The Dirty Dozen (12)...
Got to play (practice) a little a week or so ago. Best I could manage was a 12. It was on some crappy equipment, but I can't use that as an excuse. Mostly, it was a tremendous lack of focus (and a bit of rust).
But at least, as they say, I'm on the board.
I am planning to play some more in the next week or two. Hopefully, I can improve on this. I plan on playing a lot more this year, so watch out!
In the meantime, put me down for a 12.

50
Made it to 50 on Friday in a game to 150 with Winston 846. Missed the 51st ball on a slow roller to the top left pocket that faded out of the pocket as it approached. The table had a roll toward that pocket. The rack was broken open and the run could very easily been continued.

He can thank me for setting up that run. 
I played a perfect safe with the balls open leaving the cue ball froze to the 3 ball. But I touched the 5 for a table foul and ended up having to play out of that safe myself after he took an intentional. That changed the whole outcome of the game.

Thanks Steve. It's posts like yours that reinforce improvement. It's also posts like Winston864's that make long runs and victories so sweet. Quick! Can someone please call him a waaaaaaaaaaaa-mbulance!!!

It's got nothing to do with calling a waaaaaaaaaaaaambulance. The fact of the matter is that the table foul forced me to play out of that safety instead of you, which changed the outcome of the game. Had you played out of that safety instead of me, the balls would have never laid the way they did for you to make your run (even though you made it a couple of innings later), and I would have been at the table instead of you.
Not making ANY excuses. Just stating that I committed a foul and it cost me (and let it be known that I called the foul on myself). It's not an excuse, it's just something that's nobody's fault but mine and could/should have been avoided. Unfortunately, a previous comment seems to portray me as sore loser.
Congrats! You are in my league for the time beingDid a 21 today!
