BUSH-wacked in Yonkers

TT participated in one of his favorite foursomes today at the YTC. TT and Roy 'Mr.Spin' Marzullo were paired against Bill "Energizer Bunny Legs" Tully and his cohort Max "Tutor' Tuchman. Although the results suggest a lopsided match (6-2, 6-1, 3-2) for EBL/Tutor, the play on both sides of the net was exceptional. Shining brightly this rainy afternoon was the effective net play of 'Tutor' who was the difference maker on many a long point. The man used 'all his racquet throughout the contest' and "if there was a house to build today," TT said "Max, you'd be 'the framer,' EBL would be the architect." Mr. Spin was less effective today with his deep lobs and cross court backspin dinks, but TT's inability to generate power on his serve due to back problems was surely a determinant factor. "Crying towel please." EBL overcame similar back difficulties but his greater all court game more than compensated for his reduced number of 'digs' and put-away overheads at the net. Accompanying this narrative are post-match photos of the doubles teams. TT is seen wailing on the shoulder of Mr.Spin as he laments aloud for all to hear, "Roy, maybe my tears will finally get this undershirt clean." Tutor and EBL are heard to say as they held their racquets aloft, "TT, we Kerry-ed the day against you and Mr. Spin." See you next week.
