WEEK 4 GSPOT

!!!POWER-RANKINGS!!!

East Bound and Down #1: Although they tied in Week 3, we cannot overlook the fact that this team is playing for a tryout on NDW and the Superhero League, and the rest of the league is here for the beers and the headache that ensues on Friday morning at work. With that kind of driving factor, we cannot see this team letting the pain of Week 3 drag them down.

Roll Another Bunt #2: After their strong performance against EBD, they proved to the rest of the league that they're ready to grind it out with a full set of lungs.

Saved by the Ball #3: They have yet to let up a run all year in their Lighthouse League games, however, they have yet to play the top tier teams. Time will tell if this team will overtake the top spot.

Team Death Pig #4: After an impressive defensive performance, Team Death Pig overtakes the team they stepped all over in Week 3, proving they are contenders in the Lighthouse League.

Smoosh Moosh Panthers #5: Taking the biggest drop in the power rankings this week is the lovable, but clearly nonathletic, Smoosh Moosh Panthers. They clearly are NOT who we thought they were.

Tinderellas #6: With a lack of run production in Week 3, the Tinderellas took a stumble in rankings this week. They have a difficult match-up in Week 4 against RAB, so this may not be the last fall we see from them this season.

Swamp Donkeys #7: With a run differential of -8, it's no surprise this team falls in the bottom of the barrel in the power rankings. However, they are riding a season high 1 game winning streak, so they're poised for a move up the ladder.

VIA Agency #8: Tough to argue this team being where they are at, given their -1.5 points in the standings this season. We will need to see some positive numbers in the standings before we consider this team moving.

Brews on First #9: This team has put up only 1 run in 3 games played, while letting up a whopping 12 runs to the competition. Every league needs a team in last place, and trust us, we all respect you for it.

[[[PREDICTIONS]]]

GAME OF THE WEEK:

TDP vs SBB – TDP is coming off an outstanding defensive performance in Week 3 holding SMP to a big fat donut in the run department, however, SBB has yet to let up a run after two weeks. SBB's scoreless streak is rivaling Jason Kidd's at this point (minus the beating of the wife thing), and we anticipate the streak to continue for Week 4. SBB 3-0.

SD vs VIA – SD brought the noise in Week 3 pushing their first run across the plate, and believe it or not, they ended up with a W. VIA had a rough go in Week 3 getting outscored 5-0, bringing their total runs scored this season after 3 weeks to a measly 2 runs. With this kind of run production, it comes as no surprise the team is 0-3 this season, and we expect the rain to keep falling (terrible news for the VIA in their skinny denim jeans). SD 4-1.

RAB vs TD – RAB handed EBD their first mark outside the W column in Week 3, battling for a tie against the NDW hopefuls. TD, on the other hand, had flashbacks to their Junior High days, struggling to get past first base. As long as RAB can continue riding high, we predict another W for the blazing tie-dyers.

EBD vs BoF – EBD looked human in Week 3 tying with RAB in a nail-biter. I don't know who could have seen that coming (except of course us predicting an upset last week), but they get tossed a softball for Week 4 against BoF. Unfortunately (or luckily), we missed the cross-over game that BoF played in last, but we can imagine how well that went for BoF. EBD by a landslide – 7-0.

CROSS-OVER GAME

SMP vs HML – Given the fact that SMP seemed to forget how to play kickball in Week 3, their only hope is to out-drink the competition in Week 4, black out, and forget about the score, seemingly convincing themselves they got the W. Sloshball will certainly be demanded in this match-up, but all the booze in the world can't change the fact that HML goes home with the W – 7-2.

** on a side note, there are some questions arising that the tie-dye colors of SD looks almost identical to RAB – we assume RAB just forgot what team they are on **

Once again, we went another week without any submissions, and with the Bruins game coming on in 15 minutes, we do not have enough time to publicly embarrass an individual in the Bachelor/Bachelorette of the week. With that being said, it would be cool if someone sent in a submission – it depresses us when we load up the email and only see Amazon offers and GooglePlus invitations (Ain't nobody got time for that). Email is mainegmot@gmail.com.

Go Bruins! Krug for President.

Sincerely,

“The Lighthouse Losers”
