Tuesday Darts, Week 7 (2-28-12)

Final Score: Geek & Son 0, Tom & Bob 7. Well Tom and Bob showed up @The OldeShip and showed us how to lose, lose badly that is.


It wasn't that we shot poorly, we didn't shoot as well as they did. We did have them in some close games, but then it got back to the problem Greg and I have of not being able to close, or start as it was in one 301 doubles. My new darts worked good, although they did not fly as well as I hoped they would have.


I shot ok, Greg shot ok, Tom & Bob shot better than OK. Greg was strong in his first Cricket with Bob, but he got stuck on the 16's and Bob took it from him.


We must have been really into the game as I jumped my turn in the first double 501 then Tom followed with jumping his turn.


The Honor Roll had me with a Ton-21 and a ton-32, Greg had a Ton-20. Tom had a Ton-40 and two 3x2's. Bob had a Ton-40.

Wednesday 401 Dart & Social Club

Wednesday afternoon, around 3, there is a group of dart players who are carrying around the tradition of King Arthur's afternoon 401 time at the C'Est Si Bon. Greg and I happened to stumble across it and they welcomed us with open arms and put us in the rotation.


It was a lot of fun and Greg really enjoyed 401 as each teammate has to double on. Our first match was lost to an "On and Off" which was something you don't see every day.


If I still am out of work, we will do it again next Wednesday.

Thursday Darts, Week 6 (2-23-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 2, Bud Guys 5. Don, Ernie, and Chuck came to Michael's and gave us quite a night.


In my singles against Don, I had to come back big time! I had 2 of everything and he ended up closing those numbers when I needed to score. I finally got to one bull each and he won the fist leg. I ended up coming back to get the second and then the third I was solid and got the win, Whew!


Greg had a good match against "Ironman", friggin' Ernie, but he was FE all night. 


Marv was on tonight which was good.


Greg and I got funked with George Clinton and had a great doubles, but lost in the end, but we funked out!


The last game we sucked until I hit the Ton-40 to get us down to an 87 which Marv turned into a 30. We didn't win, but we had fun trying.


The Honor Roll had Marv with a 3x2 and a 4x3. Chuck had a 3x2.

BTW, Michael's is a bad place to shoot darts.

Tuesday Darts, Week 6 (2-21-12)

Final Score; Geek & Son 0, Bulls Hit 7. Rob and Woody showed up @TheOldeShip and kept quiet during the pub trivia and kicked our arses.


We were close, but the other team pulled it out at the end and, well it was fun playing against them last night. At least I got to see this on the way there:

The Honor Roll had me with a Ton-01, Woody with a Ton-33, and Rob with two 3x2's.

Thursday Darts, Week 5 (2-6-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 1, AWHFY? 6. Randy, Ken, and Jeff showed up @TheOldeShip to prove they are still fighting for the #1 spot.


I got my arse kicked bad by Randy, he was on fire. I tried to take him down in the first singles game by hitting a bunch of 15's to take the point lead, but nooooooo.


Marvin on the other hand was strong, getting 5 trips in one of his games.


Greg was strong, but not strong enough.


The night was theirs as the score shows, but we tried. The doubles with Marv and I got down to 2 bulls for either team would win the game, and randy steps up and hits the cork for the win. That was how it went all night.


The Honor Roll had Marv with a 3x2.

Southern California #Darts

There was a nice discussion tonight about this article in the LA Weekly and if it would affect the Pacific Dart Association . No it won't.

Now Dino didn't like the comments made by KiminOC and here is his response.

