chalk it up to the game

When something occurs you have no control over and nothing/no one has direct responsibility for. Essentially there is no use fighting the situation because nothing is going to change it. Throw in the towel, give up

Man, nothing seems to be working out, might as well chalk it up to the game.

pick-up game

A game, usually in basketball, that starts spontaneously by a group of random people or with friends. There aren't any refs or officiating, and the calls are all on the players, which can get a little unfair and annoying depending on who you play with. The players pick the teams and rules.

*Jack and John shooting around at the court, while Guy 1 and Guy 2 are doing the same on another court*

Jack- Hey, you think we can take those two guys? Let have a 2-on-2 pick-up game with them.

John- I dunno, Guy 1 is 7 feet muscular and black, and Guy 2 is fat, hairy, sweaty, and shirtless. I better not post him up.

Jack- alright then, I call Guy 1, and you'll got Guy 2. We're going up to 21, win by 2, make it take it.

pull up game

When someone has no idea you are anywhere near and you pull up in their face to see if they are lying and to show that you are on your shit!!

He thought he was slick but my pull up game was tight! The look on his face when I showed up was all I needed to verify that he was lying!
