I'm a bit fuzzy on the end scores.

We entered the night with 29 wins, tied for 4th.  3rd was 30, 2nd was  
31, and 1st was 34 - Kevin's team.  Who we were playing.

Roger first, against Ed in a 5-2.  Ed wins first game.  Roger wins  
second when Ed scratches on the 8.  Roger says "I'm going to sink the  
8 on the break."  I say, "Okay, but not the cue ball."  Hilarity  
ensues, as Roger breaks and watches the cue ball carom off the rack  
and into the back corner, while the 8 makes as straight and fast a  
line as I've ever seen for the opposite top corner.  It was a thing of  
beauty and sorrow all at once.  They should've sent a poet.

Roger plays a good rest of match and finds himself able to sink the 8  
ahead of Ed.  Roger wins, I think 2-3.

Up next, yours truly against Todd.  It's a 7-1 pain match.  I'm not  
playing well, but improving through my 3 (or was it 4) losses.  Then  
Todd loses in a fluke of a scratch on the 8th.  I'm not proud of that  
win.  But, still a win!

Rob goes up next, facing off against Scott Petersen in a 5-1.  Scott  
is shooting well, but so is Rob.  Rob has a sweet run to come from  
behind, and plays a kick-ass safety.  He forced ball in hand and got  
to sink his last ball and the 8 in a perfect setup.  In the end, Rob  
took it 1-3.

Paul is next, facing Kevin in a 4-2.  Paul's playing well, but Kevin's  
having a good night.  In the 4th game, Paul plays back from a deficit  
with a tremendous run, and is shooting on the 8.  Alas, they both  
chase it back and forth off the top rail until Kevin finally gets a  
shot on it.  Alas, Paul loses 4-0.

Brian played last, playing Jim in a 3-2.  Brian kicked ass in the  
first game, Jim played much better in the 2nd, though Brian kept up,  
by the time I left it was 1-1.  I think Brian probably took it, in  
which case we'll end the week 2 games back of Kevin's team.  Should I  
be wrong and Brian lost, it'll be 4 games back.
