We took it to the 1st place team last night... 3-1. Really don't know how we did it... they must have bowled bad... Poteet had a good night with a 640. The other team will say we carried a bunch of brooklyns and off-hits... I think it was about even... anyway... the league is tightening up, with a position round in 4 weeks...
Can you say SLICK on the LEFT. I can.. and that's what I had... I'm going to have to modify equipment to bowl @ Arm I... my "shot" results in a bucket or a washout everytime, unless I pull it just a hair... if I square up too much, I get bounce off the dry and it rumbles through the nose or crosses over.
One thing I can say, it's making me get better... I keep alot of shots in play, but only get 3 or 4 strikes a game...

High Hopes won all 4 last night and thanks to PBA's team, we were able to catch up 3 games on the first place team.
Bowled bad last night, had trouble figuring out lane 19. After it broke down, was getting bad over/under reaction. Was consistent any ways with games of 213, 212 and 217 for a 642 series. Hey we won 4 and lowered my average a pin...what a deal.. down to 231.84 now...

High Hopes won 3 last night moving us into a tie for first place.
Bowled well and consistent last night shooting games of 259, 258, 259 for a 776 series. Struck every frame on lane 18 and only missed 6 times on lane 17. ( 2 - 4 pins & 4 - 10 pins). Lane 17 screwed me out of a big 800 series, was really throwing the ball well.... got my avg. up to 233 now.... Hope this will give me the boost of confidence I need to do well this weekend in the Texas Scratch Masters up in Plano.

And Congrats go out to Garland Newman for a 300 game his first game last night. Of coarse, he gets in one bracket out of 6 and I'm the lucky person that catches him....lol.... Great game Garland..
But I still won 4 of the 5 brackets I was in and the Eliminator.... so still a good night...

We lost 3 games lst night.. we just couldn't get over the hump... won the last game by 6 pins and lost totals by 29... just bad luck on our part, and it seems the other team got the strikes when they needded them... they were a nice bunch of folks, so it's all good... I like the Oxy League... 2nd game 9th frame we get three 7--10 splits, a chopped spare and a strike from me, while the other guys get 4/5 strikes, with a double and a turkey... game over. I noticed mr. p was strikiing his butt off... it seems the HoF curse has not struck him yet... he may be impervious to it since it took so long to get in... multiple nominations may be the antidote!! I had 507 but the left side is not nearly as "gravy" as the right. It's a statement to my natural talent I'm able to grind out what I do... LOL <previous statement made in jest> |

The right side IMO has been pretty good for the most part, except at the first part of the year. Really don't know about the left side though, not all that many good lefties that bowl Arm I, other than Mike Dunnaho and Cory B. but I don't know how they been shooting. I'd be curious to see how some of the good lefties have been doing in some of the lastest Latin Tourns. that have been there in recent months... If they haven't been scoring, then it would appear that the Left side isn't as good..... Not that I'm complaining....lol.....J/K.....

I actually bowled good for the third week in a row. Only bad thing about tonight was I choked twice and ruined a 700 series. I shot a 228-194(choke)-258(choke) for a 680 series...I should have had a good second game but choked and couldn't knock down two ten pin spares...Then in the last game I had 7 in a row and choked in the eighth frame and couldn't carry the 6 pin...Hopefully the good bowling continues the rest of the season.

But still great bowling Homersan... Way to go!!!.... High Hopes won 3 last night and I think, still in a tie for first with Weebles Wooble.... Shot pretty good, went 227, 233, 265 for a 725 series but was knocked out of all 5 of my brackets the first game and only finished 2nd in the Eliminator.... oh well, the lanes were good, I should have shot better.... |

I had a weird night.. first bad thing that happened was I threw a turkey in practice...
That's never good for me, it always indicates a bad night when I strike alot in practice...
So for the night, I miss 14 spares, several of them makeable... but I had 3 washouts, a 7------10, a 4-7-10 mixed in for my 14 opens... 10 strikes and 6 spares...
Wednesday, I had 1 chopped spare and 3 splits... so what a difference 24 hours makes...
Plus we lost 4, dropped a place or 2 in the standings I'm sure...
My teams for the last 3 weeks (3 nights a week) are:
1-3, 0-4, 1-3
0-4, 0-4, 1-3
1-3, 1-3, 0-4
5-31 for 3 weeks... makes me REAAAAALLLLLY excited about going into City Tournament on a month long losing streak....

I had an alright night last night....Ended up shooting 611 for the night...I personally thought 31&32 were on the dry side...Had to keep the ball speed up over 17mph all night...My arm is already sore...

Bowled like crap last night...Lanes were real dry...I didn't even break 500....Hopefully the lanes will be better next week...Of course I said that last week after bowling on a dry shot...Does anyone know if there are still copies of the "TAKE TWO WEEKS OFF AND QUIT!" book floating around?

Bowled pretty good last night and this week, considering how poorly I scored at Nationals.
Went 225, 269, 258 last night for a 752 at Arm I and we won 3 games.
Shot 699 Monday night at Arm II and 679 Tuesday night at Arm II.
Went 2130 this week in league, that's a far cry better than the 1664 I shot at Nationals... : (

Nice bowling MrP...I bowled like crap last night for 2 of the 3 games....I needed a 168 the third game to get a 500 series and ended up shooting a 235...Ended up with a 567 series to get average for the night...Our pair broke down midway through the first game and it took me forever to figure out how to compensate for that...Finally figured it out in the 3rd game and strung together 8 strikes in a row to finish the night....Hopefully I will remember what I did so I can try it again next week....BTW I'm still looking for the "Take two weeks off and quit book!"
