After winning two points from Team 1, “It’s Jim’s Fault” fell into a tie for the lead with Team 5 (whom we split 4-4 with to start the season), with “Lucky Thirteens” three points behind in third. We bowl “Budweiser” in the coming week.

Tonight’s highlight for me was definitely the first game, in which I saved what might have been a disaster by first converting the 4-10, and then running the next five strikes for a 206. I still can’t help but think it could have been better with better spare shooting, however.

Result: 206-173-171=550
Average (18 games): 172
Average for last 9 games: 185
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 522

The team lost points for the first time in four weeks tonight; indeed, it was our first losing night of the season, as we only won the first game.

After winning all eight from “Shake ‘N Bake”, “It’s Jim’s Fault” now leads by five points over “Lucky Thirteens” and by six over Team 5. We will be bowling against Team 1 in the coming week. Also, although none of us individually were in the top two, we did have the high scratch team game and series this week, and both the game and series are second best scratch on the season.

What could be said for tonight was that things were more or less together, for a change. I’d probably would like the 10 pin misses in the third game back, but I had enough strikes to cover for my mistakes, with the result being three deuce games. 😀

Result: 200-211-203=614

Jim was absent again, but a bowler on the other team was, as well, so it was a wash. The three of us present all had over-average nights, with Lou leading the way with a 701. Team won all eight for the third week in a row.

After winning all eight points from Team 9, “It’s Jim’s Fault” leads by four points over “Ghetto Stars” and by five over “Lucky Thirteens”. “Shake ‘N Bake” will be our opponents next week.

My Week 4 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)

I don’t think I ever really had the right lane tonight, and three splits in the third game, which has become something of a problem, cost me. On the bright side: Over 75 percent on my makeables tonight, including all six of my single pins.

Result: 168-194-142=504
Average (12 games): 162
Average for last 9 games: 168
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 498

We had Jim again after he was absent last week, and he shot 705 to help us win all eight again.

After sweeping “Wyld Stallyns”, “It’s Jim’s Fault” now leads the league by two points over Teams 9 and 5 and by three over “Lucky Thirteens”. My team bowls against Team 9 (the Boermans, best known formerly as “Wild Samoans”) in the coming week.

My Week 3 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)

Felt I made more progress tonight, and it showed in my total, but my physical game fell apart third game and I never mustered much.

Result: 195-185-138=518
Average (9 games): 160
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 489

Team won three games comfortably, but Michael Gainey for our opponents had the highlight of the night on our pair, a rare conversion of the 2-8-10 in which he sent the 2 into the 10 and got something to come back for the 8.

We actually bowled against a team named “N’Sync” last week (“Lucky Thirteens” are actually team number 14), and, after winning six points from them, “It’s Jim’s Fault” are in a tie for 4th with “Wyld Stallyns” (our opponents tomorrow night), Team 9, and Team 5. “Lucky Thirteens” lead the league after Week 2, a point ahead of “Ghetto Stars” and Team 1.
