FINAL League Reminder of Season 4!

Ahh all good things must come to an end. Well tomorrow night THIS IS IT! Gutterballs Final Roll of the season.


This is Gutterballs “One Shining Moment’!



The pin is tipped
and there you are
you're bowling for your life
you're a rolling star
And all the years
no one knows
just how hard you worked
but now it shows...
(in) ONE SHINING MOMENT, IT'S OVER THE LINE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, THERE FROZEN IN TIME

But league is short
and the lane is long
in the blinking of an eye
ah that turkey's gone
And when it's done
strike or gutter
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew...
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED DEEP INSIDE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW YOU WERE ALIVE

Feel the beat of the juke
feel the grease on your ball
it's more than a saukville
it's more than a strike...

And when it's done
Strike or gutter
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew...
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED FOR THE SKY
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU WERE WILLING TO TRY
ONE SHINING MOMENT....

Compliments of Associate Commissioner Matt Esselmann:

March Madness = March fatigue

Tony being the true fan just could not miss Xavier's game against Kansas St. He was all set with a bachelor's paradise waiting for him in the garage - was that 4 televisions you had set up?

So he had to do some quick bowling to make the tip off. It was a thriller, but Xavier lost in double overtime. Sorry Tony, I hope that 30 pack treated you nicely. But I digress. (but after 4 years of trying He did finally find his name on the BIG BOARD (Posted from 2 weeks ago)

(JC Still sits high on top! Damn thats some good bowling)

The definition of fatigue is - extreme tiredness, typically resulting from mental or physical exertion or illness - You could say that about Tony's games - that's what you get for bowling three games in about 58 minutes.

Not much else to write about this week but I will try.

Harkrider has officially come to accept his name, however it did take me a few minutes to explain the proper pronunciation. It's pronounced HARKRIDER. Come on Harkrider!

Ess was consistently shitty this week (156, 156, 157) thank god he rolled a hambone in 9th and 10th to squeak out that last game.

Did Ashmaster try to slip in a jam song?

Crain being a daddy once again, bring those kids down and get them bowling early - Tiger's dad did it, you can too. Just don't teach him all that other stuff.

Junior had an interesting shot of the night. He rolled one right through the head pin and left the 7-10 dangling. They dangled for a second and both tipped to the right like they were connected by a string. That's what I call a courtesy strike. Junior what's your cheat code? Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start?

The numbers were fairly plain this week except for Mikey - he has had a hot hand and almost bowled another 600+ series for the second week in a row, but fell short by 12 pins (588). Nice try Mikey. Use Junior's cheat code and you might have a chance.

We have a nice little battle for the season turkey leader - with three hunters in the 20's - a record for the Gutterballers.

500+
Mikey - 588
Junior - 512

Steph - another solid week with a 468

(Thats a shiny new ball!)

The days are getting longer and nicer and our days of bowling are limited - so let’s end it strong!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Announcement!

BE THERE this Thursday night! All good things must come to an end. This Thursday will be the last “official” roll of the season. So lets make it a party! Bring a dish, LETS GET NUTS!

WOW, now that is some bowling!

The lanes where greased to be had this week! It seemed like everyone was posting serious numbers this week.

On the ladies side everyone showed an improvement on their averages and the dudes had 5 bowlers break the 500 mark!

Enough of the babble lets look at the numbers;

High Game:

Dude: Game one Mikey said thanks for coming everyone but tonight belongs to me!
Opening with a turkey in game one the rest of the league began to leave Mikey alone. Kind of like not talking to a pitcher during a no hitter.

Then strike 4, 5, 6 (Brooklyn), Mikey was getting nervous feeling the pressure. Strike 7 (Saukville), Oh this is getting serious.

JC was texted the news. He replied with a good luck on that 300! This was all the jinx Mikey needed. Leaving the 8th open. Hell of a run and a 255 game one.

Ladies: The power couple tried to keep it going. Jaime set the pace with a 165 in game one. But Karen came out from her side of the bar to join us this week! With Jaime's number posted Karen took aim. Game two, 183 and in game three she tossed a 182 just for good measure.

