Red Wine Splashdown at Yahtzee Cup #49

Yahtzee Cup #49 – Red Wine Splashdown

August 19, 2011 - Westmoreland Stadium--

Well, now it was Superstar Bootyray (SB) who had the Yahtzee Cup victory to savor. This one was a fast-paced thriller and spiller. Roman Castevet (RC) and Killer Pimp J. John Johnny John (KPJ) were ready to stop her run.

RC burst out to a strong lead, and he kept it going through the first three games. A double Yahtzee in the first game spelled doom for the other players.

Game #1

RC 342/SB 255/KPJ 239

Yahtzees: RC (2)

Game #2 was closer but the result was the same, with the Pimp scoring the same last place finish – consistency!

Game #2

RC 265/SB 252/KPJ 239

Now, it was time to stop Castevet from running away with the Cup…to make it happen, the Pimp smacked down a full glass of RED WINE all over the board and the Bootyray card.

It was a funny thing to see, no doubt, but it was no help for the Pimp. Roman rolled the SAME score twice in a row, and unlike the Pimp’s, his got him the win. 3-0 and the chance for the sweep…

Game #3

RC 265/SB 194/KPJ 156

But there was a Superstar playing, one who loves playing spoiler. Maybe she was inspired by the spill, but she took the fourth game to prevent the sweep. Roman’s score of 174 was easy to beat, and the Pimp continued to struggle for a win, despite an early Yahtzee.

Game #4

SB 241/KPJ 219/RC 174

Yahtzee(s): SB, KPJ (1)

A squeaker of a Game #5 saw three low scores, with Bootyray taking the prize. Could she pull off the upset?

Game #5

SB 208/RC 200/KPJ 197

Roman still led 3 games to 2, but now there was a break in the action…then on a day off, I think…8/26/11 let’s say…and there was something extra-special about this Cup finale…The Nightmare Before Christmas’ Oogy Boogy was the Cup, courtesy a Disneyland special from Roman C.

Would it bring him defeat…or victory? Damn, it didn’t look good after Game #6, the low scoring trend continued, and so did the Bootyray comeback. Could she win four in a row to take it all?

Game #6

SB 221/RC 180/KPJ 144

HELL YES she could, and did. Roman rolled a Yahtzee early and thought it was over, but the Bootyray couldn’t be stopped. She now has 16 Cups, equaling Roman Castevet and only one behind the Pimp’s 17.

Game #7

SB 255/KPJ 211/RC 200

Yahtzee: RC (1)
