The "Red Sox" didn't win this one!

TT & 'Irish' Gallagher were paired again today, just as last week, against the venerable Italian duo of 'Big Al' DioDati and Frank 'G-Man' Gentile with notably different results. TT/Irish dropped both sets that were played to completion (2 and 1) and were not competitive. TT's serve was ineffective for the first hour of play, failing to hold until his fourth service opportunity. Irish's game dropped dramatically from last week. Irish sported 'red socks' which didn't even serve as a distraction to the opponents; indeed, they may have acted as a magnet as Big Al/G-Man played as many balls as possible in Irish's direction. Regretably, he was not up to the challenge. Kudos to the "Italian Duo" who made a conscious effort to adjust to the circumstances. Of small solace to the TT/Irish team was the 3-2 lead they held in set 3 when play was called. TT's was heartened by his lack of back pain today and that his serve had responded in the second half of the match as he held his last 3 service games and dealt a few aces in the process.
