Ghost Man On Third - ME Superhero / Lighthouse

         What the fuck happened last week? No, really, I blacked out, what happened? Our first week out of the swamp and we have upsets galore and complete rankings armageddon. The prospect of an undefeated team is gone after 2 weeks as Muff Without 2 Men, Presturd Worldwide and Hand Made Loss all went down without a fight. FTB remained defeated and Rum Riot and MDC played an immensely boring game. We had our first trade this season (more on that later), and my bright pink shirt and American flag bandana probably won me "Best Dressed" for the first week of bowling (they'll think I'm homeless when I've worn it 6 weeks in a row). Anyway, on to the rankings! #8. Fall-Tea Balls (0-2) (LW: 8, NC) Not really sure why FTB let T2R off the hook and played kick away. Could be because last time they got embarrassed and were forced to make them forfeit to save face, or maybe they are waiting until the end of the season to make them forfeit this time. Two things they can ...

In a shocking turn of events, we received our first recap of the Lighthouse season, submitted by none other than our very own CHopper . This is unedited, unfiltered and extremely bias, but a recap nonetheless.... Swamp v tinderellas- tinderellas came to play fueled up by some gatoRage and started whooping the donkeys like they were a piñata on Steve Heads super sweet sixteen. The donkeys could never get momentum because they were shook up by all the trash talking these lighthouse lushes on the other team were doing.  Smoosh v tinderellas- as predicted the tinderellas couldn't pace themselves drinking for a double header week. They had a nice lead an some great defense until the drunken 4th inning when smoosh got lucky on a couple plays to tie it up. The game finished in a boring tie because James Moore was still upset from the beat down he received right before and just wanted to go home instead of playing another inning. Although the anus' did not beat the powerhouse smoosh te...

Given the washout of last week, the GSPOT team had an opportunity to sit down and catch up on some fan mail and answer some hard-nosed questions about how we come up with our predictions. Our pick for the best question of the week comes from Ricky in Topeka, Kansas, cell block 4217.  Ricky writes, "Whats up GSPOT - my bottom B and I were wondering how you come up with your predictions each week. It would seem like you would stand a better chance of getting the games right if you polled a group of senior citizens." Great question Ricky - love the enthusiasm, and thanks for reading. The GSPOT team does hours and hours of research, crunching numbers and watching CNN, monitoring stocks and bonds and other smart things to come up with our final predictions. We play Bingo with each team assigned a card, Monopoly with each team a specific piece and Sorry because we enjoy the game. As with any forecast, mistakes are made, but obviously none worse than the one you made. We hope that y...

Week 2 Rankings Sorry this is a little late this week, I was too busy winning Port Sports kickball championships... What a wet and wild week 1 we had on Thursday. We first would a like a moment of silence for the death of NDW this week............... Thanks. Who knew that changing their name to "Time to Retire" would be oh so fitting for a team that struggled against Cobb's team, then was completely dismantled by Muff N Men. As you may have guessed, we have a new #1 team this week. So, well done Muff N Bez, you guys can finally walk the walk AND talk the talk for once, so enjoy it. Wet field conditions inflated scores, and playing in the swamp that is the Payson softball field, you can expect it to be wet on a weekly basis. Big Mac should make a killing this season with all the swamp induced injuries, so buy some PCN stock and take next Summer off! #8. Fall-Tea Balls (0-1) (LW: 7, -1) FTB started their Fall off by dropping goose eggs for 5 innings against PW. T...

So here we are folks, Week Number 2. The temperatures cooling…. leaves are changing… our livers now know that the Fall season is upon us and are working double time to make it possible to drive to work in the morning… our bosses have already begun to recognize that oh-so-familiar stench of booze first thing when you walk in the door 25 minutes late….. this can only mean one thing - you're doin' it right. Week 2 brings us to the following predictions, and if it’s anything close to the horrible predictions we had with our fantasy football team drafts, we suggest you avoid placing bets. Wait For It vs. Prepare Uranus: The Mighty Uranus had a solid showing in Week One to only come up short (see what we did there, Hopper?), as did Wait For It against Kick Dog. This game is a pure pick'em because, quite frankly, neither one of these teams played to their potential in Week One. You're both better than that. Are we being a little harsh? Probably, but like our fathers us...

Fall Preseason Preview This is the moment that 13% of you have been waiting for. Hard to believe that it's already Fall season and Summer is just about over. Soon enough the ladies of the league will be trading in their short shorts and yoga pants for sweat pants, which will definitely help Busque's defense. As with every Fall, week 1 has already been cancelled due to people being too lazy to sign up, which ends Hopper's Ripkenlike streak of weeks played without a cancellation. I will be making my triumphant return to reffing this season so watch yourselves (Stevey) because every game will be called 100% correctly. What's in store for us this season? Will the lights go out every week 45 minutes early? Will NDW's reign end? Will Bez make it through a whole season without his team hating him? Will Hopper stop raging? We'll find out starting Thursday! At least for the preseason, I have created a Maddenesque rating system that will give each team an Offensi...

It's time for another season. People's livers have recovered to around 60% and their bosses have actually started to consider a promotion - time to halt the progress of both. Without further adieu, the Lighthouse League Fall 2013 Preseason Rankings for all your reading enjoyment. Preseason rankings: #1 Prepare Uranus - It's the "Tinderellas" second season in the league and they already feel the need to change their name in hopes that this season will be different than the last. After a disappointing end to the spring season, the Urani (?)  are looking to prove that they are the team to beat. With a solid core group returning (and an extremely easy schedule - you can thank CHopper), we are expecting these gym "crossfit" rats to coast through the regular season. We still have questions of this team's mental toughness (alcohol tolerance)  in the playoffs, however, we see the PU as the team to beat. Smoosh Smoosh Panthers - What can we say about the Pa...
