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?
