Bowling Scores 2/22/11
162, 219, 193 574 Series
Strikes in Game 1- 1
Strikes in Game 2- 7
No clue what to do once again. I began the night trying to throw the line I ended last week but with no consistency what so ever. I couldn't get the ball outside the 10 board which was the only place it would come back strong to the pocket. 10-14 boards soaked and rolling anywhere near there and you've got a pretty good chance of a washout-missing the head pin completely. Luckily the rest of my team came through and we won game 1 850-844.
I finally got things together in game 2 for a bit. Went back to the bread and butter of my stance at the 19-20 board and finally started getting the ball outside and slowing it down. Unfortunatley we lost the 2nd game by a measly 2 pins 835-837. I needed to XXX out to tie and was only able to XX8. It didn't help that my only open frame in game 2 was in the 9th when I missed a 7 pin. For 7/12 strikes a 219 is pretty weak.
Third game everyone exploded for deuces except me. A 210,212,213, and 193. We steamrolled game 3 949-841.
I believe this marks the first time in the third third of the season that we have won more than we have lost. We still sit in last for this third at 18-31 but for the season we are knocking on the door of 100 wins at 99-90. Still not a whole lot of confidence in my game as each week I'm just experimenting with stuff, trying to keep it clean as best I can and claw my way to hopefully a series that can get my team the W.
15,676 total pins and an average of 200.97 through 78 games.

Raw Thoughts 2/14/11
Until the finish the Eve Natalya match was shaping up to be the best women's match on Raw in a long time.
Miz/Bryan put on a great match. I just wished Miz would have sold a bit more post match during his mic segment but I guess that would have made him look weak as champ. How many times did Bryan kick him in the chest? Great Agressive Stuff that we rarely see in the PG era.
Speaking of Agressive stuff, John Morrison's work on Monday Night was very well done. I had glimpses of him soon being at the top of the ladder in the main event scene. He's been walking that tightrope from mid-card to Main eventer for quite some time now and his on screen effort truly showed his passion for the business.
Now for the buzzkill of the night that comes in the form of David Otunga. Aside from some decent mic work, I have to say Otunga may be the new MVP as in most boring wrestler to watch. I really think they should have had Otunga get kicked in the head and still have Harris in the group. Nothing stands out for Otunga. He's not a diciple of his father or has wrestling in his blood or anything like that. He should be sent back down to FCW and be re-packaged with some sort of gimmick that works.
Sheamus/Orton was ok, clean finish out of nowhere was a good changeup.
2.21.11- Wow, what a failure at keeping Smarks and marks alike guessing. Few will agree with me but I think Undertaker should have retired years ago. And spoiling his return by showing his face this week was disappointing to say the least.
Finally...
After 7 long years the Rock returns and will Host Wrestlemania 27. A small part of me was hoping there would be a Rocky Sucks chant but alas even when heels have been away for as long as the Rock has you know he's going to get a roof blowing off the place type of ovation. However no ovation will ever compare to the one Hogan got on Smackdown years ago. That one was damn near 15 minutes and they had to go to a commercial break.
While I was disappointed last week when they scrapped the Vince McMahon Coma angle just to have him make an announcement for this week, I was glad to see that it was high profile and not something disappointing like Bob Barker. It seems Vince knew that this year's road to Wrestlemania was shaping up to be a boring one with Edge/Del Rio not really getting much interest. He shouldn't be surprised though, they haven't pushed someone this hard this fast since Kurt Angle IMO.
Rock's Promo was great and I'm glad they decided to set aside the PG rating for the overrun. Rock stating that he's here to stay and not going anywhere still has me skeptical because that could mean what he's been these last seven years, an entertainer. The burying of Cena was great because it confused the shit out of Aneheim for a while and I think I even heard some mixed boos for the Rock. I would say the chances of the Rock ever wrestling another match in WWE are about as good as Austin wrestling one. I do think it would be a strong move to keep The Rock as an on air character no matter the capacity.
An entertaining way to end Raw as we look ahead to Wrestlemania it's looking like Del Rio/Edge and Miz/Cena is evident. The rest of the card is up in the air. Wouldn't it be nice if the Intercontinental Title could be defended at Mania? That title hasn't had any prestige since Kurt Angle held it and broke down what Intercontinental meant. Another great promo might I add.
Miz/Bryan put on a great match. I just wished Miz would have sold a bit more post match during his mic segment but I guess that would have made him look weak as champ. How many times did Bryan kick him in the chest? Great Agressive Stuff that we rarely see in the PG era.

Bowling Scores 2/15/11
166, 170, 224 560 Series
I don't know how I pulled a 224 out of my ass but it happened. I've been non-existent for the last month. This would be the point in the blog where I lie and tell you that I'm sandbagging for the playoffs. When in actuality I am not and have lost my groove compeltely. Went into the night with a 201.9 average and it should decrease a bit more.
I'm missing spares that I shouldn't be missing. Through two games tonight I think I had five strikes total. Thankfully I finished the night with a five bagger and the only reason I did that was trying a line I haven't tried all season. Threw 5 board and stood 15, additionally I lofted the ball quite a ways onto the lane with medium speed.
We only took the first game and we sit in last place for the third third of the season at a miserable 13-29. 94-88 for the year.
Last week's scores were abysmal: 157, 187, 172 516 Series.
And the week before that I was in Sacramento for Clutch so I didn't even bowl but I guess you could say I threw my average- 609 series! hah.
I guess it's a sandbag type of third. We have a few more weeks before playoffs but the lines I were throwing in weeks 11-20 are in no way working like they should be. I guess it's time to get creative and try some different stuff out. There's no way to know how the lane conditions are going to be for the playoffs so the more lines to the pocket I can work on the better.

