of 540, 533, and 627 respectively. It was a four game sweep that moved us from third place to a first place tie with Dr. Nashmoyki at 18-10.

Practice at Paddock Bowl

Sharon and I bowled a couple of practice games before tonight's Monte Carlo game at Paddock Bowl. I shot some video which is linked below.

Week #6 Results

We got back on the winning track, going 3-1 for the night with a couple of really close games. We pulled ourselves back up to third place at 14-10. Olivia couldn't be there tonight. Sharon hit her high game of the season with a 217 in the third game while the Coach and I shot respectable scores in the 170s. That was enough to win the rubber game of the match and to claim the total pinfall point.

I was glad to be back in decent form after last week's disasterous performance. My strike line hasn't resurfaced but I was picking up most of my spares which was a huge relief. I bowled the third game with my Black Widow Nasty because my Black Widow Pearl was damaged when it got stuck in the ball return during the tenth frame of the second game. Diablo Lanes is going to repair it for me and I should have it back for next week's games.

Sharon raised her average five pins. Way to go, Sharon!

Week #5 Results

Ouch! That was our worst performance of the season by far. Sharon was in Sacramento for the Columbus Day Holiday. I wish I had been, too. Olivia and the Coach might have been able to pull out a game or two. As it was, we were swept and dropped from second place to fifth with a record of 11-9. That's the worst I've bowled since I was a kid. Just awful. I dropped ten pins off my average in one night! I had some problems with my thumb swelling and I wasn't able to find the right taping in the thumb holes of each ball. Everything I tried just made it worse. I'm going out for some extra practice sessions before next Monday. I stunk. Sorry, teammates.
