Week 1: 2Slo2Bowl

Week 1 Stats

Welcome Back Bowling Fans!!!

I know you have all dearly missed your beloved Team Each Hit over the past 8 months... but never fear... they are back and better than ever! This year is bringing a lot of great changes for the team, including a new blog, new jerseys, some new nicknames and a new sub (due to the impending and frequent travel of the bowler formally known as "The Cooler"). Hopefully all of this is a recipe for success!

For those of you who have fallen off your bowling A game, week 1 in a bowling league is generally a very good week to bowl sub par. This poor bowling, often done intentionally, allows a bowler to establish such a high handicap that they can just coast to victory for many weeks to come. This handicap tampering is what Team Each Hit likes to refer to as "the plan."

Since Team Each Hit is made up of four not very highly skilled bowlers you would think following "the plan" would be relatively easy. You would think that bowling numerous bad frame in a row would come to them like second nature. But just like many a teams, on any given Tuesday, what is expected of them is not always what they deliver.

So Team Each Hit struggled to follow "the plan" as only one bowler per game seemed to be able to mess up their game. Congratulations Pink Shoes on messing up so royally in game 1 that you bowled your highest game in 3 seasons, you'll never be able to recover. Nice work Tummy (formerly known as Lefty) and The House (formerly known as The Cooler) on peaking so high in Game two that even if you did throw the other games your averages were ruined. And great planning Double Bagger, the amazing third game was just what you needed to ruin all the work you put into "the plan" in the first two games.

Now generally these feats would be compliments, but "the plan" for week 1 is the exact opposite of what the strategy is for every other week. So while Team Each Hit may have taken an early lead in the league standing with a stellar performance, what they really did was set themselves up for a 5 week up-hill battle until the handicap tampering evens itself out.

Go Each Hit!!
