Game 1: Game 1 was what I needed. The 173 was my first average game of 1998.
With 7 marks in a row from frames 2-8, it was something, and it included 2
strikes in a row, first for me in 1998. This marked my team's only win in
Week 16. I thought I was going to get a 470+ Series, until disaster
struck in Game 2.

Game 2: Game 2 was like no other. That first sentence may suggest that I did real
well, but that was definitely not the case. My only highlight was a 6th frame
strike, and that was it. I missed easy spares as if my eyes were closed. I got
absolutely nothing in this game. Not even 100, not even one spare. I wasn't
too pleased, but I wasn't too angry, either. I just hope I don't do
it again. My team was trashed in Game 2.

Game 3: Game 3 was kind of like Game 2, until the very end. I started out with
2 open frames, 2 spares, and 4 more open frames. After 8 frames, I had 95. I
started calculating what I would need for a 500 Handicap Series. Then, I
calculated what I would need for a 400 Series. In the 9th frame, I bowled a
strike. Now I knew I would get at least a 500 Handicap Series. In the 10th
frame, I bowled another strike, which made me think of a possible 400 Series.
Then, I got another strike, which made me think about getting my average for
Game 3. I got yet another strike and I got a 155. It was the first time that
I got 4 strikes in a row in quite awhile. Whew! Unfortuantely, my team got crushed.

Summary: This was my best week of 1998, but not without it's consequences.
The 85 game is my worst since Week 1 of the 1995-1996 CJ2 season. My average
is in near freefall. It's almost like when I reach my target average, I do
bad for a long time. Also, my team has lost 13 of it's last 16 games, but
The losses in Games 2 and 3 weren't all my fault. Team 4 just did real well.
