That's become our mantra for bowling these days. 5 and 2, 5 and 2. We have been able to win by that score each week, keeping us in first. I think we might have had a few 7-0's in there but someone keeps saying "5 and 2" and we always end up losing that game in which he said it.
We bowled the 3rd place team (our arch nemesis who won the first half) last night and expanded our lead on them from 5 to 8 points. The 2nd place team also lost by the same margin and are now 5 points behind us with the 4th place team moving up to 3rd at 6 points back. We have about 5 weeks left of the regular season before position night.
I never did get my average last night but was close and also had a chance at getting the rare triplicate. First 2 games were both 198's and in the 3rd game I needed a spare and 6 in the 10th to get it again. Unfortunately I jinxed myself by saying "I haven't had a split all night" after watching the 13th split show up in that game alone. Of course I left a 6-7-10 split in the 10th, which I just barely missed for a 190. Bummer...
In other news... I'm thinking about buying a 2nd PS2 for the living room. When I finished the basement I moved my other one down there, and I do like the set up down there but sometimes I need to stay upstairs and would like to be able to play there as well. Since the PS3 is showing no signs of lowering the hefty $600 price tag and I can pick up a PS2 for $129 it may do for now. Plus I keep getting new games at incredibly cheap prices. Last weekend I picked up Fight Night Round 3 and Call of Duty 2 for a combined $31 at Target. I can get 4 games for the PS2 for the cost of 1 PS3 game. It's a matter of quantity over quality at this point.
You might ask, why don't you get an XBOX 360? Well, I have a reason and it does make sense to me. You see, I went through a lot of work to rid my house of the cable company (Charter) a few years back (DirecTV and AT&T DSL internet service). I'm also trying to do the same with Microsoft products. I now have 3 Mac's and just one PC that I need for work. Buying an xbox would be inviting additional evil into my home and I just can't do it.
Fantasy Baseball Keepers... today I had to turn in my 5 keepers for this season. After having my best ever finish (2nd place) I found it difficult to pick only 5 guys I want to keep. There are at least 10 guys I would love to have back again this year. A couple of guys were obvious. Albert Pujols and Chase Utley are monsters, no doubt on them. I went young with the other 3 in keeping stud Twins catcher Joe Mauer, hot shot kid SS Hanley Ramirez of the Marlins and Angels mid-season call up Jerred Weaver. Draft is March 26th.
Today is also the Brewers exhibition opener against the A's. They have a decent shot at making the playoffs this year, IF the key guys can stay healthy.

I can't say they were tough conditions but there were an extreme number of splits on both sides last night.
I'm not sure what would cause certain people to get more splits but they had two guys getting splits and we only had one!
So even though we did not bowl GREAT we bowled better then they did at that is what counts.
Better to win by 5 every game then 100 in the long run!
The lanes did dry out very rapidly last night. I didn't expect that and it affected me for a bit. I did get lucky a number of times where I could have had a split.
14 combined splits in game 3 is a LOT!
But you can get the XBox modded and load that sucker up with emulated games. Not tht I would ever condone that type of thing. Nor am I thinking of doing it. No sirree.
Just another example of how people have to modify microsquish products in order to make them not ms products.
Well seeing as how you're an Apple guy, I may have to ask you the questions that I never got answered from a friends supposed "Mac guru"...

You asked for it...
Should I just buy it from Apple, or possibly somewhere like MacMall where I can get a package deal with some other software? What about rebates? Are the really beneficial in the long run?
Speaking of software packages, what’s the difference between Boot Camp 1.1 and Parallels? Is it that Parallels doesn’t require you to have to reboot when you want to switch between XP and OSX? If that’s all it really is, then Parallels seems to be the way to go.
I’m thinking I’ll get the 1 GB of RAM and 80 GB of memory. I think that’d be good enough for me right?
I've gotten mine from the Apple store in Milwaukee and also from CompUSA in Madison. Same stuff both places.
Never really see rebates on Apple products. Everyone has the same prices, doesn't really matter where you go.
From what I understand about Boot Camp and Parallels is exactly what you said (though you wouldn't be able to do that with Vista do to a license restriction on virtualization).
1 gb ram and 80 gb hard drive is ok but you can get a much bigger hard drive on mac's these days (my wife's imac has 250 gb, my macbook has 80).
