Line
I, personally, had a very, very good week of bowling. But, my team did
an outstanding job in Week 8. Everyone did real well. This performance
serves as a great momentum-builder for Week 9, as my bowlers will be going
up against a VERY tough team.

First, my team's performance: It was great all-around. It couldn't have
gotten much better in any stat. More on that later. My team shot 769 pins
scratch minimum in each game. I just loved every minute of it.

Now, MY performace: It had it's share of ups and downs, but I ended up
doing really, really well. I got at least 3 strikes in a row once in each
game, while putting together a 4-in-a-row streak twice, with one coming
in Game 2 and another one coming in Game 3.

Those streaks of 4-in-a-row couldn't have come at a better time. Before
hitting those great shots, I was doing poorly in both Games 2 and 3, but
with those 4-baggers in place, I averaged 184 in those two games.

I was also consistent, unlike the week when I shot 569 which came from a
236.

The only lowlight of this series was on the opposing team when one of their
bowlers shot a single-digit score.

As for my team's dominating performance:

1. My team's minimum margin of victory was 130.
2. My team won total wood by 449 points.
3. My team would have won 4-0 with zero pins handicap.
4. My team bowled its best performance of the season.

I could go all day, but I didn't want to make this page take forever
to load -- especially for those folks with 14,400 BPS modems.
