Oh Yeah, found out that the Ship is cutting out team drinks soon.......oh well that doesn't matter as next season we are not throwing on Thursday and Tuesday's will more than likely be moved to another venue.

Tuesday Darts, Week 11 (3-27-12)

Final Score: Geek & Son 0, Bulls Hit 7. Rob and Woody showed up at the Dolphin Lounge and we had some close games. I want to send a big thank you to Amber who came with Rob and chalked for us. That was real nice of her to do that.

Greg throwing darts

With Amber chalking, it gave me time to make more notes so hopefully this blog won't be too boring.

Woody, Amber, and Greg

I started out my 501 singles behind until I hit my groove and in 4 turns I threw 3 times of 79-81 to catch up and then I finally got the win. The Cricket was a blow out and the 301 I had tied it up 3 times but it got down to Rob having a 16 and I had the dyslexia of a 61. Needless to say, Rob hit his double.

A lot of 80 scores for me

Greg had a little problem and was in the 40 range and Woody prevailed. In my match with Woody, he got down to 50 and I had 20. I looked back at him and said "you do have the huevos" and he nodded yes. I new I had to take out the game, which took me 2 darts. I then messed up and did not get on at all in the 301 game.


With Rob and Greg shooting, Rob had a 75 and he hit the double bull first but left himself 8 which he picked up the next turn. Greg was OK on bulls in the Cricket game.


In out team 501 game, it took Rob and I 3 times to determine the cork, tying with single bulls each time.


Greg was very smart in the team Cricket games and he took out our one game with a double bull.


In one of the 301 doubles, I got us on with a 3.


Overall we lost, but we drug ist out playing a lot of 3 game legs.


No entries for the Honor Roll.

Thursday darts, Week 10 (3-22-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 5, Twitchers 2. Bob, Mike, Thom, and Jim who came in game 5 showed up at Michael's Sports Pub & Grill. Greg did not play tonight so I got Kim Specth to sub for him.


Kim took a while to warm up but then he got in the groove. He showed the rust from not playing but he did well.


Marv was a little rusty also but he also warmed up.


Me, I was on! I won every game I was in and took out the last game of an X (2) with two darts left in my hand. That was worth a $6 win in the last dart pot.


The Honor Roll had me with a 3x2.

Thursday Darts, Week 9 (3-15-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 5, Bud Guys 2. Don, Ernie, and Chuck showed up @TheOldeShip to this:

Drunk and Rude people

These people had no consideration for us and were having fun in their own way. A couple of them almost had a dart or 2 stuck in the back of their head. To top it off, next to us was a wedding rehearsal dinner:

Wedding rehearsal dinner

They weren't bad, just had a small one come wondering over to the dart area to see what we were doing but Marvin and his peripheral vision caught it in time before something bad happened.


Greg had to warm up his first game but then he came back and stayed right with it and won his singles match. He threw good consistent darts. He evne took the last dart pot with a D19 after I had a 64 and threw a 7, 17, and D1 just missing "Tops". He did end the night with two darts in his hand.


Marv had a case of "Ironman" to deal with and a close game as they were going dart for dart threw the 17's.


I shot good! I actually hit what I was throwing at! My last game was Chuck at 260 points and I had 331. I missed closing the 19's and all he needed to win was one 19. I shot, turned to Chuck and gestured to him that I was giving him the game but he missed so I took it upon myself to finish the game for the win.


The Honor Roll had Chuck with a 3x2.

Tuesday Darts, Week 9 (3-13-12)

Final Score: Gaaek & Son 3, Last Minute 4. Ryan and Helen showed up @TheOldeShip  and enjoyed dinner and close matches.


We shot very well. All the games were close and we even stretched it to 3 games in the 301. If our doubling was improved, we could have taken the last game.


Greg had problems with 16's in Cricket while I could not buy a bull.


The honor roll had me with a Ton-21 and a Ton-26 (all 18's). Ryan had a Ton-15.


Code: GB0606600

Thursday Darts, Week 8 (3-8-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 0, AWHFY? 7. Ken, Randy, and Jeff (who showed up late but wanted to play against me) came to Centerfield Bar and Grill and beat us, not a total runaway, but the games were close.


Greg's first game was nice and close until it came down to the bulls. It went 3-3, 3-1, 2-1 and then the loss as his bulls were not on. Also for him being tired and his ankle starting to hurt didn't help.


Marvin was on the bulls, but problems with closing other numbers.


I kept close and I lost both of my singles by 2 bulls.


On a side note, Randy popped out his wrist and popped it back in, but he did throw the heck out of the darts.


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

Tuesday Darts, Week 8 (3-6-12)

Final Score: Geek & Son 7, The Point Players 0. Cindi and Vickie showed up at The Olde Ship and were turned away so we shot out of The Dolphin Lounge. Poor Vickie was in a rotten mood as she just got a cellphone ticket so this didn't help matters much. We were lucky to get a board as the Dolphin Lounge had a lot of teams last night.


I assumed since the last time the pub quiz was going on, we shot darts out of there and things went fine and it was not crowded as there were empty tables in the pub. I guess not as the ladies were turned away after they arrived early to grab some dinner. Greg and I were planning to eat there also so with the drinks and food, the Olde Ship lost over a $100 tab from the dart players, that went to another establishment.


I have written an email to the powers to be at the Ship to see if we could work on a solution to this problem. It is a shame that this happened the way it did and I do not like the idea of having to change home bars if we can't work something out. All I am asking for is to let us finish out the last 7 weeks of the season as planned and have the league schedule around the quiz next season. Can't we all just get along?


The darts went great last night as the results show. Greg took out a 67 with a 17-Bull, I called one of my outs like I did against Greg practicing Sunday, and there was a lot of 'Good darts Dad' going around as a joke. (You had to be there, but it was fun). We did only shoot one game of doubles Cricket and 301 as the night was going long.


The honor roll had Greg with a 3x2.

Thursday Darts, Week 7 (3-1-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 5, Twitchers 2. Mike, Bob, Jim, and Thom who came in on game 5 for Jim were the team they usually are, not that good.


Greg was AWESOME!!! He was behind but then got on the bulls in one of his singles games. I was chalking at that time so I looked back and told him "Churchill". He just nodded and kept on the cork, hitting at least 4 doubles to win the game, never giving up. Greg also got the "Last Dart" pot of $7.00 for hitting the 8 then the double 4 after Marvin set up the 16


Marv had a heck of a round going to 162-162 and 3-3 for the bulls. It went down to 3-2, 2-2, 2-1, 1-1, and finally 1-0 on the favor of Marv.


I shot OK, I shot very good darts against Jim and he gave up and only threw one game in a best of 3 round. He gave up! I can't figure that out, why even show up?


The Honor Roll had Bob with a 3x2.
