Mike tried to get me to buy into his shenanigans today.. the game before the championship he was limping around acting like he was hurt, trying to make me feel comfortable for the final.. Didn't work like the previous weeks. Usually in the previous weeks he gets my spirit all high saying stuff like "You're going to kill me today the way you're bowling", and further on when I start off well into the championship match stuff like "Oh this one is over, you got this". Well I didn't listen to it today(We still do encourage each other to bowl well, neither of us want the other to bowl bad during the final match, or during any other point)

Bill it was one heck of a night!!! How many times on the way to a BIG GAME, have you had to stop and deliver a 15lb baby boy!! Just my luck!! He was cute, almost remined me of myself when I was born!
Anyway it took a LOT OUT OF the Old man!! I don't seem to have that huge reserve I use to have!
Bill I stand with my right heal, on the center dot, 3 step (I think), go to my video and let me know, if you want.
I aim at the second arrow... during the challange!!! I did try a lot of different angles and balls tonight, before the challange!! The alley was getting dry from Jason rolling his,
sponge ball down my track!! I knew it was a fake ball, and he was desperate to win!! He must have gotten a huge sponge, cut it in the shape of a bowling ball, put some finger holes in it and maybe some fishing weights in the center! O yes,,, he didn't think I noticed him squeezing his sponge ball into a bucket!!
That Bill was the slickest form of cheating I have ever seen!! ( Not to take away from his above average score what ever it was)?? OO and yes HE dosen't use my track, he stands left and throws across the middle!
Bill can you believe he painted that spone black like a bowling ball!! geeeeeeeee....
I will be ready next week, with some secret weapons of my own.
Off to the hospital to see how may name sake, that I delivered today, is doing! ( the childs name is Michael Bolling Alley! ( I guess Bolling was a great grandfathers name on the husbands side!) What a honnor to have named that beautiful ball of joy after me!!
Jason, all I have to say to you is this: 3 to 1!!!
FOR I GRANTEE YOU IT WILL BE VERY short lived!!!! So dance, be happy, brag, sing the song of victory, for soooon it will end!!! And then it will be:
Old broken down man 4
Jason 1 I got lazy Friday, it happens to some of the best, (like myself)! I will be in top form come next Friday my young friend! BEWARE!
I am working out like in the Rocky Movie.... even playing that great sound track in the background,,,,,,,, 99,,, 100 wow,,, 100 one arm push-ups!!! (whith my bowling arm jason)!!!
Now for my 500 sit ups... 1...2 ....3... (to be continued)!

I often go against conventional wisdom. At times it even works. When leaving tens consistently try moving your feet and target right. I usually go 5 boards at a time. Either move to 15 & 10 or even 10 & 5. It takes real testicular fortitude to go that far out but the reward is worth the risk.

thanks bil,,, as I mentioned I used the new ball the whole game against Jason, the V.G. Nanno! I love the ball and it looks sweet going into the pocket, but the 10 pin is turning into a huge problem with that ball. The Undefeated looks a lot like the V.G. going into the pocket but for some reason it seldom will leave a 10 pin. Bill I move few board left, (coulden't go right or it would have gone left of head pin. I moved up a foot, and that didn't feel comfortable since I start in the middle anyway, and use a only 3 steps. Its a great ball, unlike the Vivid I had, that was flat going into the pocket. It looks great, you would swear it was going to be a strike! Bill do you think a different finish would help?? It does seem to work better when warming up, lots of strikes,,, then as the oil breaks down, it seems to start leaving the 10! If you remember last week in league against Jason, I had a 235, with the V.G. nanno first game. then it started doing the 10 pin thing again like yesterday! Jason and I played for 2 hours, and then had our play off game for the championship! And in that game I had at key points in the pocket sweet shots that left the 10? I have never really had that problem with the Undefeated? It bowls about the same even at the end of our 2 hours???
Could it be the V.G. Nanno just needs more oil and is less effective then the undefeated as the oil breaks down.
And if thats the case, why does the Undefeated seem to bowl well from beginning to end of a two hour practice?? I realize a ball is only as good as the person behind the Wheel!! But I want to figure this out, and I will, with help, and practice!
