Titan returned to the outdoor game at Kinsley Park on this blustery Saturday wherein the rains held off to afford a fun morning of tennis. 'Slats' and Sab,aka 'The Koide Kid,' paired against TT and Joe 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz in a two set affair. 'Slats/'Koide Kid' had teamed earlier this week to give Joe a thrashing when he had partnered with 'Irish' Gallagher. Today, that duo did not share the same good fortune as Titan/GK rolled to a comfortable (6-3, 6-4) victory. Gusting, swirling winds were a major factor and played havoc with serves and lobs alike. Titan reminded Koide kid as they left the park, "Sab, being Japanese you should be used to losing a few battles by now." 'Slats' jumped to his partner's defense and retorted, "Titan, isn't that your $25,000 Toyota in the street that helped educate Sab's kids?" With a twinkle in his octagenarian eyes Sab chipped in, "Guess we won the peace." Gimpy Knees put it all in perspective with, "What kind of beer do Japanese people drink? Cervesa Saki?!"
