Lindy's Latte, Week Six

Lindy’s Latte – Week 6

It’s too early in the season to be in first place. Being on top in week 6 means there is no place to go but down! Not that I don’t have confidence in my Cobra Commanders, it’s just the way things work.

Welcome to a Saturday morning Latte break. I apologize to all the other punctual bloggers for my being late this week. Corey, thanks for the Hewett Humor. Not sure I would’ve made it through the Halloween extravaganza yesterday without it. Then came triple trouble with Nick posting his rankings and Will showing up to speak his smack-talk in person. Sean’s silence penetrates beyond the blog universe. I believe he’s secretly, singlehandedly trying to undo the entire system. Sean for Commissioner 2015! Sorry, Nick. Just playing with you.

I’m going to make this brief because I’m still barefoot, in the kitchen, but not cooking. Actually my entire identity and place in this family was questioned this morning when Sarah told me she would rather wait for Bobby B to get home and cook her breakfast than have me do it immediately—because he cooks a great breakfast! Like I said, there’s nowhere else to go but down.

First ranked Cobra Commanders (678 points) will be facing the fierce second ranked #Free Josh Gordan (663 points). The numbers predict a one point victory by CC, but that was before I forgot to pull Reggie Wayne before Thursday’s game! Dumb, dumb, dumb. I think Nick will have this one in an easy win. I’m not giving up, mind you.

Battles between husbands and wives can be brutal. Trust me, I know. Third ranked Luck Has It (650 points) will match up against sixth ranked Rank This (556 points). That’s nearly a 100 total point difference so far! The adjusted projected numbers for this week insist Cheryl will decimate Dave’s team. I’ll be visiting the Smith house to check for bruises. Go Cheryl!

Another matchup to beware of is between fourth ranked Strictly Bangers (formerly known as 53 Fire with 640 points) and eighth ranked Randy Savages (with 549 points). I’ve begged Bobby B to go easy on Will, but the mere fact he changed his team’s name just to toy with his youngest, indicates he will show no mercy. The numbers predict Bobby B will be this week’s high scorer and Will, well, won’t. Pull it together Will and do your stuff.

Fifth ranked Kessel Runners (580 points) should have a easy week against ninth ranked U Guessed It (528 points). Corey, I’m going to miss trying to figure out what your team name means! Sean, I hope I’m not jinxing you by predicting a huge win here. Corey has a great team and I know one of these days they’re going to rise up and put out the numbers they’re capable of.

It seems each week we must witness two brothers duking it out and this week is no different. Seventh ranked Hocka Flocka Flame (551 points) and tenth ranked Staff Infection (526 points) only have 25 points separating them so this should be a curious fight. I’ve learned not to trust Curt’s early week projections because he likes to swing in, stealthy when no one is watching, right before the game and bring in players we didn’t know he owned to pump up his team. Right now the adjusted projections have Matt with a distinct advantage. We’ll see!

Good luck to everyone. Since Bobby B’s breakfasts are so much better than mine I’ll leave the menu to him. I’ve heard whispering of French Toast and bacon and possibly some Kahlua slipped into the coffee, but we shall see.
