Ghost Man On Third - ME Superhero / Lighthouse

Here we are, the last night of kickball. Weather.com says it’s going to be chilly with a 50% chance of rain. Slippery kickballs on turf make for high scoring kickball so ditch the kids and come down to Fitzy to get your last taste of WAKA for 6 months. Last week we saw T2R end their season and bust my bracket in the top of the 1st inning. MDC almost pulling off a perfect game that wouldn’t have counted because they forfeited, and perhaps the game of the season that we’ll see the conclusion of tonight. Before I get to tonight’s predictions, let’s remind whoever may be reffing at any point tonight a couple key rules that came into play last week. I’ll highlight the important parts. 10.10 When a base is displaced during play, any runner is safe while in contact with the base's original and correct location . All displaced bases should be restored at the end of each play (see Rule 1.01b) 10.07 Base Running on Overthrows; a. an overthrow is a ball thrown, kicked, or deflected

With the Red Sox only a couple hours away, apologies in advance for the short introduction and write-up. We are busy converting our vehicles into duck boats for the pending riots in Boston. We hope you enjoy the last GSPOT of the season, and thank you all for reading. Onto the predictions! We Only Come From Behind vs. Prepare Uranus: Well here it is. Win and you get an opportunity to play for the gold ball, lose and you get to ref the game that you could have been a part of. We're not sure if Prepare Uranus was actually preparing their butts for We Only Come From Behind or if they were stating that the other team should prepare theirs, but regardless, here they are. It was a tale of two seasons for these two teams, as WOCFB marched through the regular season with an impressive record, and PU limped its way into the playoffs. Defense wins championships, and unfortunately for WOCFB, they will be playing without their starting pitcher. Time will tell if they will be able to rally arou

Time for the moment everyone on Muff N Men has been waiting for! The great playoff preview! Granted the regular season isn’t over yet because our commish was scared to start the season on time, let’s just all assume that Fall-Tea Balls win their warm up game against MDC. If that doesn’t happen, then all that will be affected this week is 2 games, so pretty much half of this write up is contingent upon that game. So, Muff N Men locked up the BCS title and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. MDC finally got their first win by suckering TC into a kick away game. TC completed their collapse that started week 4 with a blowout loss and a forfeit. PW is limping into the playoffs and I can’t remember anything else because I’ve been in Vegas for the last 5 days and can barely remember yesterday. Here are the playoff rankings and odds of winning. To place any wagers, see Stevey, he’ll be the one with the shorts that hang down to his ankles. Playoff Power Rankings #8. The Closer

By now your team's Captain has lost approximately 12 full hours of sleep debating on line-ups and position locks. Your significant other is to the point of an end-all fight as you have not spoken about anything other than kickball since 12:00am Monday morning (especially if you both play on the same team). Your friend circle has collapsed inward on itself and now consists of the 15-something people that will don the same WAKA colored jersey as you on Thursday night.... and if all three of these things don't apply to you at this very moment, you clearly have not properly prepared yourself for..... kickball playoffs. One make-up game this week, in which we have WOCFB destroying WFI and killing all their momentum going into their first playoff game, 8-0. Now on to the important stuff. SD vs PU: What a match-up. These two teams battled all season long for the #4 and #5 seeds, and now meet for the third time, however, this time they're playing for keeps. In the first matchup, th

Be warned, I’m writing this about 20 minutes before the Red Sox game so don’t expect much! Not even sure why I’m bothering to write this because we all know there won’t be kickball tomorrow (Thanks Scott). Congratulations to Ryan Houghton for being the first person in who knows how long to be thrown out of a game last week. Just to point out something to everyone to show how stupid T2R was acting last week. They have the most seasons played in the league. They have 2 former commissioners. Yet somehow none of them know this rule: 1.04 Any player or Referee wholly or partly in fair territory is an extension of fair territory. Any live base runner outside the kicking box is fair, even when wholly in foul territory. A player jumping from fair territory is in fair territory while in the air. A player in foul territory does not extend foul territory by jumping or reaching into fair territory. You may want to educate yourself before you go dumping beers on refs. Speaking of complainin

Welcome to Week 7 Lighthousers! This is your typical October kickball, where playoff seeds are solidified and dreams fall faster than the leaves. We at GSPOT would like to applaud all of you once again, as we have had zero beers dumped on fellow kickballers (unintentionally does not count) and zero ejections, which just proves that this league is the one to be in. We have also dominated the bar belt for most of the season, and a lot of the credit needs to be extended to our very own Chris Hopper. Coming out of nowhere, he has ran a tight ship all season and also pushed away the rain clouds that Corliss has in his back pocket (we still love you Scott).  With that being said, we present to you the Week 7 predictions and power rankings. Best of luck to all the Lighthousers this week, and may God have mercy on you all on Friday morning. Enjoy. Wait for It vs. We Only Come From Behind: What's surprising this week for WOCFB is that they're matched up against two teams that they have

Oh how we love Week 6. Our livers have turned a new leaf (it is Autumn now kids) and are actually encouraging mass consumption of alcohol on Thursday nights. Our bosses are expecting less of us on Fridays. Even our co-workers applaud our continued efforts of slacking off, as they too can enjoy the stress-free Fridays. And we at the GSPOT team also applaud you, as due to your continued perseverance, we can always say we were not the drunkest ones there. Thank you and we hope you enjoy our Week 6 predictions. SD vs WFI:  The Donkeys fell short once again in their Week 5 match-up against a red-hot and sexy Panther team, however, if there is one team that has continuously gotten teams out of ruts, it is WFI. WFI is the only team in both leagues to have lost every game, but fear not WFI, as there are some perks to this disappointing accomplishment (or extreme lack there of). First off, there is ZERO pressure: All you are looking to do is score as many runs as your competition, and no one is

Welcome to week 5! Lots and lots of shutouts last week as the top teams are starting to figure out how to play kickball again (apologies to MDC, PW, FTB and TC). Muff N Bez seemed to have kissed and made up #winsbeforefriends, and T2R almost looked like NDW last week. Hopper has decided to give out a pitcher to the best mustache this week at Dewey’s. I’m on to you buddy, the Red Sox just moved on and my beard is going no where. Fear the beard! It’s that time of the season where I start sandbagging for the playoffs so any and all recaps and commentary of your game is appreciated!
