Dairy Air vs. Generation X3

This match started setting up Wednesday night. Paul, Sr. and I got into a bit of trash- and smack-talking. I didn't want to go too far with it. We've gone 31-11 against Generation X3 the last 3 times we played them.

Dairy Air took the first two doubles 501's. We should have known better. That's the curse. Not even the "Bob" cheer can overcome the curse!

We introduced our new secret weapon in the 501 singles games. Robby is subbing for us this year. 501 singles was a split, but things weren't looking good The first 501s are where you set ppd's for the next week. Overall, we were raising our ppd's and splitting.

The match between Robby and Candace had Robby on double 1 and Candace on double 3. My money is on Robby in that situation. Bad choice. Candace stroked it. It gets worse. Robby raised her ppd's for next week.

Speaking of Candace. In the second Cricket match she hit a critical early 5-count. When you're spotting 125 and the 8.5 player on the other team closes your point number in one dart and gets 2 marks on your next point number, that's a problem. We lost both middle Cricket games.

Okay, it's 4-4, team drink time, and we're going into 301, where we usually do well. I won the diddle and got in on my first throw with a 76. So did Paul, Sr. I managed to hold on in the battle of the trash-talking old guys.

At the end of the other 301 games, Sylvan was on 6, Steve was on 3, and Gregg was on 48 when Candace took him out.

We did manage to get the last 2 Crickets for the 7-7 tie.

Kudos to GX3. I thought we threw well enough to win 8 or 9 matches. GX3 threw great games. Special 'grats to Candace. She took out Robby in 501, Gregg in 301, and was instrumental in taking out Gregg and Bob in Cricket. The young lady threw some awesome darts.
