[rant]carry
« on: March 14, 2009, 04:10:18 PM »
Is anyone else out there sick of going to a tournament and rather than having a bowling tournament, it's a freakin' carry contest?

Whoever straps on the best carry-shoes wins?

I'm so tired of being beaten by 4 or 5 or 6 strikes in a row folded through the nose/brooklyn with only 1 flush in the hole. I understand that my carry is my fault. Yes, sometimes you just get a bad break, it happens, but when you're consistently not carrying, you're doing something wrong. I'm just saying I'm tired of being beaten because I drew the wrong guy and he goes 150 before facing me, then folds 18 strikes in one game against me through the freakin beak, then shoots a nice 129 the next match.

Anyone with me?

I've seriously gotten to the point where I don't even want to bowl anymore because I'm literally afraid I'm going to get humiliated and destroyed by someone who couldn't hit the pocket if you paid them!


Sigh

Ah, right on. Sorry to hear about the spasms.

We just had the doubles on Jan 11 at Harley's.

You should come out sometime and bowl if you have some free time.

I'd love to... Cort(the onehanded man) told me about the doubles, but I couldn't find anyone with a low enough average
