Bowling battle with our arch nemesis

Last night we took on the axis of evil and the good guys prevailed once again, winning 2 of 3 games to take over sole possession of 1st place at 22-6.

After a first game that saw the Grinder, Soup and KS carry us with 200+ games to a 57 pin victory, we were poised to win the 2nd game holding a commanding 70 pin lead going into the 9th frame. Unfortunately we gagged down the stretch and it came down to me needing 2 strikes and 2 pins to win. Luck was not on our side as my first shot crushed the pins, except for the stupid 8 pin which just slid over 4 inches and wobbled like a drunken homeless guy looking for a cardboard box to sleep in. We ended up losing that game by 1 pin.

3rd game we came back, led by my 246 and won by 30 or so to take 5 of 7 points. I ended up with a 611 after my 168 start while the Grinder posted a team high 643.

My hip held up fairly well, though it is a little sore this morning. I have to bowl again tonight and Saturday night and then hockey Sunday night so Monday may be a tough walk in to work.
