Sandbaggers Away!

Posted by ScooterJ August 25, 2015 Fall 2015, Week 1 View Score Sheets

The Fall 2015 season kicked off tonight, resulting in two teams on top, four teams in a dead even tie, and one team winding up a victim of it all. The blind team was, of course, a no-show. Money was collected, humps were given, beer was consumed, and even in the post-Cliff world people still can't resist adding special sketches to the score sheets.On Lanes 41 & 42, the goofily-named Salt Water Taffy faced off against the freshly-named Hold My Beer, Watch This. With a 647 series, including a 268 high game, Kody Karnes held the beer to chew on some taffy for the first two games. But right as Kody started doing his impression of the Chinese stock market with his scores, Carl Goetz and sub Bob Brunker had enough of the sticky situation and both rolled 221 games to secure game 3 and total pins for the Taffy. With their split series, The Taffy and Hold My Beer start the season off in 3rd and 4th place, respectively.Next up on lanes 43 & 44, a mostly-rookie It's A Trap! hoped to make a good show against Holy Sandbaggers, Batman! for their debut. But despite two very close games led by Andrew Finger's 590 series, they wouldn't quite keep up with Phil Schroeder's MVB performance and Aubrey Moren's 577 series. The Trap starts our trapped at the bottom of the standings, while the not-sandbagging Sandbaggers start the season in first place.Over on 45 & 46, another mostly new-team, which renamed itself to 404: Team Name Not Found after they finished rolling, faced off against a half-absent Stephen Hawkings Dance Club. With the 404 error led by Scott Murdock's 518 series and the Dance Club led by sub Jake Parrott's 522 series, the two teams ended up with a 2-2 tie. With total pins factored in, these teams wind up in 5th and 6th place, respectively.Finally, a half-present Split It & Hit It did battle against the blind team, Ray & Stevie. Dennis Blake led the half=Split with a 475 series to sweep. Split It starts the season in 2nd due to total pins.The Tournament of Champions, doesn't start for another two weeks. Because we have a blind team, each division will have one blind bowler rather than concentrating all four blinds into the same division.Bowlers kicking off The 200 Club this week include: Aaron Barber (221), Andrew Finger (200), Aubrey Moren (226), Bob Brunker (221), Carl Goetz (219,221), and Kody Karnes (268)Because of a corporate event, we will not be bowling the week of October 6. The schedule will be shifting a week to compensate, we'll update the schedule on the web site soon to reflect the change.There are two new features on the web site. First, we have an Instagram feed in the right hand column now. Tag your pictures with #GutterAlley and they'll show up in the feed. Secondly, comments on posts are working again after 2+ years of brokenness. :) Also, the poll is back, with a question about bowling fees.
