My Week 13 bowling, frame-by-frame

I looked OK in Game 1, but a breakdown on 33 forced us to move, and I was never quite comfortable on the breakdown pair, where my old Hy-Road gave me my best look, but would sometimes over-react to the dry. Ball speed might have been the answer, but I was weak from getting over the flu that I had over the weekend.

Result: 171-145-161=477

Si is bowling better than me now, with a 513 last night, which helped us win three of four. My conversion of the 1-3-10 in the 10th third game was important, as we might have lost total if I didn’t.

After winning four forfeit points against 10th Frame Magic, Let’s MixEm Up is in 10th place, 6.5 points behind Party of Six, who lead Last Empire by a half-point, Spare Us by 1.5 points, and Stacked by two points. Tuckin’ Fenpin will be tonight’s opponents.

My Week 12 bowling, frame-by-frame

There seemed to be more oil downlane than usual last night, which meant I didn’t have to move much, but also made left-side spares tricky, as I missed a lot of them. The two washouts were likely a product of the lane condition, as well.

Result: 163-148-178=489

Our opponents didn’t have a legal lineup, so we were bowling for forfeit points, all four of which we won. Steve had one of his better games, a 135, in the second game to help us.

Something happened last night on one of the adjoining pairs that I’ll mention here: Jim Blyth, our league president, converted the 7-10 split for his first time. Nice going!

After winning one point from Spare Us, Let’s MixEm Up is in 12th place, 9.5 points behind Party of Six, who lead Last Empire by 1.5 points, Stacked by four points, and Spare Us by 6.5 points. 10th Frame Magic will be tomorrow night’s opponents.

Last night’s bowling, frame-by-frame

Moe Morrison suggested that I should’ve stayed in Sunday Niters and left my other league. She may have had a point, because I had, by far, my best night of the season subbing for Peter last night. I struggled a bit early, but was clean after the 4th frame first game, and had at least one strike in the 10th in each, punching out with six in the second game. As I said in the BowlSK comment, “I need more of these on Wednesday night!”

Eric covered my under-average first game with a 252 to win the only two points that were mildly contested in our sweep.

My Week 11 bowling, frame-by-frame

My execution was clearly better in the second game, though I thought I threw good shots to leave the 10s I missed in the third game. The missed 10s were stranger because I made the first two 10s that I left.

Result: 134-180-134=448
Average (33 games): 168
Average for last 9 games: 157
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 533

Si was absent first game again, but did help us win second game for our lone point.

After splitting 2-2 with Striking Gentlemen, Let’s MixEm Up is in 10th place, 6.5 points behind Party of Six, who lead Last Empire by 1.5 points, Creeden’s Mustangs by 2.5 points, and Stacked by three points. Spare Us will be tomorrow night’s opposition.

There wasn’t a standings update because Shawn was late getting to them and scores needed to be corrected for BowlerExpress.

My Week 10 bowling, frame-by-frame

My first game was promising, but then my spare game largely escaped me, though, strangely, I didn’t miss a 10 pin until the very end.

Result: 191-150-146=487
Average (30 games): 170
Average for last 9 games: 168
Next week’s AVG+1 score 540

Composite average (33 games): 171

Si was absent first game, but had a strong third game to help us win third game and steal total. It turned out I needed the second hit in the 10th first game, but didn’t get it.

The lane condition schedule for the Pepsi league has actually been included with the lane schedule, and it appears that it’s the reverse of last year, as Broadway will be the pattern for the 2nd quarter, which starts tomorrow night. As always, the top graph is linked on the pattern name.

My Week 9 bowling, frame-by-frame

Some sloppy execution cost me a decent first game, and I was only able to get over average in the other two. An issue might have been pacing, as Steve was the only other bowler on the pair, with our opponents forfeiting.

Result: 135-173-178=486
Average (27 games): 170
Average for last 9 games: 173
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 514

Composite average (30 games): 172

Team won all four forfeit points, with the team just getting our forfeit score in the first game.
