Well it was a night of ups and downs. It was the first night on the Scorpion Pattern.  As usual, I was throwing strikes in practice, but when the game started I couldn't buy a strike. As a result I threw a lousy first game. I kinda got it back in the second game, but missed a couple of easy spares. In the third and fourth games I should have shot 200 games, but again I missed a couple of easy spares and I had to settle for back to back 190 games. A decent night overall, but I was really disappointed in myself. I was looking forward to having more oil, but I just didn't bring my A game.

Game 1: 158 - Not what I was hoping for

Game 2: 175 - Better, but just  couldn't seem to hit my spare shots

switched lanes

Game 3: 196 - Had two opens. Missed a 6 pin and it cost me big.

Game 4: 194 - Had two opens in this game as well. Missed 2 really easy spares, and again it cost me. No one to blame here but myself.

On to next week. Turned 48 on Saturday. Time to kick some butt. We'll see what happens
