The Post-Bowling Blues

Posted by ScooterJ September 18, 2018 Fall 2018, Week 5 View Score Sheets

Scoot isn't feeling well, so we're going to stick mostly with the Robo-Writeup this week. The fifth week of Fall 2018 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Monica Hufford tentatively picked up this week's high game (199) and series (522) for the women, while Aaron Barber teantatively earned this week's high game (257) and series (609) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 3 & 4: A well-matched pair of rivals gathered as Red Strikes Matter took turns breathing Jeremy's farts with Bowling For Beers. With extra motivation generated by Scott Murdock with his above-average 490 series, Red Strikes collected 3 wins against Beers. Simultaneously, sub Michael Mead with his 568 series reigned supreme within Beers despite his team notching only a single win. Red Strikes Matter remains in 1st place, while Beers remain in 8th.

'Would you like to go back to my house and see my collection of bone art?' Jeremy Berdella asked the young men of Gucci Lane. They were never seen again.

On lanes 5 & 6: With the narrowest of handicaps, 8 Balls had a rendezvous with We Don't Give a Split. Topped by Russell Bingham with his above-average 583 series, with kudos to tentative Most Valuable Bowler Matthew Taylor, 8-Balls earned a clean sweep over Split Not Given. In the meantime, Carl Goetz with his slightly-off 560 series dominated Split Not Given despite his team getting swept. 8 Balls remains in 2nd place, while Split Not Given sinks 1 spot to 6th.

On lanes 7 & 8: A well-matched pair of rivals gathered as Gucci Lane rock and rolled all night and partied every day with one member of BDE while a couple more showed up to roll six days later. In spite of top-billing by Steven Anthony with his above-average 452 series, Gucci got swept by BDE. While that was going down, Jeremy Cline with his better-than-normal 520 series laid down the law for BDE as they swept the competition. Gucci Lane plummets 3 spots in the standings to 7th place, while BDE jumps 2 spots to 5th.

On lanes 9 & 10: In a battle of good against evil, the finally all-present (with shirts!!!) Bowl Movements were flushed by the villainous Serious Bowlers. In spite of top-billing by Conor Clarke with his below-average 456 series, BMs got wiped by Serious Bs. Moving on to the challengers, Aaron Barber with his better-than-normal 609 series emboldened Serious Bs (with props to tentatively #1 Head-to-Head Jonathan Vigliaturo and his tentatively #1 Power-Ranked ass) as they swept the competition. Bowl Movements plop 1 spot in the standings to 10th place, while Serious Bs remain in 3rd.

Finally, down on lanes 11 & 12: In a pairing of teams of similar strength, Teeby Dee found their destiny gripped in the icy hands of Open Frames R Us. Regardless of the star power of David Juiliano with his 452 series, TBD accomplished only 1 win against Open Frames. On the flipside, Monica Hufford with her better-than-normal 522 series oversaw Open Frames as her team took the match with 3 wins. Teeby Dee climbs 1 spot in the standings to 9th place, while Open Frames jumps 2 spots to 4th.

Bowlers rolling into The 200 Club include: Aaron Barber (257), Carl Goetz (220), Dennis Walling (203), Jeremy Cline (202), Matthew Taylor (206), Nick Kinney (202), and Russell Bingham (228)

A new personal high game was set tonight by Josh Rothermel (187, previous best 185). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by Monica Hufford (522, previous best 514).

Monica Hufford claimed the season's women's high series with her 522. In addition, Aaron Barber nabbed this season's men's high game with his 257.

Bowl Movements shows off the latest in Fall fashion

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Russell Bingham came closest), while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though David Juiliano came closest). Neil Hufford staked a claim for the Iron Throne in Division 3, and Chuck Kissee topped Division 4. Finally, Seth Gunderson (Division 2) made quick work of this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Nick Kinney leads Division 1; Seth Gunderson calls the shots for Division 2; Neil Hufford runs the show in Division 3; and JoAnne Barber governs Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

  • First, on lanes 3&4, 9th-place Teeby Dee (hcp 19) will socialize with 7th-place Gucci Lane. TBD is expected to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Gucci is forecast to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
  • Moving to lanes 5&6, 10th-place Bowl Movements (hcp 95) will chuck some balls with 1st-place Red Strikes Matter. BMs might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Red Strikes ought to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
  • Then, over on lanes 7&8, 8th-place Bowling For Beers (hcp 82) will share a couple of pitchers with 6th-place We Don't Give a Split. Beers will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Split Not Given will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
  • Next up, on lanes 9&10, 2nd-place 8 Balls will battle 4th-place Open Frames R Us (hcp 135). 8-Balls might roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Open Frames ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
  • Finally, on lanes 11&12, 3rd-place Serious Bowlers will throw some gutter balls with 5th-place BDE (hcp 89). Serious Bs are predicted to perform well and sweep the series; while BDE is anticipated to drop their average a bit while they endure a rough night.
