Side Effects of Prozac

TennisTitan made his final appearance at Kinsley park this morning prior to his upcoming two week stint on the Florida Tour. It was most appropriate that today's two setter was played in the same sultry conditions he anticipates contending with in August. Titan and 'Big Al' Diodati did battle in the first set against George 'Chemist' Hauss and Chris 'Prozac Kid' Tyrone. 'Big Al' had warned TT that 'PK's game had improved in recent months and that he was likely to play well against the 'bloated behemoth,' returning most balls hit his way regardless of pace.' What Al did not report was that the Prozac had firmly taken control of the 'Kid's vision and you can not expect to get accurate calls on line shots. The Kid makes his 'out' call as he takes his swing. And so it was this morning. All that hard work for naught. 'Big Al'/TT succumbed to 'Chemist/'PK' (5-7) having valiantly fought back from a 1-3 deficit to level the match at five. A few blown calls, and several missed opportunities at net and suddenly your Titan's string of 9/9 holds of service this week was history. Gulp! Titan doubled faulted on his 4th attempt to stave off set point. With 'Big Al's departure for set two the pairings were shuffled. 'Chemist' joined Titan and the duo provided a thorough thrashing of 'Prozac Kid' and the fleet footed Clarence 'Gazelle' McArtzo (6-0). As the exhausted foursome replenished their fluids courtside, the former British subject McArtzo remarked to the "boisterous blowhard,' "Titan, this ain't criquet! In Jamaica, when someone serves his guest a bagel, it's proper to provide tea, not water!"
