Psychotropical Saturday

Your TennisTitan managed three sets of doubles on this beautiful late summer day in anticipation of watching Super Saturday at the U.S. Open in front of the boob tube. Titan teamed with 'Big Al' Dio Dati in the first two sets. TT/'Big Al' defeated 'Chemist'/'Happy Jack' (6-3) in the opener before dropping their second set to 'Slats'/Chris 'Prosac Kid' by the same score (3-6). Titan played poorly throughout the entire morning. Neither his level of play or his motor mouth quips could save his sorry-ass performance. He was unable to hold serve or rally effectively with pace to his opponents backhand. Indeed, Titan's level of play dropped even further in set three when TT/'Chemist' could not put away 'Slats'/'Prosac Kid after having enjoyed a 4-2 advantage. That lead was built against 'Slats' when 'Kraut' was his partner for the first 6 games. ('Der Kluger' strained his back while serving to Titan.) The third set was truncated to ten games (5-5) with 'Slats'/'Prosac Kid' capturing the tie breaker 7-5. A jubilant Frank Slattery was heard to comment to the 'Prosac Kid' as the winning duo left the court, "Kid, Titan gives me my therapy on Saturday morning, but I must say, YOU had the RIGHT MEDICINE for him." TT thinks psychotropics must be like steroids, "Kid, you played out of your mind today! You gave me a double dose of defeat!"
