Man The Mid West really is different than the East Coast. Our center has been known to throw a fit if someone brings in a plate of home made cookies.
Well, they allow it once per season or they'll let teams bring in cupcakes if a bowler has a birthday. But, if people were bringing their own drinks in, that would cause the same uproar as the East and West coast.

Wednesday Night Established Men's League

Week 15

Still holding onto 2nd place, now 6 points back...so we gained a couple points closer. AND...the 1st place team is playing the 3rd place team...so thats helpful.

581 Series: 180-209-192

X, 8 /, X, 8 /, X, X, 8 1, 5 3, 9 /, 7 / 9.
Inconsistent shot-making. Kept pushing shots to the right and there just isn't a ton of miss room to accommodate that. And I missed 2 very makable spares. Switched to the Ebonite Fireball in the 9th.

X, 7 2, X, X, X, X, 9 -, 9 /, X, X S7 -.
Overall a decent game. Pulled a shot badly in the 2nd. Pocket 7-pin leave on a ball I missed just a board or so to the right. And pushed a shot in the 8th that resulted in a 5-pin leave.

X, 7 /, S8 1, X, X, X, X, 9 /, S8 1, 9 -.
Stayed with the Fireball in Game 3. Only opens were on splits in the 3rd and 9th...until I missed a 10-pin in the 10th. Fortunately, we already had the game wrapped up by then.

Positives
- Took all 4 points.
- Good shots were good.
- Won a card game.
- Two of the three games above average.

Negatives
- Despite having the second highest series (of both teams)...I managed to get beer framed 3 times. So it was an expensive night.
- Targeting needs work. Too many misses right.

Being beer framed 3 times is ridiculous. I literally carry the team and our anchor with a 200+ average bowls a 141...yet somehow I'm buying everyone drinks. Its like the world isn't fair sometimes.
