Darts-2014 1st Half Commentary

Home Up Darts Softball Sponsors Dart Links


SUMMARY

week 10...we are coming off a 3-12 week....then we had a bye for turkey day....so we should be all refreshed and ready to go...right???....but don't let that fool you...we sucked it up all over the place...we went 4-11 in the final week of the season when 7 wins would have guaranteed a playoff spot...so in the past 2 weeks we had 7 wins and 23 losses...that was a pathetic display of darts...so what's the one thing we learn from all this...that's right I hate to admit it but Andy is the glue that holds this team together...haha....the first half of this year was essentially 2 separate halves....the first 5 weeks of the half we went 46-29 and we won each of those 5 weeks....now the second 5 weeks didn't fare so well as we went 26-49 with only 1 winning week....that's about as bad for 5 weeks that we probably ever had in our history...so without any playoffs we will be dart free for about a month and a half...try picking up a dart during that time...any practice you folks can have only can help the cause...

THE STATS

FINES (TEAM 15)
(0-1) Jr (1 under 20)      
(2) Ed (1 under 20, 1 squat in cricket) John (1 under 20, 1 missed in) Jeff (1 under 20, 1 missed in) Ted (1 C-rule, 1 squat in cricket)
(3-7)        
(11) Skippy (3 under 20, 2 C-rules, 1 missed in)      

from 40 fines last week to 15 fines this week...Skippy is this week's winner of the "Prestigious Skippy Award" with 6 fines...

'01 AVERAGE (TEAM 48.30)
(>=55) Jeff (66.90)    
(45-54) Ted (50.03) Ed (49.50) Jr (48.72)
(40-45) John (40.01)    
(<40) Skippy (34.64)    

we missed our goal of a 50 average for the 2nd week in a row...Ted, Ed and Jr all hovering around 50...John with an uncharacteristic 40.01...and then their is "Shotgun Skippy" with a measly 34.64...even I can't shoot high enough to carry that...

% OF SHOTS OVER 40 (TEAM 65.35%)
(>=80%) Ted (94.74%) Jeff (87.50%)    
(67-79%)        
(51-67%) Jr (65.00%) Ed (63.64%) John (52.38%)  
(<=50%) Skippy (30.00%)      

Jeff has over 75% for 10 weeks in a row...Ted had a very nice 94.74% of his shots over a 40...that equates to 1 shot under a 40 all night...then the other bunch...Jr was close to 2/3 but just missed...and Johnny down around 50% is very uncharacteristic...and once again there is Skippy with only 30% of his shots over a 40....I'm pretty sure if he splashed he would have a higher average...

TONS (TEAM 8)
(>=3) Jeff (4)    
(1-2) Ed (2) Jr (1) Ted (1)
(0) John (0) Skippy (0) "NOT IN THE MOOD TO CHUCK TRIPLE DIGIT SCORES"

back to back to back weeks of single digit tons...Jeff had 4 tons...the rest of the team combined had 4 tons...and John and Skippy weren't "in the mood" this week...

HIGH SCORE (TEAM 140)
(>100) Jeff (140, 140, 112)      
(100) Ed (100) Jr (100) Ted (100)

SINGLE DIGIT SCORES (TEAM 1)
(0) Ed John Jr Ted Skippy
(1) Jeff (1)        
(>1)          

Jeff shot a 5 (or as I like to call it a ton of ones)...Ted busted on 54 but I won't count that 0...

DOUBLE INS (TEAM 8di / 11mi / 42.11%)
(>=75%) Ted (2di / 0mi / 100.00%)      
(50-75%) Jeff (3di / 2mi / 60.00%) Jr (2di / 2mi / 50.00%) Skippy (1di / 1mi / 50.00%)  
(1-49%)        
(0%) Ed (0di / 4mi / 0.00%) John (0di / 2mi / 0.00%)    

11 missed ins...2 shooters (Ed and John) went 0-6...still too many missed ins...

DOUBLE OUTS (TEAM 3do / 24mo / 11.11%)
(>=2)        
(1) Jr (1do / 5mo / 16.67%) Jeff (1do / 1mo / 50.00%) Ted (1do / 4mo / 20.00%)  
(0) Ed (0do / 5mo / 0.00%) John (0do / 5mo / 0.00%) Skippy (0do / 4mo / 0.00%)  

only 3 double outs out of a possible 12...horrible...3 shooters combined went 0-14....

CRICKET AVERAGE (TEAM 1.75)
(>=2.50)      
(2.00-2.49) Jr (2.00) Jeff (2.00)  
(1.50-1.99) Skippy (1.75) John (1.71) Ed (1.63)
(<1.50) Ted (1.38)    

not many good averages here...

>=3 MARK CRICKET ROUNDS (TEAM 30.77%)

QUOTES

Ted --> Ed is in the mood...

Ed --> I can only do so much...

Jr --> saved us dollars...but not wins...

John --> we are only down 300 here...

Jr --> I hope he takes it out...Teddy only has a 25...

Ed --> Dr Pepper drove you...

John --> maybe you should replace me on your team....

John (to Jeff) --> that little dude is whippin your ass at cork...

John --> I craned my neck for that???

Skip --> maybe we should stop darts and start bowling...

John --> Skip hits trip 3 aiming at 20...Skippy --> yo I'm right here...

Jr --> f u with that...

John --> losing don't suck...

NEW RULE --> if you miss a week you pay the fines for the person who had to sub for you...EDITORIAL NOTE --> so Andy that mean +5 for you...and Ted that means +12 for you...I like our new rule....

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

CONCLUSION

a very very disappointing end to the half...we go from first place after the first five weeks...down to 5th place and missing the playoffs....unacceptable...maybe we need to implement a fine for every game you lose so maybe people have some vested interested in winning...oh well...let's put this half behind us...and bring a better effort next half...
