With only a few hours to go before the pins will start to fall, I know many of you might be reading this on your smartphones while your nerve racked body compels you to make one last trip to the bathroom.
This week, the new number ones, the Gutter Sluts have a tough match against the Forkin’ Balls to remain at the top of heap. One thing that Forkin’ has in its favor is that Slut captain Frank Grinnell will return to action this week. Frank has only bowled in one of the first three weeks this season. That that week corresponds with the Sluts only dropped point really isn’t a coincidence. The Sluts won there only BFBL league title before Frank was brought on board. His subsequently orchestrated a coup within the team and installed himself as captain. Since then the Sluts have struggled to stay relevant.
The Red Sox had the curse of the Bambino
The Cubs have the curse of the Billy Goat
The Gutter Sluts have the curse of Frank
For you ghost chaser / supernatural / curse buster types out there, I recommend you schedule some time with Dana. The Sluts curse is pretty much the same curse that’s been following her around since her wedding day 8 years ago.
The line in Jackpot for this match has the Sluts dropping 2 of the 3 points to Forkin’ Balls as they begin their annual autumn slide down the standings.
The other match up to watch this evening is second place I Can’t Believe It’s Not Gutter vs. 5th place Three Fingers Deep. 2 vs. 5 isn’t exactly Alabama – LSU, but in this case, the Three Fingers will be without Mikey C. As many of you know anytime Mikey misses a week of bowling (or any event for that matter) the chances for success skyrocket.
Finally, a reminder that next Thursday the Beer Frame Bowling League will be celebrating Halloween. Each team is required to show up in costume. Additionally, you are expected to be able to bowl in that costume. So if Donny is planning to go in all body paint as an elephant he will be expected to bowl in body paint (and bowling shoes) all night. Not even when I bribe Westy’s to jack up the AC so that his ‘trunk’ shrinks, will Donny be exempt from this requirement. A couple of other things that don’t qualify as in costume:
Coming as an anonymous bowling team (coming as a famous bowling team would be acceptable, but then again so would coming as a bunch of unicorns)
Frat boy / Dave Mathews Band Fan - I call this one the Leif, but if you show up in sweatshirt and baseball hat, prepare for the wrath of your team.
Any team (subs included) that is not fully in costume will have an extremely difficult time earning free beer.
Bring your dues if you haven’t already.
Captains, make sure you rosters are full.
See everybody in a few hours..
