Some Pain, But So Much Gain

Your Titan was still waiting for the 1000mg of Aleve to kick in last night to ease his pains from Wednesday's play when the phone rang. TT's fingers were cramping on the keyboard writing his damn blog but it had no effect on his mouth. It was 'Rockin' Rick' Ricci looking to put a game together for Thursday morning at Edgement H.S. Does a whore ever say "no"? Titan's cryptic response, "What time Rockin'? So here I am again waiting for the Aleve to kick in after four more wonderful sets played in an idylic setting under ideal conditions. TT/'Rockin' Rick took on Tony 'No Baloney' Guido and Ed 'Triple L' Gor in the first two sets. This is usually the best pairing among this foursome because 'NB' has the best skill-set to compensate for 'LLL's game. Not today Charley! Titan/'RRR" won both sets comfortably (6-2,6-2). 'RRR' has a good short game and is a strong retriever. Titan brought his 'A' game. TT was effective with a good mix of serves, both with 'pop' and placement confounding 'Triple L' and limiting 'NB's superior net play with an assortment of lobs that kept him on the defensive. In set 3 No Baloney and TennisTitan defeated 'RRR'/'LLL" (6-3). Not to be outdone, Tennistitan managed to win three games also (3-6) when the 'bloated behemoth paired with Triple L in the finale. TennisTitan is praying for rain tonight but is also considering leaving his phone off the hook!
