[POOL] 1st night's results

[John Valdes]

We kicked off the 2011-2012 season against Retarded Monkeys.  On hand
for Moe were Craig, Roger, Brian R and myself.

Craig played first against Ken, a new player to the league (and to
pool) in a 2:2.  Craig gave him a fine introduction to the sport by shutting
him out, 2:0.

I played next against Dennis in a 2:4.  I was confident having
practiced on my 8' table over the summer, but the Q's 9' still felt
really big, and I had forgotten how fast their felt it.  That and the
lack of "home table curl" I've become accustomed to caused me to
rattle more balls in the pockets rather than sink them (at least
that's my excuse).  Despite some good runs, I went down, 0:4.

Roger went 3rd against Ray in another 2:4 (I believe).  Roger was
shooting well and got a quick win when Ray scratched on the 8 in the
first game.  Roger continued to play tough, but unfortunately he was
unable to win a 2nd game, giving the match to Ray, 1:4.

Brian R played the 4th match against Mike M in a 2:8.  Brian came out
shooting and won the first game, putting the pressure on Mike.  Brian
continued shooting well, getting to the 8 in the 2nd and 3rd games,
but eventually Mike settled down and started putting good runs
together, eventually denying Brian another victory and taking the
match, 1:8.

We didn't have a 5th, so that match has to be made up.
