im on a 4 person team and we are in 3rd place.we could do better but they dont care.all they do is talk on the phone of bring their friends from work.i want to lead this team to first but i dont know what to do now.everytime i say anything to them they tell me its just a game.we have lost alot of games by 20 pins or less.they both ave around 140 the first game then they dont break 100 again.i try to help them with their shot but it goes in one ear and out the other.what can i do is it just me ?

Play along with them. It seems to me that they are leaning on your performance to see if they win or lose. Just do what they do. Stop caring and start acting like an idiot. When they you bowling bad, maybe they will step up. If not, think of the fun you can have fooling around in last place. lol

It's all in the way you look at it... Suck it up and take the challenge - to carry your team to victory without any help!  Although aggravating now, wouldn't it feel so much better to know YOU were the one that won the league despite the slackers you bowl with?  Look at it as a challenge, and look elsewhere next year - maybe recommend a nice mixed league they could bowl in.  Good Luck!
