It's Official. We Don't Suck!

Really! We don't. Sure, we were standing tied for 13th place out of 18 bowling teams, but it's not because we're bad bowlers. We've really just gotten some bad luck in which teams we've been pitted against. Every week we go one-on-one with another team for two games. A point is awarded for each game won, and two points are awarded for the overall pin fall winner. We had played four times and had already faced the two-times league champions, and a few other top teams. We lost almost all games, but if you compare our pin fall numbers, we'd have beaten 3/4 of the teams in the league.

Anyway, last night we faced off with the number one ranked team in the league. They're a whole 3 points ahead of the 2nd place team and that's huge! Sure, they got us in the first game, but only by a measly 9 pins. We were encouraged. After all, these were they guys to beat. Then, we went on a tear! We destroyed them by something like 30+ pins in the second round and walked away with the overall win 3-1! Barb and I (That's my ball's name) even managed to bowl a 141! We may not be making it to the finals, but we can stand pround in that we beat number one! That's our team in the pick. We may not always have the skills, but we've got heart (and beer, did I mention beer?)