Bowling Scores 1/18/11
186/202/157 545 Series
My god were the lanes abysmal tonight. The league president/Patriots fan decided to no show it because he couldn't handle the ass whoopin his boy Brady took on Sunday. The League Secretary was there and mentioned at the end of the night that he believes the oil machine broke down. Also meaning instead of stripping off an old oil pattern and putting on a new one, The machine just oiled right over the top of an old pattern. Everyone was struggling and I felt like I was either A: Back in the 2008 ProAm Reno tourney or B: Back in 2009 mode where the lanes were like this for much of the season. On a normal night the more games that are bowled the more you can notice the oil moves around and the lanes change a bit, much of the time for the better. Not Tonight. My teammate mentioned to me that it seemed like a viper pattern where throwing a ball outside the 10 board with any kind of velocity and your not going to see it come back anywhere near the head pin let alone the pocket. While anything inside the 10 boards late is dry as a bone and your ball will take off on you diving into the headpin leaving splits all night long.
Through 22 weeks of the season I had never been more confused after a few throws in practice. I started out trying my normal line of 20/10 meaning standing at the 20 board and throwing at the 10 board. That didn't work worth a damn with speed so I slowed it down and then anything between the 10 and 20 board late was bone dry and diving in leaving splits for many myself included. I then moved to the right and tried 15/10 line which worked in spurts but nothing consistent. I also tried 15/15,20/15, and every other combination of speed and rotation I could think of. Nothing worked.
It was a damn near miracle I was able to throw a deuce game 2. I strung together a couple of XXX's but a few of those were brooklyn hits. I probably had almost a full game of open frames on the night with at least 4 splits I can remember. I also probably missed the headpin more tonight that the entire season combined. The only real highlight of the night was a 6-7-10 conversion in the 1st frame of the 2nd game. I did not realize how huge this conversion would become because it's the only game we would win on the night by the narrowest of margins, 840-838.
Game 1 we lost 774-824 and Game 3 lost 781-829. I looked everywhere for anyone that might be figuring these lanes out and there was noone. The high game when I left was a 206. I'll be interested to see what the high series is next week I can't imagine it will be much above 550ish.
I really hope this is just a one week thing and that the oil machine isn't going to constantly leave us with conditions like this. It seriously isn't fun to bowl on at all.

My Thoughts on LOST
The initial reviews that I kept overhearing were that the finish was just awful. I can see how some would feel this way. My initial take on the final season is fairly positve. The whole flash sideways aspect was intriguing and not so bad. Yes, I agree things could have been written differently (I.E. the realization of seeing you in another life, brotha)
My favorite episode of the final season by far is the back story of Richard Alpert in "Ab Aeterno". I seriously caught myself during this episode saying aloud: "This is really good." I know there was no one else in the room but people who know me wouldn't question it. They know I'm crazy. Really. I felt myself immediately emotionally drawn to the character we never knew much about for five seasons and then in one episode making the audience feel so much closer to Richard is just amazing. They did a damn fine job on this one. I guess I'm not alone as while researching others reviews I came across this episode which cracked the top 15 TV episodes of 2010 on some website listings.
On the other side of the coin I'd have to say "Across The Sea" was the weakest of episodes in the season. The back story of Jacob and The Man In Black just bored me and I couldn't get into it at all. I didn't mind Jacob when he was talking to the candidates and guiding them around the island, but the back story of him growing up with his brother didn't deliver for me.
To back track for a moment, a couple of other things that kind of sat sour with me during Season 5 I believe, was when Sawyer wakes up as head of security for The Dharma Initiative he receives a phone call and runs out to the edge of the Island to see the Blue Volkswagen and the reuniting of Jack, Kate, and Hurley. There was never any explanation of how they landed the plane on the Island or how it occurred that they were able to land during the same point in time, 1977. I was kind of angry when I came to this point in the series. Really? He just receives a call and BAM! they all reunite? I thought they could have come up with something better here. This part lacked an explanation.
The cheesy quote of the series has to go to Sawyer when they are planning to hijack the plane and Kate asks him how they're going to fly the plane when they don't have a pilot:
"We're not taking the plane... We're taking the sub."
Ok so Sawyer isn't qualified to fly a plane but we are to assume he can operate a Submarine? A few episodes later this would be explained but I'm sure the majority of the viewers did not know this at the time.
I no longer have Cable as you may know and I'm not missing it. However there are a few shows that come along every few years that I can get into. LOST was one of them. I'm not upset or disappointed with the finish I enjoy shows that are written like this where you have to actually think and not zone out and drool on yourself. So good job J.J. Abrams you kept me entertained for six solid seasons.
Now it will be a few more years before Stephen King's Dark tower series comes to life on the big screen and as a TV series thanks to Ron Howard and company. So I count each passing day like a 12 year old Harry Potter/Twilight mark waiting for what happens next.
