PDX Winter Big Turkey Bowling Wednesdays 7pm

Katherine Giacchino is our pick for the player of the week, because she was able to nearly double her score from the first game to the second. This is not a easy task to accomplish. Based on exponential theories in math, continuing with this kind of effort, she should be rolling a solid 9000 by the final week's end. Way to go Katherine! Keep up the good work.

Apparently Aaron is here for more than just the "beer". After a respectable 124 in the first game, Aaron put that beer to good use and rolled his way to a 201 in the second game, a 77 point increase. The team captured 3 points and are poised to make a run at the playoffs.

As I've heard a wise man once say in a great film, "Some times you bite the bar, and sometimes the bar bites back," and on this fifth week of league play this universal truth could not more self evident. Brooke Sinclair rose to the challenge by scoring a career best 138 in the first game. She was calm cool and collected, and surpassed her previous week's best score by more than 40 points. She clearly bit the bar in that round.

But the universe always seems to have a way to balance things out, and in the second game the bar bit back hard. She again stayed calm cool and collected, but she also missed a lot of pins in scoring an 84.

So goes the gentle balance of all things, even in bowling. The ancient Chinese culture call it Yin and Yang, and maybe we all witnessed a bit of the universe self correcting itself on this memorable night.

I for one would like to thank Brooke for creating universal harmony through bowling. A feat that will not soon be forgotten. I guess the real universal truth is that sometimes both you and the bar will bite each other at the same time. Ouch.
