Week 4 - Preview

Shit's getting crazy! I haven't been watching the NHL finals, but it sounds like our league is headed in that direction.  As in... people biting each other.  I'm excited!

This week we have two people out:  Steve and Justin.  Frank has replaced Steve with Bobby Flay, who carries a damn good individual handicap of 6 (mine is 13.8 for comparison. Gomez is also a 6).  I've gone the other way, replacing Justin with Gorecki, who carries an individual goofy-handicap of 3.  He's almost gone pro in that category!

**Note** Tee times were shuffled around due to Bito, once again, having other obligations.  So make sure you know what time you tee off.

Justin/Chandler vs. Robb/Ryan - Justin/Chandler was going to have to give one stroke to the Sandbaggers... but Gorecki kinda threw a wrench into that.  So we're going to play this match straight-up.  Chandler has been playing like shit lately, while Gorecki hasn't been playing much at all (and is quite lucky to even be allowed out).  Robb is back and ready to pound some drives in the same manner that he pounds... nevermind.  Buchanan is in a slump, but Robb will pull him out of it in the same manner that he pulls out of.... nevermind.  Prediction: Robb/Ryan win 74-80 (gross, net, straight-up, whatever).

Frank/Steve vs. E-Flo/Cong - This match is hard to predict.  On one hand you have a ringer substitute for Steve, Frank with Smithkey's bag of heroin and E-Flo with a declining golf game.  On the other hand you have Cong back in the line-up, a more than likely chance Frank/Bobby will be hungover and the constant sound of safety patrol whistles all match.  Frank's group has to give the Asians one stroke, so it should be a close match on paper.  But I'm keeping all these stats on the internets, and thus do not use paper.  Prediction: Frank/Steve drop Fat Man on Nagasaki winning 73-79 (net).

Bito/GoMex vs. Reid/Geoff - Bito/Gomez went low last week, shooting a season record of 72.  So they now have to give 6 strokes to Ebony and Ivory, who are winning despite shooting high scores (84, 78, 77).  Based on that trend I see Team Oreo recording another 77, which forces Bito/Gomez to shoot 70 to get a win.  That's not in my crystal ball.  Prediction: Reid/Geoff win 71-74 (net).
