It's official

Skipper has lost it. He is on:

After last night's ass-reaming by yet another almost totally new team, I lost it. The evening started well enough with Steve & Mike being there for the start as well as Jeff & Rog. Jeff went up first & got matched up against their strongest player, which was annoying as it's hard to find a good matchup for Steve among the sea of low handicaps. They then put up a D+ & Mike matched up against him. In the time it might take to have a quick s**t & a shower, Weasler lost 8-1. It's not like he played bad; his opponent made a 9 on the break, ran a rack, combo'd a 9 in & was given ball in hand on the 9 in the final rack by Mike after he made a really nice 8 ball shot. Mike was almost on tilt but managed to stay reasonably calm. A lesson in self control that should have been taken note of by Skipper, who had to match himself up against the next D+ they put up.

We were in a 7 game hole, we really had to win all 3 matches & Dog was in a battle in his match. Skipper was starting to close the spot when Dog lost & we had to put Slipper up cuz he was the only player left. That meant we'd already lost the match before Steve had hit a ball. Numerically we couldn't catch them. This fact did little to help Skippers digestive process, and the sequence of events that followed:

- his opponent got ball in hand & combod the 9 in
- his opponent made the 9 on the break
- he had a tough cut on the 9 & hung it, smashing the 9 into the pocket in a fit of rage before his opponent had a chance to get to the table. This put his opponent on the hill
- his opponent broke & made the 9.

Well, what can you say.....


Actually anything other than the shortest handshake in human history followed by a lot of f'ing & blinding & dropping of pool cases would've been better. But alas, the boy was beyond reason & was left to fume alone.

Meanwhile, a contact lens-less Slipper was beating up on a C+ and skipper managed to write the score down wrongly as 10-9 Steve, when the guy only won 8 racks. Can he get anything right?

Tilt. Absolute 100% sky tilt. Therapy is scheduled for Tuesday.

BTW Liz has won her first two macthes in the pro event she's playing in. Way to go girl.
