Final Score: Da Geeks 6, Twitchers 1. Jim, Thom, and Mike showed up to face Da Geeks minus me as I have my fireworks stand to deal with. Greg subbed in and did well.
Greg reported to me he stomped Jim the first game and had it tied at 172 the second game when he threw a 3x2 to win. Way to go son. He almost won the last dart pot but missed the D-9.
All I can report is the Honor Roll with Greg with a 3x2 and Mike with a 3x2.

Tuesday Darts, Week 6
Final Score: Geek & Son 1, Bison Higgs 6. Mark and Kyle showed up and gave us close games and took a lot of 3 games legs to decide.
The night started great as I found $5.00 in the parking lot when we got there! Karma is good.
Mark showed an interesting talent to the bartender Josh at The Shippe tonight. He had him get a deck of cards and amazed all of us with his card tricks, or slight of hand as he showed how he controlled the cards to perform the trick. It was fantastic and sorry I didn't pull out my phone when he was showing how it was done.
Back to darts.........
Greg is getting much better and likes Top's! In his 501 game when he won the leg, his first five throws were 45, 74, 79, 81, 60. That is an excellent average.
I threw a lot of bulls tonight and some good numbers. The Honor Roll shows it. In my first cork of the night against Kyle, he threw a single and I said "OK, That's how you are going to be" and hit the center cork.
Houston we have a problem........His name is Kyle and he becomes a problem when it is his turn to chalk.
#1. I got in the zone and hit T20, T20, and was getting ready to repeat for a Ton-80 when he "wooshed" in response to the second trip and that did throw me off. I did politely tell him thank you and don't do it again please. Mark did also mentioned to him that was wrong.
#2. At the ship, there is a small stool that you can sit on during a singles match but during a team game it is frowned upon. We had to chalk the first team game so the first thing I did was to move the stool under the ledge so it was easy to switch chalkers during the game. When it was their turn the stool came out and it took forever for one to stand up move out of the way, then the other sits and then you have to wait as he gets settled in. After the first game and midway into the second game I had enough and had them move the stool to get the game moving. Greg told me later that pissed Kyle off, oh well.
#3. While chalking, Kyle will react with a head move he he thinks the dart might have been good, and looking up at the tv between throws. Quite annoying.
Their team still have the PMW tendencies but not as bad as the first time we met.
The Honor Roll had me with a Ton-01, Ton-20, and a 3x2. Kyle had a 3x2.

Thursday Darts, Week 5
Final Score: Da Geeks 2, Here For The Beer 5. Julien, Ed, and Justin showed up at The Olde Ship British Pub & Restaurant and even though we lost, we still had fun. And I want to thank the wonderful pub for getting a new dartboard for us. Thank you Simon, you are the best.
I don't know what the heck is going on with my darts. I am not consistent and tonight I couldn't hit the friggin' bull. This season I am not happy. I need to practice more, but I have no place to put the board inside and outside there is the wind to contend with. I at least had two Tons in the 1001 game.
Marvin used his bar darts until he saw one of the plastic shafts was bent and get his other ones out of his car. He did shoot better with those.
Rodman was good as usual, but he was against Julien who is always good, even though he is a PMW!
The Honor Roll had Rodman with a 3x2 and Marv had a 4x3, with his non bar darts. Justin had a round of 9's against me with 17-17-17.
Code: RMB2320100

Thursday Darts, Week 4
Final Score: Da Geeks 4, Bud Guys 3. Don, Ernie, and Mark showed up with Chuck trailing behind with his arm in a sling to give support to his team. He really abused that arm of his, how??? Take a guess.
I threw poor darts. I did have a couple of good throws and was actually winning against Ernie until he woke up and started to hit his trips.
My teammates we on though which helped us to get the overall win for the night.
No entries for the Honor Roll this week.

No darts this coming Tuesday as it is a bye week for us.

Tuesday Darts, Week 4
Final Score: Geek & Son 0, zip, nada, Ship Faced 7. Kim and Scott fought the traffic and finally arrived at the Santa Ana location of The Olde Ship British Pub & Restaurant and gave us VERY close games, but those bastards won.
I am so friggin' proud of Greg. His darts are AWESOME. He was hitting big numbers consistently and he made the cork his bitch! He had a 173 in his first 501 game and hit his Ton-37. His next turn he hit the D-18 and said it felt good to be holding 2 darts in his hand knowing he won the game.
The games were close except for my cricket game with Scott. He was so far ahead, all he was shooting was bulls for bull-buster points. I knew it and was just trying to repeat my Thursday's round of 9's. Scott is a good guy, a bastard sometimes, but fun to be around. Kim got upset at Scott not closing the 16's so Scott complied and of course won the game.
The Honor Roll had Greg with a Ton-01 and a Ton-37. Kim had two Ton-40's and Scott had a Ton-25, a High Out of Ton-08, and a 3x2.

Thursday Darts, Week 3
Final Score: Da Geeks 3, Twitchers 4. Bob, Mike, Jim, and Thom (who came in at game 5) showed up at Michael's to watch the Mavs take the game, and take the game against us.
Rodman shot OK, it was Bob who prevailed though. Marv shot some good darts and he was the hero finally taking out the last game.
I shot good darts tonight! My doubles are coming back a little bit as I aimed and shot the D-19 when I needed it. I also shot 3 trip 16's (I get a "dangley" because of that). I was a PMW for that throw but after I hit the first one, I decided to hit another and when I did that, I decided :
"what the heck" and went for #3. they were all within a dime diameter on the wire near the trip 7. I was honest in the 1001 game when the chalker thought I hit the D-2 for the win, but it was on the wire in the D17. Close but no cigar.
The Honor Roll had Marv with two 3x2's and me with a Round of Nine's, T-16, T-16, T-16. Mike had a 3x2 and a TON-80.

Tuesday Darts, Week 3
Final Score: Geek & Son 1, The Pitchers 6. Kevin and Joel showed up to "Taco Tuesday" at Michael's Sports Pub and Grill. The food was good but my darts sucked.
My doubles are currently non-existent and that is quite embarrassing. I was hitting good numbers in the '01 games. My first game in fact, for the first three throws I hit T20 with the first dart. I would get a good out and then poof! my doubles disappeared. I was close, but close does not count. I need to find a place to hang my board rather than outside where the wind plays havoc on a throw. I did get a 38 on the first throw in a team 501 so they might come back, if I practice.
Greg threw great darts. (he likes D-15!) He was more relaxed and just came from the Dart Shop with new shafts and flights. He kept this up until the Karaoke started....
From now on when I hear the song Rio, I will remember the pain of my ears bleeding and how embarrassed I was for the guy dishing us the pain.
The Honor Roll had Greg with a Ton-01 and a Ton-34. Joel had a 3x2.

Thursday Darts, Week 2
Final Score: Da Geeks 2, Here For The Beer 5. Gail, Ed Julien, and Justin (who cam in at game 4) showed up at Throwbacks Sports Bar & Grill and we had a lot of fun with them, even though they won.
There was a problem with the darts falling out of the board for both teams. It was a good board, it was the force field around it that was causing the drops.
I shot OK. I did actually win won against Julien, but that PMW (see I did mention it Julien) beat me. I did take out the last game, a 40 with a 5, 3, then a double 16 after Marv had a 80, shot a 20, thinking it was a trip then a double 10 leaving me "tops".
It is a lot of fun shooting against them as they like to give us crap, but we know how to give it back.
The Honor Roll had Marv with a 3x2 and Rodman had a 4x2. Ed had two 3x2's, Gail had a 3x2, and the PMW Julien had a 3x2.
