Post by: debs130 on November 17, 2003, 01:24:01 PM: I'm taking a week off from all of my leagues so that my ring finger will have a chance to heal. It's swollen from the knuckle down, and slightly bruised. I think I hyper-extended it last Sunday when I dropped my ball while throwing it (of course it landed in the channel).

Post by: CB on November 17, 2003, 03:48:03 PM: Debs, that's a big ouch. I hope it heals quickly. Don't start back until it is better, we don't want to lose you permanently from the barrel.

Hope you fell better very soon. I think I pulled some tendons a couple weeks ago trying the tucked pinky thing........wont do that again.

Last nights bowling found the old wood lanes clean, very reactive, I think they striped the entire lane in preparation for some local tournament. I am staying optimistic about the conditions tonight, cause with this place ya just never know.

Could be posting some much better scores tonight if things hold up. Im crossing my fingers and toes, cause last night left me feeling very good.

Post by: ecajberry on November 17, 2003, 10:46:25 PM: !!!!!DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!

If only this house would strip and care for the lanes like this every week.

161 160 211 = 532

FYI........sunday night mixed league was 211 170 162 = 543

Im sure this is a one time shot for me at this house but at least I know its not me totally, I only wish I could figure out the slop and adjust for it to keep up these scores!!!!

Post by: debs130 on November 18, 2003, 07:57:32 AM: Nice shooting, Ed!

Thanks for the well wishes, everyone. The ring finger is a bit less swollen, but it still hurts a lot to make a fist. It's killing me to miss my leagues, but I'm afraid of doing further damage, so I'll just baby it for a while.

Post by: RooCat on November 18, 2003, 08:32:27 AM: Excellent, Ed! A most impressive set. Keep up the good work and maybe you can place PinKisser back on the bottom where he belongs - jk, SuckerFish.

Please give your finger time to heal properly which could be up to 6 weeks, Debs. That's how long it can take tendons to heal. Quit as soon as you feel any discomfort when starting back. We don't want you permanently damaged and having to switch to the wrong side.

Post by: ThongPrincess on November 19, 2003, 12:41:13 PM: Well if Ed is at the bottom, I join him with my 532. The shot was actually a little better than it has been the past few months here. 193-168-171=532 I needed my 1st game score Monday night for my last game to get my stepladder 191-192 for the 1st 2 then 181. Oh well one of these days

Post by: ThongPrincess on November 19, 2003, 03:08:33 PM: Ed, sorry to burst your bubble, but it was a tie 532-532 unless you are looking game to game. Then I got you games 1 and 2 and you got game 3.

Now if you look at my Monday scores 191-192-181=564 Then you got me 1 game. So Congratulations you got me 2 games and tied a series! And I didn't even get 1 200 this week, I guess I used them all up last week

I expect you will be seeing more of those 200+ games and 500+ series soon and we will all be trying to keep ahead of you. Maybe PK will even be pushed back to the bottom of the barrel No, I think he is enjoying staying off of the bottom too much to go back.

I still hale you as winner, but I had to bask in the glow of a single victory. I have been struggling so long, I thought I would have to take up shuffle board or something.

On a lighter side, I will enjoy my week being paired along side of your beauty, wisdom, and skills.

Post by: Doc Hollywood on November 19, 2003, 09:31:19 PM: ecajberry - Did you get any CPL's? If you did you would have the edge over TP.

I have drilled up a ball this week and with a whole new drill pattern. I will be throwing it in league and no prior practice. I will see if I can keep from being on the bottom this week. So I need a 533 to keep from being there. I hope I can do that.

Doc, I definitely don't do CPLs. DPLs are tough to come by in the leagues I bowl. Monday is a 9PM league in Burbank and Tuesday is just dead around the center

Post by: CB on November 20, 2003, 01:10:50 AM: Ed and TP, step aside I think the bottom is mine this week. I pulled a muscle in my lower back Sunday. It was feeling better, so I didn't take the Motrin until it did start getting a little sore.

