Lindy's Latte Week 11

How about those Thursday point adjustments!  I was shocked enough the first time I tied Dave and they adjusted my points up one and then when I tied Curtis and they adjusted my points up two, but seriously? Adjusting Dave down five points and me up eight for a starting line-up tie and the big Cobra win coming from the bench? Who would’ve guessed this is even possible?

And then I woke up to this:

I’ve experienced both the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Yet I will not give up my dream of a new championship belt, blinged and bright. I did read Nick’s power-rankings and I am only behind by a tenth of a point. It’s unfortunate that I play Roswelker this week because he broke my winning streak the last time I played him. Oh, yes. I think I broke his losing streak as well. I’ll remain humble and try to spend my Sunday away from the television so I can imagine I’m winning.

Maybe I’ll head off to Sheridan Square and join Catherine for a hard latte. But first, I have my own predictions for this week’s match-ups:

Probation Probation vs. Versace Versace – These two perseverating teams should be well matched. I can’t say I agree with Curtis’s decision not to lose a player to bring in someone who could have scored last week. He obviously spent some time assessing the situation, which I’m he’ll just let his team ride and chalk up another win against a team that is bucking probation.

Mosstradamus vs. Mama’s Homemade Salsa – A meeting of M&M’s. ESPN has the salsa projected to win. Both sons have told me not to listen to projections. Therefore, for no other reason at all, I will base my prediction by being contrary. Let’s see, contrary to ESPN or to the boys? Hmmm, Victor Cruz or des Bryant? Marshawn or LeSean? Rivers or Griffin. I think it’ll come down to their kickers and Prater will break the tie.

Insane Clown Posse vs. Rank This – No, unlike Corey, I’m not a vindictive person, nor would I blindly side with my husband. We’ve all watched that tree fall from poor choices of starting lineups. But I think the whole league is gunning for Dave’s luck to run out. I hear there will be a special prayer service on Saturday afternoon at St. Anthony of Padua that will be broadcast online so Sean and Corey can add to the power of prayer. Yes, even Catherine will be praying at Sheridan Square. I predict ICP will be victorious.

Broken Clavicles vs. Kaep Happy – Smith vs. Smith. Man vs. Mom. ESPN has Cheryl to win this one and I have to agree with them. I think Nick Foles will pull off another high scoring game that will put Matt Ryan to shame. I’ve been waiting for Cheryl to come back all season and I think this is her week. Sorry, Matt. I think your team does have a chance, but Cheryl really needs this one.

We’ll be keeping things simple this week with our coffee drinks.  

Bailey’s Irish Coffee

2 oz Bailey’s Irish Cream

6 oz hot coffee

1 oz Irish Whiskey

1 dollop whipped cream

Combine first 3 ingredients in a tall Irish coffee glass. Top with whipped cream. Drink and pray for the ICP victory. Cheers.