Series Total:

Dudes: Come on the guy rolled a 255. We going to split hairs here? Mikey doesn't top the Willies board but he does take this weeks top honor with his impressive 627! Hats off to you my friend.

Ladies: Not only can she mix one hell of a cocktail but this girl can rollllll! Karen posts high series special lady with a 499. The real battle was for second place. Ashmaster had one of her best weeks with a 440, but Jaime doesn't give up titles very easily tossing a 441. Nice week ladies!

How do you measure up?:

League wide average’s: Dudes: 161 (+1) Special Lady Friends: 129 (E)

Most Improved Bowler

It's Saaaaandra about Beionaldi ahahahaha heehehe bumping her average 7 pins to 112!

Biggest Dip:
Not today Willie! Today the lanes were had! Nice bowling leaguers!

200 Games:
Mikey 255, 209
Ess 203
Tony 206

500 (+) Series:
JJ 511 / Jason 511 / Ess 526/ Tony 560/ Mikey 627!

450 (+) Series Ladies:
Karen 499

Best Shot of the night:
Ashmaster showing off some skilz knocking down a 4/6-10!

NOT SOOOO Best Shot of the night:

wow, this is tough but the league office is going to go with Mikey's 8th frame in game one. SOOOOO Close!

Quote of the night:

Harkrider taking notice of his new nickname
Ess Yells “Harkriderrrr!”
Jason, nervous laugh ha ha ha ha

Hope you enjoyed the recap as much as we enjoyed living it.

See you on the lanes!

Compliments of JC:



She's a good girl, loves her bowling
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Mikey
Loves brewers and her blue ball too

It's a long day livin' in Peee Dub
There's a neighbor runnin' through the yard
And he’s a bad boy, 'cause he don't even see her
he’s a bad boy for breakin' her tub

And I'm free, I'm free bowlin'

All the bowlers walkin' through willies
Move west down Harkrider BLVD
And all the bad boys are smoking in the corner
while all the good girls sitting at the table

And I'm free, I'm free bowlin'

I wanna roll down over third arrow
I wanna write down a tur-ky frame
wana free bowl out into nothin'
Gonna leave this lane for awhile

And I'm free, I'm free bowlin’

Getting towards the end of the season we seem to be sitting around 8 bowlers the sport obviously has more importance to some more than others. We did have a newbie to the league and well a newbie to the sport all together. Welcome Kal opening with a 261 a new mens league record... a 261 series that is the lowest bowled ever as far as I can see. It's all for fun anyway and we had that. 5 turkey kills, 3 by Iron Mike nice work. Now on to the numbers

High Game

Dude:This one opens up the night by Mike with a 221 with Ess and JC trailing by 20.
Ladies:Silly Morgans, always taking the back cheese. Jaime was untouchable bustin out a 179 in game one.

Series Total:

DudeTake a guess, Iron Mike with a 576 and JC trailing by 9. Nice bowlin
LadiesHoly Cow show us your bowling skills! Just 13 shy of a 500 nice 487 Jaime.

Most Improved Bowler

In this case it is Bowlers Jaime Behm improves by 7. She's carrying quite a load you know, Congratulations!

Biggest Dip

Ess and Tony share the honors plenty of time to pick it up.

Weekly Reminder , Week 16

March Madness begins this week at Willies! Can you stand the excitement?


I think we need another theme night coming up. The League office is asking for some suggestions rolling into March/ April. With the season winding down (sad but true) we need another good theme night.

Tomorrow is Dave Didier’s Birthday but late notice for Didier Real Estate Theme night

The 11th: Johnny Appleseed Day

18th: Day one NCAA Tourney: Joe College theme night?

25th: Elton John's Birthday “bedazzled sunglass theme night” / Freedom Day in Belarus?

Put on your party thinking caps and bring the League Office some ideas Thursday.

SEE YOU AT WILLIES!

Gutterballs Bowling Term of the Week:

(Clearing up some Esselmann controversy)

Dead wood: Term used for a pin that lies on either the lane surface or in the channel, and is out of reach of the pin sweeping mechanism. The rules of ten-pin bowling requires all dead wood to be removed before the next ball is thrown.
