QUOTES

Quote of the night --> Ed (to Matt) --> do me a favor...give me a beer...I can't reach it...Matt (to Ed) --> you can't reach the double ring either (after we got shut out)...

John --> I'm not the gas pedal...I'm cruise control....

Ed (to Andy) --> Jeff's carried us enough...we can do something...

Andy (to Ed) --> yeah...he carried us to 5th place...

Andy --> my job on this team is to make them look good (he shoots 127...Johnny was low man with 100...Jeff had 140)...

Ed --> what do I put there (after Jeff busted on double 16) --> Andy --> Jeff shit the bed...

Andy --> Thome grabs his crotch a lot...John --> he's gotta be hung like a horse...

John --> it's over...

Jr (while Ed is up practicing) --> you sure you're in???

Ed --> they were all trips...at least I hit wires...

NOTE:  if you want it in the blog just write it on the sheet...I don't discriminate...

CONCLUSION

all I can say is WOW!!!  I think we have hit our stride...3 championships in a row...and this half I wasn't quite convinced we were going to make it out of the first round of the playoffs...the first 5 weeks of this half we didn't even win a week...now in the playoffs we hit a resurgence...we beat the 4th place team 8-1 away...we beat the 1st place team 8-7 away...and we beat the 3rd place team 8-3 away....that's some damn good shooting during the playoffs...let's take a look at the playoffs overall...

Team average by week....51.61, 51.26, 57.12...Jeff averaged over a 70 once and 80 once...

% of shots over 40 for the team by week...72.63.%, 75.61%, 72.73%...Jeff had 2 shots under a 40 for the whole playoffs...

Following shooters contributed with double ins...Ed (3), Jr (5), Jeff (7), John (1)...

Following shooters contributed with double outs...Ed (1), John (4), Jr (5), Andy (2), Jeff (5), Ted (3)...darts is a lot easier to play when everyone contributes...

Team cricket average the last 2 weeks...2.28, 2.00...

Great season...guess we'll wind up moving up again...could make for a long 1st half next year...but if we can carryover to next year any of the mojo we had in the playoffs I hope we can be competitive...either way...think of what you want on your jackets...and most importantly don't forget to pick up a dart between now and next September...
