Deep Doo Doo

"I know I am trouble" was TennisTitan's first thought when he hung up the phone this morning after agreeing to an afternoon match with Mark 'Mighty Mite' Morales, another hitting partner of 'Rolling Stone.' Mark had informed TT that he'd "be over at 3:30 P.M. AFTER he had a massage to loosen up his leg muscles." "This bad-boy is serious" opined TT to himself. It's bad enough, so thought Titan, that Mark is not even half my age but 'RS's assessment was "Titan get a good night's sleep, bring your skates, not your social security card, and be ready for some heavy pace." Your Titan was dominated from the first toss. 'MM' toyed with TennisTitan once he realized that your humble protagonist had no chance with his return game. 'MM' is much too quick for TT's patty-cake game to be successful. The Mighty Mite's heavy serve is ably complimented with a top spin second serve that TT's racquet could never adequately control. TennisTitan was not in either set dropping them at 2 and 1. TT avoided the dreaded late afternoon bagel with a late 'hold' to salvage a morsel of dignity. 'MM,' ever gracious in victory, wants back on Titan's dance card. As he exited the complex to retrieve his girlfriend who was being released from a local hospital, thereby foregoing an opportunity to pitch that shutout in set 3 'MM' shouted, "Titan, another performance like that and we'll have to rename your "Texas 'Kick Ass' Tour" to what it'll soon become: ...Ass-Kicked..." Or maybe I'll take you to the hospital for ego surgery!