I like the response Kim made and the comment made by her partner:

LOL, Kim Bird is now accepting donations to the "Sue Dino Zaffina for Libel fund"

Dino,
I appreciate the fact that you need to defend yourself by writing a letter to the editor of the LA Weekly. I, however, find it quite interesting that you a person of such high moral, ethical and legal stature would not write accurate information in your rebuttal. As someone who has gone to "Law School" I would think you would make sure your facts are accurate or even hire a fact checker to make sure what you write is truthful. I don't think just checking the PDA association website to see who is a board member currently is sufficient to name a previous board member. I, Kim Bird, was NOT on the PDA board at the time of the incident. Nor did I post any comments until this moment on the LA Weekly board, ie I AM NOT KiminOC. Perhaps you should make sure you have the correct names when writing something that is going to be published in the media. Writing on a message board is slightly different than publishing in the media. You would associate the KiminOC comments with me as my name is slightly above the quotes. You also released a press release stating "Uncalled for negative comments and in the case of Kim Bird (KiminOC), board member of Pacific Darts Association, an out and out lie." That would mean anyone else who read it would think the same. You have soiled my reputation in the dart community, which I believe I am highly regarded and you have tainted my reputation in the Southern California Area in which I live and work. I believe that is called LIBEL Dino. If you cannot get a name correct in your rebuttal how is anyone to believe that you in fact are truthful in any other part of your letter. I seriously doubt your credibility. I hope that you decide to sue me next, because sweetheart, that is a case you will definitely lose.

Kim Bird

One idea that came up in the discussion was to have a tournament to help benefit the now defunct SCDA in their issues and if necessary to help Kim out in her needs.

Here is yet another Dino dump: Dino M. Zaffina's Southern California Darts Association Battle Turns On Plumber Milan Sabata

Thursday Darts, Week 4 (2-9-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 3, Twitchers 4. Bob, Mike, and Thom showed up and they beat us!


Actually they beat me. I lost every game I was in, dang it. I did try, i tried hard in my second singles match vs Bob, but I could not finish. Bob said it was one of the best games he had played in a while.


Marv and Greg were on, but Greg had Thom, so he didn't work that hard. Thom did take out the last dart of 32 with two darts, 16, D8. Very Impressive.


Marv was determined on the bulls which the honor roll shows.


The Honor Roll had Marv with a 3x2 and Bob had a 3x3 and a 3x2.

Tuesday Darts, Week 4 (2-7-12)

Final Score: Geek & Son 3, Last Minute 4. Gary Peterson and Helen were the team that showed up at Michael's for Taco Tuesday and terrible Karaoke.


As a team, Greg and I were great! Yes the score shows that we lost, but at the end of 6 games we were tied, our double weakness hindered our start in the 301 doubles. Greg and I have been practicing in the mornings when he gets off of work 2-3 times a week. This hour or so does help us and Greg is getting much better with the math and knowing his outs. All roads could lead to a 32 he is finding out quite well. His bulls were on last night which helped.


The reason I feel we were so good is that Gary is an A1 player subbing for an injured Ryan. I said it was OK that Gary subbed for Ryan, knowing Gary's caliber, and it stepped up Greg and my game and we were on top of the world with our showing.


The Honor Roll had Gary with a Ton-40 and Helen with a 3x2.

Thursday Darts, Week 3 (2-2-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 1, Bud Guys 6. Ernie, Mark, and Chuck showed up without Don as he was on a business trip.


What can I say except I was on, Greg tried, and Marv showed up. I di call one shot as I was getting frustrated and I wanted to end a game so I leaned over and said to Greg, "F-it, I need a 3x2" and then I stepped up to the line, hit the double, then hit the single and had a dart left in my hand.


We go the curse of Ironman Ernie (FE) and then Chuck is quite improved after his rest last season.


The Honor Roll had me with a 3x2 and a 4x3. Chuck had a Ton-80 in the '01 game.

Tuesday Darts, Week 3 (1-31-12)

Final Score: Geek & Son 7, The Point Players 0. Vicki and Cindi are a couple who make up the new team and I have to say it is quite interesting to say the least, OMG!


It was a late night as Vicki was very interesting to shoot against, she being the more feminine  one of the 2 and likes bulls.


We went card, true we only shot one team Cricket game and they gave us the team 301, but we did win which meant we finally closed some games! I almost had a skunk in my 301 single against Cindi, but sh got on when I was down to 50.


The Honor Roll had Greg with a Ton-21 and Cindi had a Ton-05.
