Horseshoes and Shamrocks

TennisTitan returned to the 'wars' at the YTC this date...with little success. Titan paired with Frank 'G-Man' Gentile against John 'Irish' Gallagher and Joe 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz. Gallagher sported green socks today in deference to St. Patrick's day this week rather than his traditional, distracting red socks. 'Irish' played one whale of a match. G-Man and TT agree that this was his best outing ever and the results showed it. Irish/Gimpy Knees took the first set 6-3 and came back from a 1-4 deficit to take the nightcap 7-5. 'GK' played his usual solid game coverting many 'droppers' at net while deftly mixing in his powerful top spin forehand with his slice backhand, keeping TT & G-Man off the offensive. But that being said, 'Irish' was the difference maker today raising his game appreciably to compliment 'GK's' fire power. The disgruntled Titan was overheard to ask 'G-Man' as the defeated and disspirited duo left the court, "Frank, do you think John had a horseshoe up his ass today, or was it the four leaf clover shamrock he used as a vibration dampener that did us in"?
