The Squeaking Wheel

Your Titan returned to the early hours wars (7:30 - 9:00) at the Yonkers Tennis Center this morning joining Ed 'Lean, Lanky, Lefty' Gordon, 'Rockin' Rick Ricci and Tony 'No Baloney' Guido in three plus sets of tennis. "LLL" was rotated through the group and presented each of his partners with their own personal ''L." TennisTitan/'LLL' dropped the first set (3-6). Little did TT realize that by capturing three games after being down love-5 that that would be the highlight of the morning. Titan paired with 'RRR' in set two and cruised to a (6-1) victory over 'No Baloney' and the Lean, Lanky Lefty. The tandem of 'RRR'/'LLL' were served their morning bagel (6-0) by 'NB'/TT in the final set played to completion. Your Titan was scrambling to spoil a bagel in the making in the time-curtailed 4th set (0-4) when he reunited with 'LLL.' As the exhausted foursome left the court Ed opined, "Guys, I guess I am a little rusty, not having played in 9 weeks." No Baloney chortled, "What do you mean a little?" 'RRR' chirped, "Rusty? -don't you mean corroded?" TT crowed, "I'll bring the WD-40 next time, who gives a crap we all had fun!"
