Breakfast Anyone?

TennisTitan joined the early morning group (7:30 a.m.) at the YTC this date at the invitation of Joe 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz. The Titan and "GK' had an unexpected breakfast bagel (0-6) served up by the tandem of Tom 'Mick' Ahern and Tony 'No Baloney" Guido in short order. 'GK' could never get his game untracked as he continued to employ only his power game and hit long shot after shot. TT did not have any answers either to the all court dominance of 'No Baloney' and the consistent support offered by the 'Mick.' These elder court statesmen cruised to another comfortable (3-6) victory un the second set that led to a shuffling of the pairings. The final set paired TT with 'No Baloney against 'Mick'/'GK' and ended on serve at (4-4) and featured many of the most competitive points of the match. Joe Cruz opined as Titan dressed after the match, "Tommy, I promised YOU a good game today; I didn't say that I'd play a good game." To wit TT retorted, "Joe, you also promised me breakfast too, but you didn't say that you'd provide a bagel either!"
