Ship Flipped Off by Road Ragers

The last time we played Road Rage, we were in a battle for third place. This time it was a battle for fourth, and Road Rage treated us like we cut them off on the highway, as they slapped us with a 13-5 loss.

We started off the match slow, in the left lane, with our turn signals on. In the first game, Rich came back from a big deficit, but lost after failing to double out on 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1. We had a few close games, but we didn't manage to get into the flow of traffic until Fred asserted his S501dominance, posting our only win and extending his season S501 winning percentage to an astounding 77% (10 of 13).

Down 5-1, we couldn't manage to turn the corner in Cricket. In the first game, Rich / Dave got bitch-slapped for a loss, before coming back to earn a split. Jen / Meredith played really well until they were given bad directions, and ended up with two losses. Fred / Mindy also managed a split, but made things interesting by narrowly winning their second game after building up (and then giving back) a 6-bull lead.

Going into D501, we still had a chance to tie the match if we could manage to blow them off the road. Unfortunately, the powerhouse team of Dave / Fred dropped the first game. Luckily, Jen Cen returned from her cross country adventure and showed she has not lost her D501 touch. Jen / Mindy scored an impressive win, and Jen increased her D501 record to 83% (5 of 6). (Side note: Jen has won with Rich, Mindy and Meredith as partners, and her only loss came when she was paired with S501 champ Fred.) Rich / Meredith concluded the ugliness by not only losing the final game, but getting doubled-out on by their worst player.

Next week is the final week of the season, and will likely be a battle for fifth place, as we face the Justice League. 

Props: 
Jen - Back with a vengeance.  D501 win plus 100 AS points.
Dave - For stepping up to play, even though he lost 3 out of 4 games to a girl.
