Week 2 Lighthouse League Recaps/Predictions

Welcome to Week 2 Lighthousers! What a first week. I hope you all still have your jobs and your wallets. If last week was any indication of how this season is going to be, Rivalries will be putting up four new locations by June. Oh, we also played kickball (or something that mimicked the game closely with the gale force winds). Last week brought back some sweet sweet memories.... Tinderellas being sloppy even before their game started... the Superhero league arguing over balls and strikes and basically not having one ounce of fun... the S3XT Panthers continuing right where they left off from last season. And let us not forget about the upsets, because if you look at my expert analysis and predictions from last week, you would quickly realize that I'm not an expert analyst. On second thought, why don't you not look back at my analysis from last week. Here's some recaps from the games.

I generally don't remember much of anything after 7pm on Thursdays. My reader numbers were down last season... Makes me sad. Spread the word and let's make this season the best yet for the GMoT. I promise I'll stop mailing weeks in this season. On to the rankings!   POWER RANKINGS WEEK 1 How this generally works: I rank each team in descending order based on how good I think you are. Don't be offended if you're ranked last. You're probably just not very good at kick

Week 1 Lighthouse League Rankings/Predictions

Whats up LIGHTHOUSERS!!!! Can you believe another season is already here? It feels like just yesterday we were wondering if the lights would ever come back on at Fitzpatrick. Hope you all have saved up your sick time - if you haven't, you'll be wishing you did come this Friday morning. To start us out this season, I figured it would be smart to recap the results of last season. In a historic match-up, the Panthers walked away with the gold ball, after a last inning heroic rally, to put away the Tinderellas. What occurred after that can only be remembered in screenshots of Snapchats and TMZ.com coverage, but one thing is for certain, the Panthers are hungry for the repeat. With that being said, there are a total of SEVEN other teams this season who hope to spoil the reunion, and with the shake-ups of the offseason, it's anybody's championship. Due to failed contract negotiations and massive egos, the Panthers have split their team into two. The Tinderellas have also foll
