It's almost time for the 0-2 Crowe BarFlies to take on the 1-1 Crowe Wildpuckers.  Who will win? All I know is that it will be a fun night!

Deja Vu All over again

Well crap! The Crowe BarFlies took the Stafford Ye "Olde" Puckers to game 7! And what happened? We lost. Grr!!


We're up to our same old tricks again I guess. Didn't we start off last year on a losing streak? Hopefully we'll snap out of it soon. 


Next up are the defending champs, the Crowe Wildpuckers. Great. So thanks to my genius scheduling abilities, we played the 2nd place team the first week, the 3rd place team the second week and just for shits and giggles, we play the 1st place team the 3rd week. Yeah, I'm that awesome!

But enough rambling, back to this week's game. We almost had them!

We lost the first game by, well we'll say a lot. Lex and Roger had a rough time against John and J.R.  The second game didn't look much better, but somehow we pulled it out of the gutter. My partner Patrick and I played this one against Keith and Becky. At one point, we were down 14-3 and managed an impossible comeback to take it 18-14. I think I had a mini heart attack after that. Then it was time for another newbie to get his first win. Nathan and Dave played against Doc and Bear and beat them 17-10. Next up was Bert and Steve against Steve and Paul. The weird thing about this game was that the "Steve"s were the only ones who scored points. Odd. We lost this one 12-15.

Okay. So we are tied 2 to 2. We send Margaret and our newest player Shelly to play opposite Keith and J.R. They almost held onto this one but lost 13-16. Patrick and I go up again for the 6th game, this time against John and Paul. We win this one 15-12 and Patrick and I get to enjoy the rest of the night from the bench.

So here we are at game 7. The Ye "Olde" Puckers have Keith and Steve playing so we send in Margaret and Dave to get our last win. But Keith and Steve were too much for them and we lost 11-17.

We played a helluva match, in my opinion. So good job BarFlies! We'll beat them when they come to our house! But for now our sights are set on the Wildpuckers!

So GO TEXANS and GO BARFLIES!!

First Game Jitters

 Well, the Crowe BarFlies started the season off with a... wait for it... loss. Damn! 


I know right! Grr! What is it with us? It seems like we always start the season with a loss. Well, now that the losing is out of our system, there is only one way for us to go.

So we played the Cozy Corner I team and lost 2-4. We definitely tried. Our games were all pretty close.

So what do we do now? Honestly, I have no clue. We just have to keep playing and hopefully the luck will catch up with us.

Our next hurdle of this young season is a tough one. We have to travel to Stafford Ice House and play last season's 3rd place winners, the Stafford Ye "Olde" Puckers.

Come on BarFlies! It's time to start a winning streak!

Almost Time to Dominate

 That's right, I said it... Dominate!

Our first table shuffleboard game of the new season is this Wednesday against  Cozy Corner I, a team that we lost to twice last year. But with the BarFlies under new management (Go Lexie!), hopefully we can pull out a win. It'd be nice to start the season 1-0.

We've got most of the usual suspects coming back for another year, but we also have a couple of new faces (welcome to the BarFlies Nathan and Patrick!).

It's going to be a great season for the BarFlies... I can feel it!

GO BARFLIES!

A New Hope

Image via WikipediaHere we are again boys and girls, almost at the start of a new season. How will the Crowe BarFlies do this year? You'll just have to stay tuned to find out.

Our new shuffleboard season starts in exactly one week. How exciting!

For anyone who's new here, I'm Amy and I play shuffleboard. Every (well almost) Wednesday, I, and the rest of the Crowe BarFlies set out to beat the other 8 teams in the SHSL. But there's an added twist this year... I'm a board member! That's right! I actually have responsibilities (scary!!) now to the league and all of it's members.

So, good luck to all the shuffleboarders out there (especially the other BarFlies!!) and to my fellow newbie board members Tom and Lexie. I know this will be a great year!

And for those of you scratching your heads as to why I have a Star Wars picture on this post, it is a picture from Star Wars IV: A New Hope. See what I did there?
