And Then I Said….We’re Like the Mike Eruzion(skee) of Skee Ball...

For those of you who don’t know Mike; Mike Eruzione was the captain of the USA Hockey team (miracle on ice) that won the gold at 1980 Lake Placid taking down the USSR. And in our match against Skeeeeeeeeeechiro we would have made Mike proud. No, we didn’t beet out Skeeeeeechiro but we did cause a bit of a raucous.

We sported new intimidating Ball Buster t-shirts, we had our Ball Buster entourage in tow and Jenn even whipped out the harmonica. And we almost won –ish. Ahhhh…but the Skeechiro played well and even though we rattled their balls a little bit they still won the game (sorry Mike). The good news is we (The Ball Busters) are learning and getting better. We can rebuild. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic Ball Buster skee ball team. Better than we were before. Better, stronger, faster. BALL BUSTERS!!!!!


You've been Ball Busted Skeeeeeeeechiro!



The Ball Buster Entourage



New Shirts thanks to Angel and James!!!

Bring It On Skeeeeechirrro!!!

Tonight at 9:30pm we take on the number one team in the league, Skeeeeeeeechiro. So what if there is something like 813 points betweens us and they roll like a 96% rate into the coveted hundred hole. I think it’s time for an upset or at least a mini upset…eh? eh? Rabble! Rabble! Rabble! We’re coming for ya Skeeeeeeechiro and we’re bringing our A game with us! See ya there! Rabble!!!

Look Ma - We're In The Brew-Skeeball Newsletter

The Brew-SkeeBall Newsletter wrote this about our match tonight against Skeeechirrro:

"Also, 1st-place Skeechiro will face their most difficult challenge this skeeson, as they take on their latest bitter foes, the 19th ranked Ball Busters. While these teams are separated by 813 points, don’t be fooled, Skeechiro’s balls are still in the same place, and The Busters are well aware of that. What? Yes. Oh, and just so Skeechiro and The Ball Busters are on the same page, the definition of the term “Bush League” is as follows:

• BUSH LEAGUE: is a general term used to describe an action or thing as being amateur, inferior or crude. In a literal sense, it refers to a low quality minor-league in baseball not associated with any of the major league teams. The term originated from the poor condition of minor-league fields that often were ringed with shrubs and bushes."

Rollin Towards the Top-ish!

Congratulations Ball Busters! We are now fourth to last place in the league and second to last place in the Wednesday night division. Nice! Tonight we take on the skee ball sorority of S.K.E.E. at 7:30pm. May we all be encouraged and inspired to take home our first win tonight by the following quote… “I'm not normally a praying man, but if you're up there, please save us, Superman!” - Homer Simpson

Rabble Rousers & Damn Good Ballers Too!

Game 2 Final Score - June 6, 2007
Skee To My Lou 771
Ball Busters 681

With full bellies of sushi and cocktails in hand the Ball Busters did in fact skee like gods last night and we brought our Rabble A Game with us too. Maybe it was the sushi that warmed our bellies. Maybe it was the support of Jess and Paolo who cheered us on. Maybe it was from the red-faced embarrassment of being in last place. Whatever it was, it was a good night to be a Ball Buster last night.

So good was our rabble rousing that we intimidated a team we weren’t even playing into scoring their “lowest game ever.” Mooohaw! How did we intimidate our opponents and future opponents? Through good old fashioned rabble-rousing fun of course!

One frustrated future opponent on the Skeechiro team was overheard saying, “who let bush into the league?” Oh my poor little Skeechiros (currently the best team in the Wednesday league but were visibly shaken by last night’s rabble rousing). We’re in your head Skeechiro. and we’re coming for you! Rabble! Rabble! Rabble! Oh yeah and we lost to Skee To My Lou. But….but we are no longer in last place! See… it was a great night!

Tonight we Skee Like Gods!

Wednesday, June 6
10:30 – 11:30
Ball Busters vs. Skee to My Lou

As we approach the ramps of skee tonight let’s keep in mind the Special Olympics Motto, “Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Those are truly words to lose ….er I mean… live by. And if we cannot skee like Gods we shall talk smack like T.O. and be as graceful as T. Harding while doing it. If you’re in the hood and you feel like watching the showdown then bring your arse on down to The Ace Bar. We skee at 10:30 tonight.
