This is the first frame of a new string at Bogey Lanes this week, and it's probably the worst spare I've ever bowled. I screwed up my delivery on the first ball, sending it into the gutter. The ball then ricocheted out of the gutter and struck the 10 pin. So, like a good doobie, I reset and rolled my second ball. It was a "strike" although I had to count it as a spare. Worst part of it is that I ended up botching the extra ball later with a half-Worcester. Candlepin is a cruel mistress.
