Ghost Man On Third - ME Superhero / Lighthouse

Welcome to Week 6. This is the time of the season to look at how far your team has come, or in the Misfits and We Only Come From Behind's cases, ask what went wrong. By now, the great teams are playing out playoff seed scenarios, while the greatest teams are planning which brand of champagne to pop after the championship game. For a select few of you, the champagne bottles will become a reality, but most of you will only get to watch. Just enjoy the fact that all teams make the playoffs, so at least you can tell your mother that much, and with that, I'll let Hop lead us into the recaps... Fuck Recaps. If everyone wasn't using people dying for freedom as a chance to go on a 4 day bender than they aren't true Americans. Tinderellas beat Ball Busters in a close game 3-1. The game was about as exciting as AIDS (sorry to any of you that have it!). The Tindies continue their dominance.  Misfits played We've Got the Runs and lost 5-3. We've Got the Runs were down a bun

What's up LIGHTHOUSERS! This is a special week for the GSPOT crew, as we have a newcomer to the staff. Our very own Chris Hopper has now joined the team, making it his third official team (that we all know of) that he has joined that no one wanted him on. Congrats to Hopper, we are all thrilled to have the biggest ego'd/shortest man join the staff, and although your mother will be paying me $50 to allow you to write on this, I assure you, it played little into my decision. Besides, I've always been a philanthropist and have helped out the less fortunate, and I figured what better way to help out than to allow the runner-up of last year's Lighthouse League feel like he won something. So here's to you Hop - channel those tears pouring down your cheeks into writer's gold and welcome to the GSPOT. How about some recaps... S3XT Panthers (2) vs We've Got The Runs (0) The S3XT Panthers came out firing on all cylinders, much to the prediction of the GSPOT team, and

                  Here comes another installment of "Will. We. Play?". I'm feeling a little more optimistic this time around, but if we hear one rumble of thunder or see one flash of lightning then we will be playing unsponsored sloshball (j/k)! Last week was probably the most marquee set up for games we will see all season. Top 2, 3v4, two sloshball juggernauts. All the games lived up to the hype. This week a challenge has been issued by Talbot to the Lighthouse league. A 24 vs 24 dizzy bat relay race. For those of you who missed out last year, lucky for you I have a video with expert commentary. Quick takes this week, since I've been busy and people really only want to see the video below. Power Rankings #10. Pitches Be Krazy - Good to see these guys fielded a full team last week. Didn't do them much good, but they won the bar belt and that's all that really matters to me. #9. Kick Tease - Solid game against PP last week. May have set

What's up Lighthousers! I want to apologize up front for the briefness of this post - I bet my iPad that the Bruins beat the Canadiens in six.... and the rest of the story you can piece together yourself. For some reason, public libraries are packed in the morning and I had to wait to get an open computer. Regardless, persistence prevailed. No recaps this week because my teammates decided to make 3 gallons of mojitos and I can't remember my own game, let alone the others, and much to my surprise, no one sent in a recap of their game. So in lieu of the recaps, I thought this would be an appropriate time to update the power rankings. Power Rankings #1 (1) - S3XT Panthers - This may come as a shock to many people, given the fact that the Tinderellas have yet to lose a game and sport the best record in the league, but they have yet to play either of the Panther teams, and to be the best you must beat the best.   #2 (2) - Tinderellas - They've been consistent all year and have

            Hola! Get your Corona's ready and wax those dirty staches, because it's Ocho de Mayo week and it's beautiful out. This well be an action packed week. We've got sloshball, Bruins, the NFL draft, and a giant Matt Shaker pinata. Also, we have some of the best games you'll see all season. Last week was practically uneventful. All the teams that should have won, did (except NDW). Then only four people showed up to Pat's Pizza to rage and I'm pretty sure OPT was closed. I'll give the league a pass on last week because most of us thought we weren't playing. Don't be a MexiCan't tonight. Week 3 Power Rankings #10. Kick Tease - Rough start for these guys. Superhero league is a grind for new teams. You just got to push through and remember that some teams rarely win but have way more fun than some of the best teams.  #9. Pitches Be Krazy - Hopefully last week's forfeit was an anomaly. Hate to see people who are willing to show u

Lighthousers!!! How the hell is it Week 3 already? If you've done your job and represented your team to your best ability (i.e. partied), you shouldn't remember the first two weeks as well. If you're the type of person who has remembered it all, do not worry, because you have a great opportunity to change things this week with a Cinco de Mayo theme. Put on your best sombrero and fake mustache and relearn why you told yourself several years ago that you would never drink tequila again. How about some recaps. I would be cheating myself if I didn't take the time to mention I went a perfect 4 for 4 on predictions last week. I am now 6 for 8 on the year, giving me a better percentage than every weather man in the business. Surprisingly, I received a recap this week. There we still six other teams who chose to continue their string of consecutive weeks without sending in a recap. If I can say anything about your lack of effort, I'd say you're consistent. Lucky for you

          We made it through week 1, and now all you new players will probably get a taste of the wrath of Portland Parks. That's right folks, it's time for our first (of many) weather watch. Everyone in the league is promoted to Joe Cupo status and are strongly encouraged to ask Hopper every 5 minutes whether we are canceled or not. Then, when we do get shut down, make sure you take a pic of how beautiful the day turned out. Generally 7 or 8 drops of rain is enough to soak Payson Park, so I wouldn't be too optimistic. Last week was insane. The top team lost to a new team, we had ridiculous wind that made Houghton look like Aroldis Chapman and turn throws to first into throws to home. We have a new number 1 this week and much to Papi's chagrin, it's not NDW. Last week was our first week at the newest sponsor bar, Rivalries. Personally, I’d give them a 3/10. Things I like: Food is good, female bartenders, 360 degrees of sports. Things I didn’t like: Too crowded (it
