No PiZAZZ today!

TennisTitan joined four of the regulars for a Saturday morning round robbin of doubles today that produced little of the spectacular play he craves when on the Kinsley Courts. Indeed, five (5) rather lopsided sets were completed in two and one-half hours that mirrored each other in outcome regardless of the partnering. In his first two matches Titan paired with 'Not Espn'; a (2-6) loss to 'Chemist'/'Koide Kid,' and a (6-1) victory over 'Chemist/'Happy Jack.' TT/'HJ' were then drubbed by 'Not Espn'/'Chemist' (1-6) and Titan ended his day with TT/'Chemist' defeating 'Not Espn'/'HJ' (6-2). 'Happy Jack' would seem to have been the common denominator in all outcomes, yet the slender "Marlboro Man" look-a-like was quick to remind the Titan as the gang of five left the field of play, "Titan, don't forget to include the first set played this morning, the one you missed so you wouldn't have to sweep the puddles from the court, the one in which me (sic)'HJ'/'Not Espn' put a hurting on 'Chemist'/'Koide Kid'(6-2). Titan sheepishly replied, "HJ,' you had more combos today than a Chinese restaurant." Jack retorted, "That's the problem TT, my combos usually are rye and ginger, gin and tonic, or a shot and beer chaser!"
