Ascension Thurday? Cinco de mayo?

TennisTitan's return from Florida for the last scheduled YTC match of the season was well worth the 1300 mile drive. Titan paired with Bill 'EBL' Tully for an extraordinary 55 minute first set against Max 'Tutor' Tuchman and the irrepressible Roy 'Mr. Spin' Marzullo. Mr. Spin was in exceptional form leading his underdog team to a commanding 4 - 0 lead before yielding a game to TT/EBL. TennisTitan followed that winning game by holding serve himself, telling EBL, "We break Mr. Spin now and we're going to win this set." Indeed, after capturing game 7 to put the teams back on serve, then having EBL broken in the 8th game, Titan coolly announced, "Bill if we can win three in a row once, we can do it again." And win they did, running 'Mr Spin' ragged on the baseline and pounding 'Tutor' at the net. Mr Spin gallantly finished the set after straining his groin in game 11 as things began to slip away from the upset minded duo. TT/EBL came away with a well earned (7-5) victory. Due to Mr Spin's injury Titan paired with Tutor for set 2 against the more skilled and mobile team of EBL/Mr Spin. TT/Tutor played admirably but could not match their adversaries overall fire power and superior shot selection, dropping the set (2-6) to conclude the season. As the boys shook hands at net for the final time this season, Titan commented, "Well I guess I answered the question both ways today. In the first set, "My game rose to the occasion, just as Our Lord did this Ascension Thursday; in the second set it was "Stinko de Mayo!" To wit Tutor put it in proper perspective, "Titan, such a complicated religion, such a sick sense of humor. Get help before September."
