Italians say "Marrone." Me too, now!

TennisTitan joined five familiar mates (and one Johnny-come-lately newcomer) at Kinsley Park this morning for some fun tennis on the resurfaced courts. Your Titan paired with George 'Teacher' Febles in the second set of the day and solidly thrashed 'Rockin' Rick Ricci and Carl 'Spindly Legs' Gessman (6-1). 'RRR"/'SL' had opened the mornings activites with a comfortable (6-2) victory of their own against George 'Chemist' Hauss and Big Al' Dio Dati. Teams were reshuffled for the third and final set preventing TT from defending court 1 because of the departing 'Teacher.' Big Al'/TT struggled to level their set at 3-3 when 'Rockin' Rick also bailed, only to be replaced with the fresh legs and the lefty stylings of newcomer Jim 'Rocklander' Marrone. Your Titan proceeded to drop his service in the critical seventh game, not do enough to break 'Rocklander,' and be sued for non-support by 'Big Al' who fell meekly in the concluding game (3-6). As a chastened 'bombastic blowhard' left the court he bellowed, "I told those parkies to cut the tree limbs yesterday so that I could lob effectively. Who knew that they'd ignore me just like you all do."
