The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Anytime you end games with 5, 3, and 4 strikes you would expect a very nice series to go along with that. Well, that is unless you can't convert ten pins, or you leave tough splits in each game. All in all a 596 series is good for me, but again I leave myself looking for more. Oh well, it happens, but that brings me to the segment:

The Good- After sitting in last place and 12 games out of the playoffs as of 3 weeks ago, our team has won 15 of 16, and has surged to within 5 games (before last night) of a playoff spot. Last night we took 3 of 4 from the 1st place team that had lost only 9 games the entire half.

The Bad- Blew a chance to win the last game. Despite a relatively strong 10th, weren't quite able to make up the ground we needed and lost by 32. The good in the bad, it wasn't my fault this time as I punched out with the final 4.

The Ugly- I don't get into brackets that often, in fact I had only gotten in once before this year (which I won), but felt like last night I was due for a good night so I signed up and paid my $5.00 I won my 1st round and was pitted against some dude with a 143 average. This gives him 57 pins handicap against my 9. I shot a decent game of 194 and with my 9 that gives me 203. This clown I am up against shoots a 148, and with his 57 pins beats me 205-203. Two words from a wise man sum this up: "Real Nice" Thank you Paul Mummert.

No real surprises in AI last night besides the loss of Sundance Head. I think his crying last week may have done him in. I guess it's hard to get the rocker vote when you are seen balling your eyes out everytime someone gets eliminated. It was also good to see Malakar in the bottom 3 this week, perhaps his departure is imminent?

Songs I downloaded today: Love you down- Houston
Watch You Dance- Ne Yo
I'm Gonna Be- Donnell Jones
Gone - Frankie J
Just to Feel that.. Taylor Hicks

You could also download "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" by Consequence f/ Kanye West.

As for the 10-pins, I once tried twisting my wrist the opposite way to create a left to right curve on the rock hoping it would break and swoop just in time to hit the 10. It sort of worked... you might work on it over the summer? People think you're an idiot but what can I tell 'em when I'm rolling a house ball without my thumb.

I agree on the crying game and think they need automatic ejections for tears.
