Ahh, the uncertainty of Week #2. If there was ever a week tailor made to wreak havoc on everything from averages to the league standings, it's the second week of any season. Week #2 of the Fall 2011 was no exception with every single team changing places in the standings, averages swinging wildly and Scoot's team ascending into the top spot. In other words, hell has frozen over.In the first matchup of the night, the reigning champs STFU Donny had planned to extend their win streak after a perfect start Week #1 but ran head first into the men of Kitten Mittons. With Kelly Sands' mantra "make your own luck" leading the charge, anchor Nick Allegri shot a team high 443 to rally for a 3-1 matchup victory after dropping Game #1 by a mere six pins. Ian Goetz shot a 542 series for STFU Donny but it simply wasn't enough to secure anything more than their lone initial victory. With the wins, the Mittons claw their way up to 5th while STFU Donny has their rug stolen and fall to 2nd place. Vowing to not end up in last place, Das Sauer Popes made true on their promise and hand delivered a 3-1 beat down of powerhouse team Vier Reiter Der Apokalypse. With this week's Most Valuable Bowler performance coming from the Popes' Mike Berlin and his 521 series, Das tamed the Apokalypse in Games #1 and #2 before succumbing in Game #3 to Ryan Doll and his 580 series. Das Sauer Popes skips up into 7th while the Reiters ride down into 4th place.After a rocky start in Week #1, the members of No Pinheads found themselves in the bottom half of the league standings. That's when Aubrey Moren and this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler Phil Schroeder stepped up and both shot a 529 series apiece to get back into the groove of things. Coming away with a clean sweep of opponents Skirtz & Jerkz, the Pinheads jumped two spots up into 3rd place due to a total pins tiebreaker. Neil Reiger led the Jerkz with a 483 series but it simply wasn't enough to earn a win. Skirtz & Jerkz drop two spots into 6th place.In the last matchup of the night down on Lanes 25-26, the Gutterballs added another four ticks in their win column to improve to the best record in the league. With Jason Carpio leading the way with a 501 series, the team didn't let up at all en route to their first sweep of the season. The Mysterious Platypus Appendages, falling two spots, find themselves in 8th place despite the team-leading 393 from anchor Jake Parrot. Bowlers chilling out in the cool Fall air this week at The 200 Club include: Aubrey Moren (214), Dennis "Pops" Laube (215) and Ryan Doll (211, 211).See you next Tuesday!

FROM THE GUTTER (GUTTER QUOTE)
"They are only just NOW starting their third game?!? These people are slower than that Corky kid."
Janitor Joe Dirt, thinking everyone in the league was finishing up for the night until he saw No Pinheads was still rolling.

Top Individual Achievements for Week 2
So much for that cheese stick myth…
Now that I think back, it’s only ever affected good bowlers.
Now that wasn’t a very nice thing to say about Pops…
