The final month. The stretch drive. The long walk off a short pier. That’s where we are finally at in this endless winter of a bowling season. The sun is out, the snow is gone, yard waste collection has resumed, but the league year continues unabated. It cares not for

The march continues. The ‘fingers are still mired in second-last place. After what very well may be 6 games in the second half (or so) of the year we’ve managed 16 points. The leaders have 34 and the next 6 teams are all cheek-to-jowl with 28 to 32 points each.

The list of “greatest” bowling movies is a very short one. I know of only two films that are either based on or feature a significant amount of bowling. Those, of course, are The Big Lebowski and Kingpin. The first and only list I looked at, from a reputable source,

Welcome again, imaginary Internet friends! Ohhh men. MEN! The offseason blotter is finally heating up, and CrimeBeat! is here with as many of the sphincter-clenching reality-bombs about the men behind the game we love as I feel like typing about while avoiding work. Joseph Randle got arrested again, but it
