My dart league team, Ride it In.   (L to R) Jee Yeun Lee (head cheerleader, score sheet minder, and getter of drinks), Bridget Werner (Captain), Yours Truly, Jacob Leonard, Cory Clow, and Greg White.

Last night we took on the boys from Sin Bin Sports Pub.  I’m no hockey fan, but I understand “sin bin” is the nickname for the penalty box in that icy sport.  They actually have a penalty box sin bin built into the bar.  Haven’t seen anyone thrown in there (yet) though.  The pub also features a shuffle board, a bar game I haven’t seen since my childhood.  Yeah, when I was a kid my dad took us into the bars with him and we played while he drank.  Actually, I recall one night where he drank a lot and challenged some guy to shuffleboard for money.  And he lost all his.  The bartender slipped us boys a few bucks so we’d have gas money to get home.  Ah memories.

Anyway, we came out of the match with a 20-5 victory, the second week in a row we’ve achieved such a lop-sided win.  We need it though because our arch rivals from Gecko’s are hanging tough.  We meet them head-to-head in two weeks.  Not to sound cocky, but I’m smelling a championship in our future.

One of my goals for my return to Korea was to reinvigorate my dart game.  In the states I was playing one night a week and was lazy when it came to practice.  It was no surprise that my game had regressed significantly.  I’ve been throwing well of late, and came out of last night match with 13 marks, including a 5 bulls, 3BS, two 7 marks, and a couple high tons to go with a 7-2 performance.  A satisfying showing.  I just need to keep it up.

Sin Bin is one of the newer pubs in Itaewon and they’ve done a pretty nice job with their darts setup.  The Satan is saying “I’m a dart player, get me a drink” or something like that.
