Week 7
207, 213, 156 576 Series
We played Ed's team tonight "The Big Dawgs" and I kept the momentum for our team going and got into the other team's head a little bit with my "Randy Orton is God" comment as "The Big Dawgs" are huge John Cena fans and your standard wrestling marks. They were telling me how Orton cheated to win the title and I was trying to explain it's really quite impossible to cheat in a hell in the cell match. Anyways, I believe it helped us get our first sweep of the season.
Game 1 918-828
Game 2 904-867
Game 3 897-831
It seems like every game over the last few weeks we have a shot at hitting a 900 series. Tonight we bowled a 2365 team scratch series!
That's a combined 197 average on the night. Good stuff. We remain the team with the highest team average at 745 (186.2). Going into the night we were sitting at .500 (21-21) ending the night at 28-21 and definitely guarenteed somewhere in the top 3 with 3 weeks till roll off for the first third champion.
Only down side for me is that my third game was by far my worst game of the season. Check these stats:
Game 3 frames 1-9: 4 open frames, one strike. And I still managed to throw a 156! Thanks to XXXing out in the 10th after we already had the sweep locked up with Bill and Dana both throwing a 245 and a 214 respectively.
Confidently clicking on all levels right now.
As for Duffy J's stats:
4,105 total pins through 21 games with an average of 195.5.

Bowling Scores 9/22/09 It's a good one
9/22/09
Week 5
221,212, 244 677 Series.
Holy Shit. Went off like a fucking cannon tonight. In fact my entire team rocked it pretty much all night. Check these team handicap games:
Game 1 974
Game 2 911
Game 3 996
If 3 900+ has happened in one night for our team before, I sure don't remember it.
We were clicking ridiculous style. And still only went 5-2 on the night because the team we were playing rocked these handicap games:
Game 1 935
Game 2 998
Game 3 875
I had 3 open frames and they weren't splits they were easily makeable. I opened in the 4th frame of game 1, the 3rd frame of game 2 and the 1st frame of game 3. I was stringing strikes together like I haven't done since 2005. Nothing more than XXXX in a row but they were coming in bunches and the third game I XXX9'd out for that 244. New ball hit the pocket flush on a lot of shots and even when it was coming in light I was carrying. A couple pocket shots were too perfect, and one even left a solid 8 pin with the gallery's jaws dropping. "A Minus"
677 is my highest series in probably 3 years. It looks to be good enough for second highest series this season just behind Fred's 683.
I've been tracking my games since the 07-08 season and I don't have anything that high. My last significant 6 came on 10/23/07 when I rolled a 657.
Our team came into the night in second to last place for the third. We are now 16-19 on the year and back in the middle of the pack just halfway through the first third.

Quick Movie Reviews- Some Late, Some Recent, etc.
I Love You Beth Cooper 5/10
Nothing special nothing horrible.
Orphan 8/10
Really dug the ending. classic finish.
Halloween 2 7/10
Classic Rob Zombie film but too much flashing gave me a headache by the finish. Don't watch if you have epilepsy.
Sorrority Row 6/10
Horribly Awesome.
Jennifer's Body 3/10
Horribly not awesome and you have to suffer through some whino/screamo/emo song the entire film.
Ah the September Releases! Can't wait for Vanilla Gorilla! Wait that's been pushed to November and Shutter Island pushed to Feburary. Bah!
On a side note, Shutter Island- THE BOOK was really good.
Carry on...

Bowling Scores 9/15/09
183,211,148 542 Series.
I probably had a full game of open frames on this night but was able to post somewhat decent scores the first two games thanks to XXXX out in game 1 and finishing strong in game 2 after starting with two open frames. Game 3 fell apart.
We went 5-2 on the night and threw a season best team handicap game of 1001.
Still toward the bottom of the pack I think we are something like 10-18 but hopefully things are coming together for a strong comeback after a not so great start to the season.
2270 total pins through 12 games with an average of 189.1

Bowling Scores week 2 and 3
Week 2
211,205,204 620 Series
Only takes two weeks to throw my first 600 series? That sounds more like the 05' Evans.
We lost all games though as one bowler was still establishing an average.
2-12 through the first two weeks
My average through 6 games sits at 200.
Week 3
159,184,181 524 Series
In the words of Ozzy
"Back on Earth"
While my first game was the worst on paper, it came down to me maintaining the anchor position and needing a X and 8 pins to win game 1. That's exactly what I did and we won by 1 pin. Good stuff concidering the other team had a guy telling me "no pressure" before my shot.
Game 2 and 3 were also all over the place and sparadic on my part. I was nowhere near the pocket for a majority of the time and then the times I did hit the pocket I was leaving solid 10's or 7's. Missing one of each of those didn't help either. 1/2 on 10 pins.
Through 3 weeks we are 6-15 and near the bottom of the pack. It still beats our record worst start ever where we began a season 0-26 a few years ago.
1728 total pins through 3 weeks and an average of 192

Late Movie Reviews
Obsessed- 6/10 Not bad but I was disappointed with the buildup to Beyonce's huge fight scene that didn't pay off because it was a PG-13 Film
Up- 5/10 Nothing special here, Surprisingly sad when his wife dies, best scene for me is when he blasts the guy outside his house with his cane and makes him bleed. Blood in a PG film? Interesting.
The Proposal 8/10 I didn't laugh once for the first hour until Betty White stepped in to save us all.
Transformers 2- 4/10 Too many plot holes to count and just a huge pile of garbage action that seemed ridiculously forced at the audience. Way longer than it needed to be.
Public Enemies- 8/10 Good Gangster flick. Depp delivers.
Ice Age 3- 7/10 -1 point for the cell phone reference. Also the undertones seems kind of jacked up to me.
