Guy like that used to bowl here.  One night, the other team was having "one of those nights" and just hammering us.  Seemed like lots of shots were going brooklyn and carrying.  Then I saw why.

   The captain of the other team saw how much it was bothering the guy, so he was telling his team to do it on purpose, if they could.  They were pretty good at it, I must say.

  Well, when the guy found out it was being done on purpose and was aimed directly at him, he went NUTS.  Jumped into the middle of the other teams sittee and started raving at the captain of their team.

  Captain calmly gets up, confronts the guy, and knocks about 3 teeth out of the guys mouth.  Fight?  No, the loudmouth didn't want anymore.  Furthermore, he ( the loudmouth ) was escorted to the door, told not to ever come back, and that they would ship his stuff to him C.O.D.

  Owner then told me HE would pay for the empty spot until we filled it, that is how glad he was to get rid of the guy.

  Funny thing is, we won more games and bowled better without the guy, even with only 4 guys and a blind.

I've bowled with that guy.

I think anyone that has bowled leagues for a good number of years has had him on their team at some point, and then gotten rid of them ASAP.

It was no fun and there was no enjoyment when you have the hot head on your team, no matter what he averages.  

Having been on both sides of "career night bowling", I always operated under the assumption that when another bowler has their career night, we should just take our lumps and be happy for them.   When it is your turn, just go with the flow and have fun with it.  There is no need for anyone to rub someone's face in it, or to detract from someone else's accomplishments.

IMHO, fifteen years ago, 190-195 bowlers were upper shelf bowlers in the leagues, similar to the 205 - 210 guys in the tougher houses today.

15 years ago, I was in juniors and there were plenty of guys averaging 205-210.  That is what I am basing it off of.  I actually thought the shots I bowled on then were easier than they are now.  It truely was bumper bowling.  But, I could be wrong.

Can't say that I would ever quit because of someone but there is a guy that I would love to cram my fist into his face.

The guy is the "trash talker" guy in our house. Biggest mouth in the world, and we was in a tournament sat with this moron on our lanes and all he did was run his mouth. It didn't bother me too much till the very last game, he crossed the line then. Me and my partner was having a medicore night for us and so we was already in a bad mood.

But the first and second game he was just saying oh that was some lucky shots right there and all this BS which was fine (evne though he and his partner had about 10 brooklyns a piece) I just laughed and went on. Well the third game comes around and he knows now that we don't care about what hes been saying and we were totally killing him and his partner in score so he starts threatning us saying that he was going to whoop our arses and then started calling us gay.

It didn't bother me up until the last few frames of the last game. I guess it was because I had a 300 game going and he was wanting to get under my skin. Well he did. i slipped on my balanced and fouled first shot of the tenth.

I don't know what his deal was and I've never liked him before because of his loudness but he really pushed my buttons. I never got mad infront of him because thats what they want is a reaction, but if he starts with me next time, Im knocking his lights out.
