Sharkey, who has been the best bowler in Kitsap County before you were almost born Big Dawg, and that was over a 100 years ago, led from start to finish. He knocked off Brian Irwin 244-22 in the TV Finale to win his championship. Larry Dodd defeated Carol Andrews 200-188 to win the KSBO\u2019s Peninsula Bottling for the 205 and Under Division title. \u2026 KSBO will hold its last tournament of the season this Saturday. It\u2019s called the Non-Champ\/ Champs event and is sponsored by Don Holtz Realtor and Talbot Excavating. The final act of the tournament will pit the Non-Champs winner against the Champs winner for the King of the Hill title. \u2026 I was amused, Big Dawg, to discover you were 4th<\/sup> in the Seattle Times basketball bracket and 63rd<\/sup> in the Times\u2019 national basketball bracket after the first round. There were over 72,000 entered in the national bracket. Then you took a big swoon, just as you always do. That thrilled me to no end. That means you have to fill up the Green Hornet\u2019s gas tank, especially now that the corporate crooks are raising the price of gas faster than the weeds grow in your so-called lawn. \u2026 You know what amuses me even more, Big Dawg? There doesn\u2019t seem to be an optimism for those Marinaros of yours coming out of Spring Training. There usually is a little glimmer of hope forecast by writers who cover the team, but not this year.\u00a0 Maybe they are finally getting the message that the franchise is badly run on the baseball side. What will be extremely funny is if those Marinaros of yours turn out to be pretty good. Wouldn\u2019t that be something? Nah, that\u2019s too unbelievable. Go get me a tall latte before I start to believe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bumming around town with Bill Bumerton Bumerton is a retired Navy fighter pilot who had been missing in action for…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1161,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bumerton","category-top-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1160"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1160\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1162,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1160\/revisions\/1162"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
