Thursday Darts, Week 3

Final Score: Da Geeks 5, The Twitchers 2. Jim, Bob, Mike, and Thom (who came in at game 4 for Jim) showed up at Michael’s Sports Pub & Grill to challenge us, but not that much of a challenge.

Before I get into the match I first need to talk about the venue. Michael’s is a typical sports bar as shown by this picture of only some of their televisions.


The dart area is well lit and the boards are in good shape.


I mentioned that the service was slow and last night was no exception. I waited for over 15 minutes before the bartender finally came up to me and asked if I needed something. She was right, I did. I placed my order and started to warm up waiting on my dinner.

This is tequila lime chicken breasts on spinach and artichokes with rice…yummmm.

Well now for the throwing of the sharp pointy objects. I was practicing my 19’s when I threw this:

The 3 trips are nice, but they are in the 3, not the 19!

I did shoot fairly well and finally won my first singles match against Jim, but that is not saying much. My grandson Bradley could beat him! One thing about Jim, when he gets lucky, he gets lucky. In the team game he shot a 145, all twitches, but he did put pressure on us. (We lost that game. Marv missed on a 32 and left me 16 but Bob was up before me and hit his D17 for the win with the 34 takeoff).

Thom……what can I say about him? Well I could say he likes drinking more than shooting darts, and that is no lie. He was having great difficulty keeping his darts in the board and off the ground. Oh well, he is a good guy.

Bob is Bob. He is smart not shooting Tuesday with Kim as he is a much better player than that.

Mike is the newest member of the team. Good guy, friendly, but he needs to figure out what to shoot at. He likes closing numbers while he is down in points. He will learn, after all this is only week 3. He does shoot pretty good though.

The Honor Roll had Bob with a 4x2.
