Last night both of Dolce Vita’s “B” Division teams were playing home games. Not a problem as the bar has 3 boards (although only two are “legal” for league play). My guys all arrived between 6 and 6:30 and encamped on our preferred board. The guys from Sliders arrived around 7:15 and it turns out they preferred the same dart board. It looked like it might get ugly because my first inclination was to be an asshole about it (squatters rights and all that), but after consulting with my teammate Jim (who also owns the bar) we decided keeping the peace was more important than any given board. So, when I relented they said that since our whole team was there already (they only had two at that point) we should keep the board we had warmed up on. So, a conflict was avoided and good will prevailed.

We had M&M from Blue Frog. One of those teams that can bite you in the ass when they bring their best game. They didn’t last night and we took the match 15-4. I wasn’t on my game, but played well enough to go 6-0, but I only threw one ton and one 5-mark. I am currently ranked first in our division, but that kind of darts won’t be enough to hold on to that lofty spot. It’s nice to see your name up there, but I know I’m far from being the best player. I am both inconsistent and lucky, but as long as Take it Easy keeps playing well as a team I am happy.

Sliders is really coming on strong and took down the first place team from 3 Alley Pub (Alley Rats) 11-8. That was big for us because it should be enough to put us back into the division lead by one leg.

We are looking forward to our head-to-head match with Sliders in three weeks.
