OD '09
Some pictures from the last trip West, OD'09....
Before the journey from Spokane to Sacramento even began, the big bad new Baru gets side swiped by some crazy lady delaying the departure south.
Top Secret...

Week 3 On...
I have not posted mostly because of being too busy that taking the time to write about darts did not seem as high a priority as playing when ever I could. I have traveled to two tournaments in the last month as well, Philly and LI. More on that another time, but note to self, T80 and a 85(single 10, single Bull, Double Bull!) finish in a great singles match was the highlight of singles.
Since Week 3 both the teams I am on have done as I expected they were going to do. Monday Night league we have proudly taken last place in the Monday A1 Division. A1 Monday is no joke. Prop's to the final four teams in the play offs. (All A1 teams, as expected)
Tuesday night A1, The Acumen, we finished in second place in the division and are now going to the finals after a commanding first round win vs the 3rd place team.
The finals are set for next Tuesday(30th) and the following Tuesday (6th) vs the first place Dynasty team. Should be fun.
BTW, last time I was there playing in cricket I hit a R9 vs Tony Roman, i am not sure if he remembers that or if I mentioned it before. Hope he does now.
Will update after the Finals...

Week 3- Tuesday
This is what I wrote about Week 3 Tuesday, which took place October 3rd. I did not finish it and put the proper references in, any way, here it is. I will right a summary of the rest of the season shortly.
The Dynasty is good. Final Score, Tony's Boys 18, The Acumen 6.
I seem to forget how good the entire team is beyond the Jaime Donovan, Neil McLoughlin, Tony Roman (who had a 13 dart singles game). Props to the entire team.
I was lacking all energy because of a late night of Yom Kippur atonement the night before. I know its not quite the way it was written to atone for ones sins, but we all do it differently. I paid, trust me. As a result I did not play until the final doubles 501 round. In the match I hit nothing, not one triple, not one round over 60. Amazingly enough Kevin King and I beat Jaime and Neil in the first leg of the match. Kevin hit a 180 and I followed with a horrible 41 leaving a bad out above 120. Kev then hit the out I left, I do not even remember what it was. Same story next game, I was cold, Kevin was solid. He left me with an 80 out and I could not complete the upset by taking the second leg of the match. Jamie quickly cleaned up nicely taking out the double 5 in one shot.
It seems like a lot of the team was a little off, but we know its going to be a long season and hope to bounce back from it.
Personally I was disappointed that I missed out in the fun of playing this big team. It is what you look forward to as you get better. I just hope Tony and the gang do not retire too soon.
Going to O'Hanlon's tonight to start warming up for next time we see them.
