good week in pool

Had a good night as a player last week. I won two outta my three games that I played Tuesday night. the team as a whole didin't do so well. two of the players on the team were winless against the team Willies 3.  Wish it could have been better but next week is a well deserved buy week. A buy week is a week the team has off from playing.

PoolLeague

Had a better night playing last week, ended up winning 2 outta 3 games. As a team we didn't do so well as we lost. wish it would have turned out better but didn't happen. One player on our team has continued a losing streak going 2 for 15. 

Rough Night

Tuesday night started off a as good night. One of our regulars was out so we called in our sub. I rolled a four with the dice so i had the fourth game. I t was a guy i played last year. I did alright against him last time and he played alot of defense. I started out the game playing a little defense myself. This was a bad idea because he didn't. He beat me pretty quickly so i decided to play differently my second game. Well same conclusion i lost again. The third game was going well but instead of playing a bad move i did like i was supposed to do and lost. In my second game one of my balls was blocking a corner pocket. My opponent hit his ball into mine to clear the pocket. This is usually a bad gesture shot. I let it go and should have played like he did and maybe would have won a game.      

Tuesday at Boondocks

We all headed down the hill to Modoc, to play the team of Boondock's. As it happened i drew first to play which is never what i want. Well the first game i played great, no problems winning my game. The second game didn't go so well. The way I was playing looked like i had forgot half of what I knew. I ended up losing the second game and feeling pretty rough about it. The third game I was holding my own and set myself up for the win. I hit the ball way harder than i should have and ended up scratching on the eight and losing the game. A new player we picked up because we lost one made me feel a little better by losing all three of his games. I hope he picks up his game for Tuesday though because he is 0 for 9 right now.  

way better n ight

Tuesday night we played Freeda's 2 team in Renault. I had a rough start of the evening by locking myself out of the house and having to get a teammate to pick me up. then I didn't have my checkbook so i had to bum some money from the same teammate. I rolled a five so I was last and it must have made a difference somehow because i made easy work of my first game. I was left with the eight ball by the end of my first round. I shot two more times because of bad leaves on the eight. The third time shooting i put the eight in for the win. Same story for the second game with three times shooting. The third game my opponent was left with a three ball cluster in the corner pocket. He ended up knocking in the eight ball on accident leaving me with three wins for the night. The wins made me feel better about last week when i lost all three. The team for sporto's played very well and we defeated Freeda's two. It was a bad day that had a silver lining.
 

bad night

Tuesday night the sporto's team played the team from Modoc, Illinois.  this team is made up of younger guys and a girl and you could tell they practice alot. We lost one of our full-time players and now a sub became permanent for us. The new player and i both lost all 3 games. I don't know what happened except for that I lost. It was a bad week for me and now i have won 3 out of 9 . The last 2 years i've had the highest percentage of wins on the team. The year is just starting and i have time to catch up but i better get to it.  

Another Tuesday Night

We played Willie's Tavern last night at Willie's. This week i must have found my mojo because i won 2 outta 3 games with ease. The first game started good with a nice lead and the tables turned a shot before the end. I had the 4 balls and my opponent just had the 8 to shoot in. I shot through the balls well until i Had the 6 and the 8. I had an easy 2 shots for the win but missed the first shot being worried about my leave on the 8. When shooting league you want to make your ball but also put the cue ball in a good place for your next shot. Sporto's team ended up winning 8 to 7 which is good for the team. Some of the players haven't come into the swing of things yet but we always get better as the season goes by. Willie's table at his tavern is in my opinion the best table out of all the bars that are involved.
