In the gutter since 2003.

In a come-from-behind shocker, Squid Row waited until the very end to use their tentacles to sn**ch the championship out of what had been some very Hot-n-Ready® hands! Mike Fitzgerald won the Tournament of Champions with Jon Little claiming second place! Dennis Walling was this week's MVB and #1 Head-to-Head Bowler, while Nathan Burrows took #1 Power Rank.

Next week we meet for the final time this season, where a pizza buffet will precede the awarding of prizes. Following that, optional just-for-fun 9 Pin No Tap bowling.

The Spring 2026 season has reached its grand, glitter-soaked finale, and somewhere out there a confetti cannon is probably still firing directly into somebody's basket of chicken wings! All three pairs of lanes featured very closely matched teams, with two of the three matches having no handicap wha...

Nathan Burrows won Most Valuable Bowler and Chris Hagan got #1 Power and #1 H2H as one split series and two well-timed sweeps changed the standings for the first time since March 24 and set the stage for three epic battles in next week's championship!

The fifteenth week of Spring 2026 delivered another loud, chaotic night at Gutter Alley as the standings tightened and several bowlers turned in performances that could shake up the rest of the season. One team climbed in the rankings while another took a painful tumble. Lindsay Sargent captured the...

It's a Cinco de Mayo miracle! In a stunning turn of events, with just a few hours to go before Seth would yell "Practice is ending!", the malware attack on the league's server was thwarted and a clean restore was made from backup!

So now on with business...

Last night saw JoAnne Barber claim Most Valuable Bowler and Mike Fitzgerald earn #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head! Meanwhile for reasons that were hard to pick up on, many of us felt a subconscious urge to celebrate Cinco with Michelob Ultra rather than Modelo, though nobody could quite put a finger on why...

A stagnant Week 14 of the Spring 2026 season somehow still managed to feel like a pressure cooker wrapped inside a soap opera and served ice-cold beside a sweating bucket of Michelob Ultra. Speaking of pressure, allow me to introduce myself: I'm Chip Dugan, regional Michelob sales representative, fi...

The server hosting the bowling web site and scoring system experienced a catastrophic hard drive failure last night. A new server is currently being readied and it will be restored with Wednesday's backup, so no data should be lost. However it's possible the site will be down through the weekend. Send your Thots & Spares!

What has gotten into you people? The league has been on fire in terms of high-scoring games the past few weeks! This week's clear leader was #1 Power Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Jon Little, rolling new personal best league games back-to-back while achieving his first league 600+ series. Ian Estey showed off with a couple of 200+ games and a 600+ series of his own as he hearned #1 Head-to-Head. While the standings didn't change as per usual, Hot-n-Ready extended their lead by 1 while Queenpins set their sights on the possibility of climbing to 3rd place.

A hush fell over the lanes this week... the kind of hush you hear before absolute, thunderous, pin-crushing chaos—and, increasingly, before someone brings up the ballroom. Week 13 of Spring 2026 arrived with all the drama of a blockbuster finale and somehow... not a single inch of movement in the ...

Look at these weirdos.

With the season 3/4 over, the standings seem to be firmly locked into place and barring any shocking upsets, the only question seems to be whether Hot-n-Ready can maintain its lead over Squid Row for a few more weeks.

This week we saw Seth Gunderson earn Most Valuable Bowler and #1 Power Ranked Bowler, and Dennis Walling nab #1 Head-to-Head as he also bagged is 150th league 200+game.

With nearly a third of the league absent a strange calm hovered over the lanes this week—the kind that says, “nothing changed… but EVERYTHING happened.” The standings? Frozen solid. The action? Positively boiling. I’m Alotta Tenpin, your ever-vigilant sideline correspondent (yes, that Alot...
