Week 7: Fat Daddy's Pump

Welcome Back Bowling Enthusiasts!!

After what seemed like a two year hiatus, Team Each Hit was back in action last night on Sawmill Lanes. Unfortunately, their performance was at best rusty. Team Each Hit bowled as they always hope they could bowl on the first week of the season when they are trying to skew their handicap... which means they bowled MISERABLY. The only problem is, this isn't the first week of the season.

As a measure of pity on the part of their opponent, Fat Daddy's Pump, the match ups this week amazingly stayed pretty close right down to the end. In almost every game, at some point in the 8th or 9th frame, the teams were dead even. It made for some very exciting bowling, even if the scores reflect that of 5 year olds.

The tight scoring and the very friendly members of Fat Daddy's Pump made for one of the most enjoyable losses of the season. It was as if we were bowling against our crazy Uncle Carl and the three goofballs that work for him at the gas station. Just imagine the high jinx!

On a positive note... three good things were uncovered during bowling last night:
1. I hope many of you realize that I make up nicknames for some of our more memorable opponents. Unlike Team Each Hit, most teams are not as fun and do not bowl under an alias. So, when using unlicensed nicknames to describe people you see weekly, I guess it's inevitable a slip up could occur. So last night, to the delight of everyone on Team Each Hit, The Cooler accidentally addressed one of the most infamously named opponents using the internally made up nickname from Season Two, Crazy Legs. The good sport that he is, Crazy legs laughed it off. I've never seen Lefty get redder quicker than in that instant. HYSTERICAL.
2. Team Each Hit was able to experience PBA style bowling. Some how the entire alley emptied out while Team Each Hit was still in the 7th frame of their last game. Amazingly, bowling alleys get mighty quiet when there are only two lanes being used and it is a very odd sensation being the only bowler out there.
3. THERE'S ONLY 11 MORE DAYS UNTIL ST. PADDY's DAY!!!

Next Week's Game: Team Each Hit vs. Spare Me, 9pm @ Sawmill Lanes.

Go Each Hit!!
