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.
