Ebonite man

Wasn't sure I was going to be able to go this week. My back has been cramping up after shoveling snow on Saturday. Two a few Advils and decided to give it a shot. This feeling was eerily similar to the way I felt last season which kept me out 4 weeks. Did some extra stretching before practice and this helped alot. The lanes were stripped and oiled fresh since there were alot of kids on the lanes. Decided to go with the Virtual Energy to start with the heavier heads. This worked quite well and I ...

This was the first night of the second half and the team was bowling unopposed as there is a vacancy team in the league to get the league up to 16 teams.

It's been a while since the last entry with the Thanksgiving holiday and Christmas shopping. The first half is winding down with only 2 weeks remaining after this week and the team has cracked the top 5. Had 39-40 this week, and most everyone on the league hates this pair. I am the exception and this is one of my favorite pair. The shot is not easy as the left lane is about 5 boards tighter than the right lane. After shooting a 139 the second game the last time I crossed this pair, it looked like ...
