WEEK 36 RESULTS

Points Won: 18 - Points Lost: 9

We wrapped up the regular season by enjoying our first favorable outcome since week #23 in mid-February. We won the first two games from MO but lost the third. We had the edge in total pinfall and we earned ten match points. Quinton earned two points in absentia because league rules provide that when two absent bowlers oppose each other (MO's Andy was absent also), the team winning the game earns a match point.

We finished the final third of the season in last place. Our only hope of winning the league championship is through this weekend's Last Chance Tournament. It was announced that we will begin Saturday at 10:00 AM. If we can survive the tournament on Saturday, we will return for the playoffs on Sunday.

WEEK 34 RESULTS

Points Won: 7 - Points Lost: 20

We had Kevin subbing for Quinton again this week but the lineup change didn't shake us out of our long slump. Our total pinfall was nearly identical to last week (2247 vs. 2246) and we scored five more points but we were swept again. We remain buried deep in last place with a record of 73.5-196.5.

Many thanks to Kevin for coming out and standing in for Quinton.

Our spirits have been low for several weeks. No doubt we've been down because we haven't been bowling well. Still, we should be able to get our competitive fire burning again. Let's make an effort to get our energy back and enjoy what we're doing.

WEEK 33 RESULTS



Points Won: 2 - Points Lost: 25



I was slow to update the blog with last week's results but I figure none of us were particularly interested in our worst beating of the season. Battle of the Pro Shops II went to The Bowler's Advantage by a score of 25-2. Ouch!

Though we lost the first game, we bowled fairly well with a score of 825. It went downhill from there with scores of 744 and 677 to finish the series. We're now in last place with a record of 66.5-176.5.

WEEK 32 RESULTS

Points Won: 5 - Points Lost: 22

It was another rough week for Team PBS. Quinton was out of action for a second consecutive week. Since we didn't have time to find a sub, we had to suffer a penalty of twenty pins per game. This week's opponent was Beast Mode, one of the toughest teams in the league, so the deck was stacked heavily against us. As one might expect under these circumstances, we were swept again. We failed to reach 800 in any of the three games. Five individual points gave us a score of 5-22 for the night.

Our record for the final third dropped to 64.5-151.5. Our record for the season is 363.5-473.5. Our sad bowler with the 7-10 split has become a regular feature on the blog. It's been eight weeks since I was last able to put up the Garrett-Victory photo. We have about a month to get ourselves sorted out for the Last Chance Tournament.

We had some shots we'd like back but overall we did okay. The problem was High Flush bowled quite well. We were swept with the final score being 7-20. This dropped us to 15th place with a record of 43-92.

WEEK 25 RESULTS

Points Won: 11 - Points Lost: 16

This was the opening week of the final third of the season and a rematch with Team 3 whom we bowled two weeks ago. Unfortunately, we weren't as successful this time. Each of us bowled better than we did in last week's position round but we still came out on the short end this week by a score of 11-16. (In our previous meeting with Team 3 two weeks ago, we held the 16-11 advantage.) Our record of 11-16 puts us in 11th place.

One thing that did go well for us was the lineup change that had Quinton and I swap positions. Had we kept our regular lineup, the score would have been 9-18 instead of 11-16.  I would have lost the second game which Quinton won and Quinton would have lost the third game which I won. The outcome in the other games would have been the same.

WEEK 24 RESULTS

Points won: 9 - Points Lost: 18

We entered this week's position round in sixth place which matched us up with Team 16 who held fifth place. Both teams were far from their best in the first game but we had the greater struggles as Team 16 came out on top 774-675. We dusted ourselves off and evened the series with an 814-787 win in the second game. Our resurgence didn't last long as Team 16 clobbered us 840-729 in the rubber game of the series to take two of three. They also had the edge in total pinfall by a score of 2401-2218 and  defeated us on points by 18-9.

WEEK 23 RESULTS

Points Won: 16 - Points Lost: 11

This week we had Team 3 on the schedule. Quinton was out of action but Kevin was kind enough to step in which saved us from using Quinton's average minus a ten pin penalty per game.

