Thursday Darts, Week 14 (4-19-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 2, AWHFY 5. Randy, Ken, and Jeff showed up at Centerfield Sports Bar and Grill and shot the heck out of the bulls-eye.


I was OK but throwing one trip out of every 3 darts wasn't enough to get it done.


Greg had an interesting match-up against Jeff. First game Jeff was the Bull keeper and Greg had the numbers:
Greg won that one. The second game it was turned around and Jeff had the numbers and Greg had the bulls.


The Honor Roll had Greg with a 3x3, Ken had a 3x2, Jeff had a 4x3, and Randy had a 3x2 and two 4x3's.

Well dear readers, it looks like this will be the last blog for a while as Greg is taking off the summer season and I don't have a partner. I want to also thank Marvin for being my teammate for a lot of years, it's been fun dude, enjoy your dart retirement.

Tuesday Darts, Week 14 (4-17-12)

Final Score: Geek & Son 2, Last Minute 5. Ryan and Helen showed up at the Dolphin Lounge and kicked our Arses! Helen did mention when we took a break "I am playing with a bunch of pussies", come on now, we need a break!


Night went long and Ryan hitting 7 19's in one throw in a single's game of Cricket didn't help.


The Honor Roll had Ryan with a 3x3.

Greg is taking off the upcoming summer season so he can enjoy his summer, going on motorcycle rides on his days off, kayaking at Catalina, etc. I really hope he enjoys himself as if I had the ability, I would do the same. I am looking for a partner so I can continue to shoot and my feelers are out there looking.

Thursday Darts, Week 12 (4-5-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 5, Bud Guys 2. Don, Ernie, and Chuck showed up at one of the worst places to throw darts, Michael's Sports Pub and Grill. Greg took the night off and Kim subbed for him.


I say that Michael's is a bad place to throw darts for numerous reasons. Take a look at this picture and I will " 'slpain Lucy":
This was taken from the line and you can see that the area is in a traffic area, the traffic to the restrooms and for the staff to take dirty dishes to the back. With a lot of people drinking, this can be quite a challenge at times. Notice the "broken" punching machine in the background. It is so funny how it "breaks" every time I show up there to shoot. With it not broken, people, aka "macho men", try to show off and take no consideration of us trying to hold a league match. In the picture you can see an opening to the upper area where there is one of those basketball games. Last night some people were playing the game, a beer placed on the railing in the opening, a bounced ball, and presto, beer being spilled on the table below where my open darts case was, my sweatshirt, and the score sheet for the night. Lastly the carpet that is below the dart area has no padding underneath and when a dart bounces out of the dried, worn out bull hits the ground.....more about that later.


I started out the night slow but then I caught my groove and won my first game. The second game I had a good lead until one of my darts bounced out of the bull, hit the floor, and I bet the tip of the dart causing a noticeable burr on the tip. I could not find my sandpaper and my fish-hook sharpener was lost a while ago by either Greg or I so I was thinking about the tip, not my game and lost the second one. The rubber match was all me as I found the sandpaper and corrected the tip and just threw good darts.


Kim started out strong but Ironman Ernie (Fe) did he thing and beat him. Marvin started out slow but came on strong to win his singles. Kim did take the last dart out pot and he took his dollar out and handed me the rest of the pot ($5) for his sub fee.


The Honor Roll had everyone but Kim get a 3x2, something you don't see every day.

Tuesday Darts, Week 12 (4-3-12)

Final Score: Geek & Son 2, Tom &  Bob 5. Tom and Bob showed up at Centerfield Sports Bar & Grill and beat us, but we kept all but the Cricket games close.


We did try but they had our number when it was time to shoot Cricket. We just couldn't get it together.


I was able to take out a few '01 outs when it counted. In the doubles 301 games, I was left with 57 both games by Greg. I took out the first one with a 19-D19 with a dart in hand and the last one with a 3-14-D20 by the skin of my teeth.


The Honor Roll had Tom with a Ton-40 (to start the night off with), a 3x2 and a 3x3. Bob had his almost Ton-80 with a Ton-35.
