11 November 2006 - Rain Rain Rain

ONES: Rugburn, Horfun, Sandman, Seven
TWOS: DT, H, Rickey

Game 1: ONES 214 : TWOS 262
Game 2: ONES 389 : TWOS 341
Game 3: ONES 442 : TWOS 269

There was a thunderstorm brewing and at 2pm, the skies opened up and the heavens rained down on us. Through the use of modern technology aka SMS, messages were sent out to almost everyone to inform them to stay at home, and to call off the game. However, since most of us live only for saturdaysoftball and have no other plans on a saturday afternoon, alternate plans were concocted. More SMSes were sent out and a new time and place to meet up was decided. 4pm, Henderson Road SAFRA, Bowling Alley... Those do look like cricket scores... but no, we only went bowling.

Game 1 saw utter domination by Rickey and DT, both cracking the century mark to carry H. H had probably the worst game of her entire bowling career, but thankfully, she did not let it affect her as she picked herself up to score well in the second and third games. Rugburn showed that he had some power, but the pins were not falling well for him. Horfun and Sandman showed good consistancy, but sadly the drains saw more of their balls than the pins.

After a 50 pin win, Seven, the late arrival was assigned to the ONES. It was a mistake. The TWOs should have traded for Horfun or Sandman. Seven had some skills on the lane, and he combined well with Rugburn. Even so, the TWOS managed to get at least hundred points each to take the (Average) win, but not the total win. This time, Rugburn, Horfun and Seven were showing their stuff, with Sandman falling far behind.

Game 3 belonged to Rugburn. He took The Lebowski award with an astonishing 140 pin game. Seven was close behind with 132 pins and both Horfun and Sandman put up high 80s numbers to seal the win for the ONES. Sandman was the king of 9s in game 3. He constantly dropped 9 pins in each frame and could not drop the last one for the win. The TWOs started off strong with a strike a piece, but struggled to maintain the lead. They even moved on to lighter balls as the balls got heavier with each roll.

The Lebowski Award: Rugburn
The Firststrike Award: DT
The 9pin Award: Sandman
Most Hats Thrown: Rickey

We went to a new place for dinner after bowling. Looks like this might be the new 'chicken burger'/'blooies' destination for post ball dinner. The food is as good as blooies, but as cheap as chicken burger. American food with American portions at coffeeshop prices.
