Tonight was horrible...Carry was non-existent....I was second highest on our pair with a 499...I don't think I had double digits in strikes...Kinda made me feel like I was bowling at Demon Lanes...

Dennis Francis popped them again for 300/ 804. He freaking OWNS Armadilla I right now... 3- 800's in 5 weeks, and I think one of those weeks he missed... Personally, I think the left side is HORRIBLE. I understand Charlie Falco and Michele Davis struggled they wer soooooooo slick Wednesday night... I had a 503 last night, but on Thursday, I washed out, bucketed, left the 5-6 pocket hit a couple of times, hit light and left the 3-6-7 several times... not to mention it happened all the way until the 10th fram 3rd game.... washed out on my fill ball. 118- 152-156, which was right at my average the second and thrid games... Of course, it's the left side so who cares... Mike and Garland struggled with slick, slick, slick on their side too... It seems slow ball speed with alot of hand or twist is the answer in that house... the no thumbers ought to love it...

High Hopes won 3 last night keeping pace with the first place team that won 3 as well.
Lanes are a bit tight, I'm having to throw one of my more aggressive balls and get my hand position more on the side at release to get a good reaction and carry. Went 253, 197, 236 for a 686 series. Had a stone 9, a solid 7 and several 10 pin leaves my second game that costed me shooting 700+ again and I missed one of my 10 pin spares....dumby... had one double that game. Just couldn't get any breaks, that's the way it goes sometimes....
Again, congrats to Dennis Francis...he's throwing the ball great, has the right ball and he loves slicker lane conditions. For those that are interested, Dennis has been throwing a Storm "Domination" don't know how he's got it laid out but whatever it is, it's working...

High Hopes won 4 last night in Position round and took over 1st place. This year the league has been much tighter and I'm sure the top spots will be a dog fight from here on out to the end of the season.
Shot pretty good last night overall, went 279, 205, 246 for a 730 series. Just threw the ball bad a couple of shots the second game and missed a bucket spare and left a big split.... oh well, no one is perfect...lol.. Roger Banks shot well to with a 727 series and had the front 9 the second game.

Depends on Lorrie won 3 games last night... should have been a split... the anchor bowler (lefty) on the other team needed 5 pins on his last shot to shut us out the 3rd game... he threw the ball VERY slow, gave it a little yank and picked off 3 on the right... Fraul proceeded to 10 pin /, strike to win by ONE pin...
I had 538, with a 149 first game... missed alot of spares.. but, I changed balls and had 206, 182 the next 2 games...
My right knee is KILLING me, but, I toughed it out... LOL

What's causing the pain in your right knee other than just old age?....
Good shooting your 2nd and 3rd games...

High Hopes got swept 4 games last night to Dennis Francis team, so I'm sure we got knocked out of first.... it's been a battle all year in this league.
Shot fairly well, had games of 255, 202 and 258 for a 715 and was high on the pair. Lanes seemed a little dryer last night but still very score-able. Had two big splits the second game and a tap or two that kept me from scoring better. The second game has been my weak game the last couple of weeks, it's all me, I'm not making good adjustments, the lanes are transitioning and I'm just not making good decisions.

DRIER?
Must be back to their pair to pair tricks again... my lanes were so slick on the left side I didn't strike until the 2nd game... and had 4 that game, then 2 the 3rd game for a total of 6. I also had a bunch of pocket 9 counts the 3rd game, so I had no carry on top of NO SHOT.
But, we won 3... the standing are 52, 50, 48, 48, 45 and 44 and High Hopes did fall back into 2nd place.
this must be a shock for y'all.... y'all cakewalked the league by 20 or so games the last couple of years and this year there is alot of competition... lol

I went to armadilla 1 last night to visit friends and get a different look at bowling other than arm 2 and the constant HOOK. To watch some strikes being thrown instead of big splits. Well there were alot of strikes and some big numbers, maybe I need to bowl there one night to get my confidence back! Well maybe more than one night. LOL but it was nice to watch a ball not snap off of the lane when you missed right and bucket if you missed left. I also never heard anyone complain about the shot either, well not too much! It gave me some ideas on what i need to do to try and conquer the lanes at the deuce.

Wow, High Hopes dropped all 4 games again last night. Gitusum really bowled well as a team. We had two or three bowlers struggling every game.... but I wasn't one of them......lol...
Went 247, 268 and 228 for a 743 series...I'm catching up on Rocky Z. for high average in the house, up to 232.7 now but I don't know what Rocky shot Tuesday night this week.