We earned a lopsided win in the first game by a score of 915-804 but Team 3 turned the tables on us in the second game with a 778-878 thumping. Thus, we had a split with a lead of only 11 pins entering the rubber game of the series. Team 3 cooled off considerably in the final game while we were able to hold form. This allowed us to finish the night with a 788-730 win while also seizing the points for total pinfall.

By winning 16 points and losing 11, we improved our record to 160.5-136.5. We have a position round next week. We were 2.5 points behind Team 16 and 5.5 points ahead of The Four Horsemen before last night. Was 16-11 enough to move us up? We should know by the end of the day.

We rebounded from last week's horrid performance to post our two highest games and our highest series of the season. This helped us to attain a record of 22-5 for the night and it pulled us out of our two-week skid. Our record improved to 90.5-71.5. What a difference a week makes!

WEEK 17 RESULTS

Points Won: 3 - Points Lost: 24

That hurt. None of us had a good night and it's tough to tally many points when the entire team is off its game. We were 3-24 this week which dropped our record to 68.5-66.5. After our six week resurgence, that's two bad weeks in a row.

I am very unhappy with the way I've been bowling. This week, our opponents were essentially punting four points to me and I fumbled away three of them. For whatever reason, I have been squeezing and clutching the ball. I'm not having this problem in my leagues on Monday or Friday. I'm averaging 195 and 193 for them. My struggles on Wednesday nights are exasperating. I'm going to do everything I can to sort myself out so I can get back to making positive contributions to the team. I know I can do better and it's high time I did.

Team PBS enjoyed another strong night as Garrett scored a 700 series while Brandon and Quinton trailed not far behind. Our score of 895 in the third game and the series score of 2558 were season highs. This earned us 18.5 points versus One Time who earned 8.5.

We now stand at 58.5-22.5 in the current segment of the season. We were only half a point out of first place entering the evening. When the league stats are posted later today, we will learn if this week's performance was enough to vault us to the top.

The first Battle of the Pro Shops between Pinole Bowlers Supply and The Bowler's Advantage started off with a fizzler littered with splits, washouts and low scores. Quinton and Brandon were able to carry us through it to a 755-708 victory.

From that point, Team PBS was better able to adapt to the conditions where Team TBA continued to struggle. Team PBS followed with victories in game 2 (819-792) and game 3 (829-705) to earn a series sweep and a total score of 23-4. This boosted our record to 40-14 and almost certainly bumped us up a few places in the standings. The official league stats should be available within a few hours.

WEEK 13 RESULTS

Points Won: 17 - Points Lost 10 

We knew we had our work cut out for us as our opponent this week was Beast Mode, the league's top team for the first part of the season. Quinton's job sent him out of town but we were fortunate to have Kevin Beber step in for him.

In the first game, we shot 851 which was one of our high scores of the season but we were topped by Beast Mode's 888. We didn't let it get us down and we battled back to post our high series for the season. It was enough to win the second and third games plus total pinfall. With our individual points, the score for the night was 17-10. That's a very respectable performance against one of the league's toughest teams.

That's more like it! Quinton gave us a big lift by breaking out with a 266 in the first game. We won two of the three games and led in total pinfall for our best night of the season. Our record for the night was 18-9. That boosted our record for the season to 80.5-162.5. Will it be enough to move us out of the cellar?

WEEK #5 RESULTS

Points Won: 6 - Points Lost: 21

Our slump continued as Team 3 came out on top 21-6 last night. We were hammered hard in the first game 835-769. The second and third games were closer with scores of 854-830 and 734-705 but Team 3 prevailed each time for a three game sweep. All we could muster were 6 individual points which were far short of our goal. Our record for the season is now 43-92 which I suspect will leave us in last place.

OPENING NIGHT

Points Won: 13 - Points Lost: 14

We didn't exactly get off to a hot start. Well, Garrett did, with a 706 series. I felt good in the beginning but struggled most of the night. Somehow, we managed to go 13-14 for the night with only Garrett firing on all cylanders. We picked up six points for winning the second and third games plus the individual points shown below. We could have salvaged a few more points in the last game but I killed it with five splits and a missed ten pin.
