League Night

Since last night was opening night for our bowling league, I thought I'd pass along part of the commissioner's message that he handed out this morning.

.

It was not a strong night on the lanes for me - I blame too much oil on the lanes (yeah, I throw a straight ball, so what?), a lack of off-season conditioning (my thumb hurts like hell today) and some bad luck for my first two games (114, 118) although I worked out the kinks a bit in game 3 (162).

.

I did get a turkey, throwing strikes on my first three balls in warmups - I should have just gone home at that point.

.

Without further ado (names have not been changed to protect the innocent), this came over from the commish:

.

Opening night marked the coming out party for the ladies as Jamie and Melissa looked to make a statement in week one. Season 1 champion Amanda also continued her strong performance from last year.

.

On the other side the guys spent their off season doing anything but improving for a new season. Nine guys showed up last night, eight returning regulars and with the exception of Esselmann who rolled his average from last season every guy dipped. Looks like the guys had some dust on their balls they needed to shake off, look for a stronger showing in week 2.

.

The vibe in the house was somewhat mellowed by the absence of league greats, the Weltons, Levins, Stevo and Willy P. Jr. ran the Jukebox in Neal’s absence and kept the lanes rock’n with a mix of guns, def leppard, Robert Seger, AC/DC and some of the night's best action came during Fergalicious. That Jr has moves.

Records/ Milestones:

.

None.

.

· side note the league office would like to publicly take this time to congratulate Mikey “the Cobra” Morgan and Jamie “Special K” Kirchen on their recent verbal contract to spend the rest of their lives only loving each other.

.

Same time next week at Willie's Lakefront Lanes in Port. I'll expect Goldy to dodge his league duties once again in exchange for "work".
