I guess I was the bug...........
« on: June 15, 2005, 01:29:30 AM »
We have all heard that phrase "Sometimes your the windshield, sometimes your  the bug"  

For the last two weeks I have been bowling some sweepers to tune up for my trip to ABC this weekend.  Last week shot 709 to qualify 3rd. I won my first match and lost my second by 1 pin. 210-211 (the hdcp got me).

This week I shoot 738 and qualify 7th.  In qualifying I go 211, ball change then shoot 279(8 pin)-248 and get swept in all brackets.  Lost that second game to a 280.  In match play win first game 245-210 and then the high qualifier and i hook up.  We are both on runs of X X X X X.  I get #6 to the dry and a bit soft and take out 4 leaving 3-4-6-7-9-10 and take out the right side for 4-4 count.  He does not miss until the 8th kicking out a 7-10 and sparing out the 10, goes sheet for 279 and I go sheet for 260.  

So all in all i avg 248.5 and lose.  Ouch it hurts being the BUG.  So much for house shots

Hey Nod, don't feel bad.  I once lost a bracket when I shot 296. (to a 297)

I'll never forget a PBA tournament in San Jose - somewhere around 76 or so...Mark Roth lost a match 299-300 - then turned around and won with a 149.
