Title: BOTBC 12-15 to 12-21

Post by: ThongPrincess on December 15, 2003, 02:32:44 PM: So if I understand this correctly we are to sandbag, but not make it obvious. How about we take our actual scores and make the lowest possible combination of the digits. So a 216 becomes a 126 and a Pchee 162 is also a 126. Will that help your cause?

Post by: SrKegler on December 15, 2003, 02:42:51 PM: I don't know, probably have to switch digits around on a 101 to guarantee him a chance. This is Pink isser you're talking about.

Post by: ThongPrincess on December 15, 2003, 05:03:32 PM: SrKegler, I was trying to be nice, it is the season to be giving It also might be tough to alter any score to a 101 unless it were a 110. Or do we chop a hundred off any 200+ game, 50 off any game between 115 and 199. Anything under 100 stands as bowled

Hmmm maybe we should just lie about the scores and forget any formula.

Better yet no one posts until after PK does so we make sure he has the top scores Merry Early Christmas PK

Post by: Pat Kruschel on December 16, 2003, 08:50:08 AM: Okay, Okay, enough of this idle banter!

This is the last week for my men's league until the start of next year, so you had better be ready to bowl!

After last week, I need to end the year on a good note.
Plus I have the ABT YEA Tournament this weekend, I am going to try to bowl with Rick Wunder so I can watch and learn enough to whip you all!

Maybe he can undo all the damage you 2 did trying to help me bowl better in St. Louis!

Bring it on !!!

149-184-177=510

Post by: SrKegler on December 17, 2003, 10:07:08 AM: TP, the poor guy was begging for a win. Here you go and shoot a 500 on him. Itâ€™s x-mas, couldnâ€™t you have shaved a few pins off, like maybe 200 to give him a chance.

Just watch, Ed will be a nice guy and shoot a low series.

I tell you to bowl well so I can earn 1st place and this is how you reward me ?
I don't need your charity, I've got plenty other good bowlers to beat!

Post by: ThongPrincess on December 17, 2003, 05:35:30 PM: SrKegler, I thought I did give him a chance. You should have seen the righthanders, they were kiling the pins. Of the 4 right handers on the team, one shot 715 and 2 were in the upper 600s. The other righty was over average even with an injured finger. Hmmm maybe I need to visit my coach.

You know on second thought, you are correct, I did break 500 Maybe I should have reported the 184 as a 148, would that have helped?

TP, you have to remember we are talking about PK here. A 500 to him is the same as an 800 for most bowlers. Too late to fudge the scores now anyhow. Winny just put up some BIIIGGG numbers. That pretty much shuts PK out.

I think he bowls two leagues, why don't you guys let him add the 2 series together just this once. He "should" be able to come close to Winny's total that way.

Just a suggestion.

Thankfully this season there haven't been many of those nights...but then the season is still young

Post by: Doc Hollywood on December 20, 2003, 10:26:19 AM: Are you ready to jump up ecajberry?

I am giving you the chance to climb up on my shoulders and claw your way up higher.

127-152-129=408

Switched back to some of my older heavier equipment and redrilled them with some advice of my teammate a track staffer. I didn't get out to test these balls except a few in shadow. All I can say is hook monsters. I think I kept a few in the pocket all the rest were way left. I was trying to throw the ball right after setting it down on 39 but most of the time the ball would grab at about 20 and make a hard left. He told me I needed more hand. Now he tells me I need to be in between, LOL. I told him I do black and white only. No gray, LOL. needless to say we split thanks to my teammate who shot 723. Well after this week I am getting my average closer to the great hall of famer 162. We bowl in two weeks so maybe I might be able to get in a few games of practice.

Come on ecajberry

Post by: debs130 on December 21, 2003, 12:49:02 PM: Happy (belated) Birthday, OutaSync!

Yikes, what a morning:

222-145-149 = 516

Started off so promising. My little guy had a very low frustration threshold this morning (he's mildly autistic, not just your average brat -- but anyone who doesn't know what he's about would think he just needs a good spanking). I know I shouldn't let it distract me, but I have to attend to his behavior when he gets like that. Well anyway, I got all tense and began overthrowing the ball toward the end of the first game and never really got a good feel for the ball for the rest of the series.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas/Chanukah.

Ed Doc saved you from the very bottom. You almost had your triplicate, only 24 more pins on that last game. No trophies, just bragging rights

Post by: ecajberry on December 22, 2003, 07:36:55 AM: I know all to well about the triplicate thing. EVERYONE was telling me about it after my second game and it threw me into a mind game hell. Sometimes I wish people would just keep it to themselves, but then again, its those mind games that I try and invoke when........well..........nevermind........

Post by: Doc Hollywood on December 22, 2003, 09:35:39 AM: ecajberry - Glad to keep you off the bottom for awhile. Now grow some claws and work your way up higher.

I still think I hold the lowest scores at 362. After this past week I should be in the 160's.

It's okay I have a slump around this time of year every year and it lasts about 8 weeks.

Everyone have a happy holidays. Maybe Santa claus can bring me "Game" for xmas. I sure could use it, LOL