Add to that a spotty lane condition and I should have taken my blind. Here's the results 157-144-175=476

The only salvation for the night was 2 DPLs and meeting a fellow BR member. So I guess it was worth the trip to the center.

CPL's are impossible here. My Monday league is mens industrial, plus this house has no bar either. Besides, the wife might have issues with the whole CPL thing.

Post by: Doc Hollywood on November 20, 2003, 09:15:35 AM: TP - If you got a CPL you could score some big points.

Ed - I'm married too and I still get a few CPL's and my wife bowls in the same league. We are not swingers either.

Now that could be a cool a swingers league. Every week yuo switch partners literally, LOL

Mine wouldn't mind either, she is pretty easy going about what I do.
But there still are not chicks at my monday night league!!!! And the sunday night league chicks are for the most part not my type!!!

So I'm S.O.L.

Post by: Pat Kruschel on November 21, 2003, 10:41:25 AM: 184 - 190 - 193 = 567
0 CPL.

No 200's, but more consistant shots this week.

2 split/opens in the first game.
2nd game was clean until I dumped it in the gutter on the first ball in the 10th frame. Cost me a 200.
Don't remember much of the third game, other than 2 strikes & a 8 - 10 split in 10th.

Post by: Doc Hollywood on November 22, 2003, 02:27:38 AM: I think I have the lowest ever BOTBC score.

I will let Ed shine this week as I have hit rock bottom this week.

I have shot a very impressive 130-117-115=362

This very impressive score has now dropped my league average to a whopping 170.

Only 8 more pins to drop to get to the honorable 162.

No CPL's this week either.

Apparently that drilling just doesn't work Doc.
What drilling was it, want to make sure I don't try it.

Title: Re: BOTBC 11-17 to 11-23
Post by: Doc Hollywood on November 22, 2003, 10:19:20 AM: Sr. - Not to make excuses but there was several factors that made the difference in scoring on our pair. I was throwing a new ball with a different pattern that was too strong for the conditions. I have never thrown this ball prior to league night and only had 3 frames to throw in shadow. The lanes were toasted. The normal house shot wasn't there as the ball burned up before the arrows but continued to roll only to hit like a popcorn fart. The only place where their was enough oil to throw this ball was over 6th arrow which I am not very good at playing. I practiced that shot anyway. Secondly work was very strenuous so I was pretty worn out so trying to consistently hit an 8 board area at the breakpoint was out of the question. I can normally hit my area fairly consistently. So I was rewarded with strikes or washouts/splits which is understandable. This ball reads the lane well and does what it should do. I just wsn't up to doing my part consistently. I could have thrown plastic at my spares which I do well or switch to a ball I know better to score much better, but that doesn't suit me well since I do not practice that much anymore. But now I know what I can do with this ball and what conditions I can throw it on.

So there you have it. My reasons for scoring poorly. Not really any excuses. I wasn't upset and was laughing and smiling while throwing the ball. The wife got a kick out of it because she beat me 2 out of 3 and beat me series too.

She was amazed at how I didn't get upset like I used to in the past. She kept coming over to me and whispering in my ear. Baaaaaaaaaaagggggggeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr your a bagggggggggggeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr.

She consoled me later and she does bowl in the league. So I bagged a CPL. Too bad significant others don't count.

Until next week folks.

Post by: SrKegler on November 22, 2003, 04:58:05 PM: Actually, those scores weren't that bad. Did you check out some of the scores from the PBA site this week. I can't envision a shot so bad a pro shoots 130s.

At least you scored a CPL.

We'll try and get out there in March. I want to check out Pat's rent-a-chick program. Maybe he'll take trade ins.

Post by: Doc Hollywood on November 22, 2003, 05:11:25 PM: Sr. You better be careful. If the Mrs. thinks you8 are going to trade her in you may be out of luck.

Do you the one where the 80 year old man wanted to trade the wife in for a twenty year old?

The wife replied, If you remember math then you know that it works both ways. I'll trade you in for a twenty year old as well and 80 goes into twenty a lot less then 20 goes into 80.

The other fact remains that you have to go to sleep sometime.
