Mumzie, it could have been worse... it could have been on the 12th ball
I just had a night of stone 8's myself. I left 3 of the durn things in the first 9 frames, then on the last ball of the game, I announced to everybody who would listen, that I was going to TRY to leave a stone 8. Result? I barely hit the head pin, scrambled a bunch of pins on the left side of the deck, and lo and behold... an 8 pin! Not a stoner like I announced, but everyone who heard my intentions was amused
Stone 8's last night, last week it was stone 9's. I wonder what I'll come up with next week?
NBC, I've done that this season! Front 9, mostly good shots. First ball in the tenth, tug it inside, with not much on it: and lo, there was an 8-10, and it was not good
(Even though I deserved it). My teammates couldn't believe it, and everbody else who saw it was speechless, especially the lower-to-intermediate avg. bowlers. Most of them thought I got screwed! Oh well, someday I'll get there again.
