What a surreal night. Those who missed it, you literally missed a once
in a lifetime event.
We played "ex cues es" (sp?) aka Ron Shepherd's team.
First up was Craig against a new guy Mike in a 2:2. I didn't see the
match, but Craig lost 0-2.
Next was Brian R. against George in a 6:1. Brian just couldn't catch
break and he was just missing shots he'd normally make. Plus George was
playing well. Brian went down 6-0.
Next up was me against Bobby Crews (Let the trash talking begin :-)) in
an 8:1 matchup. The first two games I struggled and Bobby whipped me
good. The third game, I just couldn't sink my last object ball. Game
4, it was a dog fight til the end. I did a bank shot the length of the
table ... to sink the 8. I won 4-1. Rock on ME!!
Then John showed-up to play Les in an 8:2. John won game 2 when Les
scratched on the 8. Games 5 and 6 were "interesting". John never shot.
Les had back-to-back 8-ball breaks. It was ALMOST three in a row.
The eight went to the side pocket like a bullet, but another ball hit it
about 6 inches from the pocket. Games 7 and 8 Les won, even though
John made some spectacular shots. Les beat John 8-1.
We forfeited game 5 against Andy. So as a team we were 1-4. We were in
a eighth place by one game. I'm sure we're still in 8th place.

PS - The "once in a lifetime event." was NOT me beating Bobby. It was
the two 8ball breaks by Les. :-)
