8 G-Love
7 Velvet Fingers

We edged out the Velvet Fingers with big nights from Micky Denise Han and Johnny Magyaros, who beat "Ether" -- one of their highest-ranked players. Ether was upset with a foul that I didn't call on Johnny. I didn't see any foul. Even if it was, he had a pretty easy table to run out of only four balls. He elected to re-rack and then Johnny kicked his ass after a pretty good timeout (pat myself on the back). The decisive 8th game was an 8-ball runout against Pabi and Ether by Enda Yo Life and I. Enda hit two spectacular shots to give me really good shape to finish. I'm really happy that 8 ball dropped. Jeremy played well except for a few shots against Jumie, but got no love from the JR table. Greg lost one but held onto most of his points. I went 2 for 3 and went up 8 points. June/Micky had a big night, Enda had a big night, probably deserved to beat Pabi, and Johnny had a big night (although he blew an 8 ball -- hit them softer, team).

All in all, a great win. Next week is Estyle or Woodstock, can't remember and soon we will reschedule with the Wonky Triangles and get our team ranking up!!

9 to 6 Bless U v Dolce Vita

Jim Dewey's team is a lot of what's good and right about this IPL. Fun night. Our team didn't play so hot but an ugly win is better than a loss.

We have to makeup our game against the Wonky Triangles because I'm sick of seeing a "-" in our score.

In case you didn't know already, we are doing a Ladder at RAndy's. We have been thinking about starting a 9 ball league and Jeremy suggested doing a ladder and I think it's a fucking great idea. So here we are doing it. If the link above doesn't work please copy and paste the following code into your browser and register. We have six players as of writing this. Cash and alcohol prizes.

This week, G-Love (all g-loves are off!) will be travelling to dolce vita to make it brutta vita. See you all Wednesday. All consider going to the Bulldog Sunday tournaments. They are really fun and you hone your game playing all those sharks.

Postponed Game

It looks like our game this week against the Wonky Triangles will be rescheduled for a Sunday, perhaps this coming Sunday. Text me if that's inconvenient for you.

Bless U Players are Rude!!! Oh yeah, baby. We are making a name for ourselves boys and girls. Let me welcome Julia to the team. It's nice to have a high 1800s-player added to the team. She plays well. I have seen her play before and watching her last night know that she is the real deal. Now we have two awesome female players. She's class. A great addition to an already great team.

Last night was some sloppy play (3 losses of game from 8-ball scratches, I jumped one 8 off the table like a dipshit -- oops!) and yet we still did really well as a team. I love that about our team. Anybody can have a shit night and not harm the overall score too much. We keep grinding away wins, even after beginning 4-1 down. Grit. Meddle. Quality.

In a personal way, the other team wasn't the best sports. They called a phantom foul against Enda. He whiffed the ball and didn't touch it and they were sure he did. So sure they took ball in hand even though Jeremy the referee said it wasn't. After they won that doubles game they didn't even acknowledge that there was any funny business. I just don't like some teams that much. Who cares what I think? The funny thing was that the overweight one told Enda that we are rude. We let them have ball and hand they didn't deserve and got called rude, lol. The witch isn't aware of irony. What can you do?

The positives:
Johnny! Julia!

The unluckies:
Micky! Enda! Ralph!

The invisible:
Jeremy (what's new?)

The Good Chi:
Yu Yang

Next week we are home again! Home sweet home against the other Scrooge Team!

G-Love starting to roll

G-Love 9

Pretty good win last week. I think everybody is kind of rounding into form now and we should get on a little bit of a roll even though we are about to play some good teams soon. I would really love to beat Woodstock this year. Greg will miss two weeks to sun his ass in Malaysia -- that lucky bastard. Maybe we can get Andy or someone to sub one week, i think Andy likes playing against Woodstock Rocks.

Jeremy and I are going to have a side bet of who can get more Special Games. My Break n Run last week doesn't count in this bet. So we start at 0-0.

Anybody else want to make some side bets?
