Over Eating/ Under Hitting

"So Titan, are you sure you said you are a widower," opined Tony "No Baloney" Guido as he limped off the court having strained his hamstring in a valiant but unsuccessful attempt to prolong the second set at the YTC this morning. The duo of TT/'No Baloney' had just dropped the second set (6-8) to Joe 'Gimpy Knees" Cruz and 'Rockin' Rick' Ricci. 'Gimpy Knees'/'Rockin' Rick' had earlier pasted (2-6) the 'boisterous blowhard' and the usually adept-at-net Guido in set one. 'No Baloney' was in no mood for TT's bombast. "Why do you say that, Tony?" Tennistitan meekly asked his partner. Titan had gotten but 29% of his first serves in and mishit a half dozen or more easy backhands due to poor foot work that enabled 'GK/'RR' to win games in a come-from-behind fashion. 'No Baloney's' volleys at net were neither crisp or precise. A formula for defeat for sure. "Because Titan, I could sue you for non-support off your performance this morning. I wanted to know if you'd been through it before." "Tony. I am suffering from the disease I got Sunday night... "TMTBT".... too many trips to the buffet table... I went to King China and got my money's worth!"
