GSPOT Final Post? :(

Lighthousers (aka the better league to be a part of)...

We made it through the first week of playoffs, and although the total number of players has dropped off, the intensity has only grown. We are down to the last week of the Spring season, where champions are crowned and the losers spend the next couple months dreaming of what could have been, using a heartbreaking defeat in the playoffs as an excuse to be an alcoholic. For a select few of you, you'll be on top of the world, bragging to all your friends about how you won your kickball league, and then get pissed at them for not comprehending the weight of that title. For the rest of you, the next couple months will be tough... you will show up at Rivalries on a Thursday night dreaming of a time when your team will be there celebrating with the gold ball, silently telling yourself that next season will be the one. What happens these next 24 hours will determine which side of the picture you're on. How about some predictions...

We've Got The Runs vs. S3XT Panthers

We've Got The Runs put on quite the show against the favored Ex Panthers, squeaking by with a victory last week. All was looking great for WGTR's until the team showed their true colors, striking one of the Ex Panther's catchers straight in the forehead. Now although the S3XT and Ex Panthers went their separate ways, the media blew up the fact that there was any love lost. Truth be told, that couldn't have been further from the truth. The S3XT Panthers have publicly stated that they will dedicate this game to the injured Ex Panther, Kim Johnson, and also donate two 30-racks to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV). Since WGTR's has been known to strike women, the S3XT Panthers have instructed all women on the team (including Trevor Ross) to wear heavy padding to prevent injuries when the woman-haters go in for the attack. Given the weight of a close friend getting severely injured last week, and the domestic abuse-throw-me-in-jail attitude of WGTR's, we see WGTR's winning in a closely contested fight, 5-4.

Swamp Donkeys vs. Tinderellas

The tindies smoked the misfits in a joke of a game while the swamp donkeys used the beard power to move to the final four. The tindies are missing not only their best player but the league leader in on base percentage (only 2 outs all season) Big D Dom. They are also missing two top notch outfielders. In an interview with the women of the view captain James Chatmas had stated that they plan on getting white girl wasted during this theme week( he was already drunk during the interview, there is no theme week James). James Moore on the donkeys is out for blood. He's sick of being a top teir team that can't do anything in the playoffs and said if they win the ship he will shave his entire body. Due to the bold statement from JM, we think this one goes to the donkeys 3-1.

There you have it kids, the last GSPOT of the season. I think I speak for Hopper and myself in saying we truly appreciate all of you reading along and the support you put forth for this league. This GSPOT is especially bittersweet for me, as this will be my last season and last post ever (relocating to Hotlanta for work). As awkward a look every one of us gets when we tell people we are playing kickball on Thursday nights, they don't realize what goes into this league. Maybe our kindergarten and elementary schools had it figured out when they told us we had to play kickball on recess. The friendships I've made here are everlasting, and I can't praise the men and women that set this up year after year enough. I'm sure I'll see most of you Thursday night, but those who I don't see, be sure to attend the end of season party at Rivalries Friday night. Starts at 7:00pm and there will be two free kegs with tons of WAKA shwag, take advantage.

You stay classy Lighthouse.
