Yesterday...

Wow. Tough day. We took our biggest swing of the week and wound up with one of the few oh-fers this season. Disappointed in the wide trip into the lane for 5-1 Hunting Hillbilly in the 6th. And it hurt to watch our "sub" choice complete the tri in the finale. Oh well...

If we are interested in both halves of an entry -- in event of a scratch -- it is noted that way [in other words, both halve are named]. If only one-half of the entry is named, then we prefer that half and will move to our next pick listed [rather than the other half of the entry] in event of a scratch.
