Title: Care to laugh at me?
Post by: Gene J Kanak on October 09, 2006, 02:15:43 AM
Being that we all love a good laugh, I figured I'd share this one:

Last night's mixed league scores:

X 9/ X X X X X X X X X X = 280  <--10 pin was falling when rack hit it! ouch.

63  9/ 9/ X 9- 81 X X 9/ F/ 9= 163 Lowest game of the year!

X X X 9/ X X X X X X X 7 = 276  (ringing 10-pin in fourth)

So, that debacle equals 719, with games 1 and 3 equaling 556 of that! Man, that's just abysmal. I guess the only solace that I have is that the 163 didn't come in Game 3. If it had, I'd seriously be hanging from my shoelaces somewhere!  Anyhow, I figured this might give some of you a laugh.

Hey Gene,

We have all been in that situation at one point or another...I can recall when I shot my first sanctioned 300 about 3 years ago, 300-188-162 for only 650! LOL! Not to mention the fact that next week in league my first game was 103! Yeah, we've all been there buddy! God Bless You! Have a great week!

WE had a guy last year shoot 290 and then not break 600.

Not laughing. Look at this way, at least you got all your bad shots out in one game and did not spread them out over the entire night...

BOWLING IS FUN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SCORE. BUT A 300 IS ALWAYS NICE.

STRIKE ZONE & PYRO. STAND 15 AND THROW 10 OUT TO 5 AND SMASH THE POCKET. AT LEAST THAT IS THE PLAN OF THE NIGHT...

Watched a guy shoot 149-150-300. Not even a 600 series.

Thanks for the support, guys. I'm really not taking it badly. I'm actually laughing at it myself. As I said, if I had shot the 163 in Game 3, then I would truly be kicking myself.

On another interesting note, the following night, during practice, I took the 7-10 only out of a full rack! I've never seen or even heard of anyone else doing it. I've made the 7-10 once during competition, but somehow I found this cooler.

I've seen a few collapses like that.  One, the guy shot 299, then struggled to shoot a low 600.  Another friend of mine shot 300 in practice just before league, (his first of any kind, but with many 270+ games), then opened the night with a big 150.

Never seen a 7-10 out of a full rack.  Sounds very cool to me, too.  Seen the regular 7-10 in warmups, though.
