Thursday Darts, Week 13 (4-12-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 3, Twitchers 4. Jim, Bob, and Mike showed up at The Olde Ship and they actually won!


Greg had an easy time with Jim because after he beat him the first game, Jim gave up and gave him the rest of the singles. Marv had problems with 16's and I just did not have enough to beat Mike.


The Honor Roll had me with a 3x2 and Bob had a 3x2.

My game was a little off last night and I lost my singles matches against the girls!!! Yes I lost against Vicki!!! OMG!!!! I did go 3 games but WTF??? I lost against the girls!!!! Yes I know Vicki was just shooting at the bulls but scoring an average of 50 points a throw, but I lost!!


Greg was Mr. Bull last night as this video shows:

What can I say but "Super Happy Dart Time!"

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.

Thursday Darts, Week 11 (3-29-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 1, AWHFY? 6. Randy Ken, and Jeff showed up to The Olde Ship and kicked our Arses.


Not a very spectacular night, I was able to beat Jeff in 3 games and that was about it.


The Honor Roll had Randy with two 3x2's.

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.
