We're Baaaaaaaack!

Image by Leo Reynolds via FlickrThe Crowe BarFlies have done it again! What have we done, you ask? We've won! That makes two in a row! Woohoo! We are on a roll, and hopefully we can keep it going!

We played the VFW Flyers at their bar and beat them in 5 games, which is wonderfully surprising because the BarFlies have never really had great luck over there. But we had two (not so) secret weapons - our rally rooster and our new cheerleader Kerry (who is required to attend every game now!).

First up for the Flyers was Peggy and Teresa against Patrick and Shelly. We started off with one handicap point but Peggy and Teresa quickly took the lead with a handful of points. But Patrick stormed back with 4 points in the next two rounds and Shelly finished it off with 4 in the final round to take the first game 15-7. Next up was Dave and Nathan against R.C. and Alma. This game went back and forth and just for the fun of it forth and back. But Alma scored the final blow and we lost this one 14-15. The VFW Flyers sent in Dee and Adolph Jr to play the third game against Bert and Margaret and this one turned out to be another marathon. A marathon that the BarFlies would win 15-14.

So, if you've been keeping track, the BarFlies are up 2 games to 1 at this point. For the fourth game, it's time for Roger and I to play, and we're up against Fred and Carl. We strike first, take the lead and never look back. We won this one 15-10. One more win and the BarFlies have a winning streak! Joanne and Bob go up against Patrick and Shelly for the fifth game. I think we have found the power couple on our team! Shelly and Patrick win this one 15-11 to take the match 4 games to 1!!


Tonight's game is against the Stafford Sandblasters, and well, we really want to keep our streak alive. So....
GO BARFLIES!!!

Return of the Rooster

That's right boys and girls! The Crowe BarFlies have joined the rest of the league finally, with a mark in the win column. So how did we do it? With a little help from our friend... the Rally Rooster.


Yup. I brought out the luck charm from last year to see if there was any luck left in it, and there was!! Do I think it was all the rooster's doing for our win? Of course not! But I figured it couldn't hurt!

We beat the Cozy Corner ClusterPucks 4 games to 2. And in true BarFly fashion, we came out of the gates swinging, winning the first three games. One more and we win!  But, instead, we lost the next two. The sixth game was a scary one.

Roger and Patrick were up first against Marcus and Jerry and won 15-6. Next up, Nathan and I beat John and Valerie 17-11. Margaret and Bert smoked Lauri and Tori to take the third game 15-0. But Lee Lee and Tori returned the favor and beat Dave and Shelly 0-18. Patrick and Steve were up against Tori and Lee Lee but couldn't hold on and lost 11-16. My mom and I were up against Jerry and Marcus for the sixth game and at one point we were down 3-11. But somehow we managed a come back and won 16-11, giving us our very first win.

So now the BarFlies are 1-4 and looking to make it 2-4. But standing in our way are the VFW Flyers, who are tied for second place right now.

Go BarFlies!!

Any Ideas?

Yes. We lost. Again. Grrr! What's wrong with us BarFlies? It's almost more aggravating losing by only a couple of points (which is what is happening to us) then to get totally blown out of the water.

So now we are 0-4 after losing last Wednesday to Hunter's Rocks and I don't really think I can write anymore about it. We are (obviously) in last place... and it sucks a big one.

Next up, we take on the Cozy Corner ClusterPucks. I'd say I hope we win, but apparently it doesn't do much good. Come on BarFlies!!

 

Big 'Ol Fat Goose Egg

 Yup. That's how many games we won. Zero. Nil. Nada. Nothing. Zip. Not a one. You know what the worst part about it was? We didn't play all that bad.

So why can't we win? I have no clue. Got any advice?

I looked back at last season's first 3 games and we went 1-2. So we are one game behind last year.

Okay BarFlies. That's enough losing. It's time to win. And it's off to Hunter's Pub to play against Hunter's Rocks. Let's win BarFlies. Let's win!
