T-rick or Treat

"Titan, I was the treat you were expecting earlier today." These were the calming words offered by Rich 'Cola' Condon after he helped salvage TT's day at the Amackassin Club this afternoon. Titan had benefited from the fine net play offered by RC 'Cola' in their (6-2) victory over Frank 'Slats' Slattery and 'Rockin' T-rick' Ricci. This was in marked contrast to the first two sets in which TT paired with 'RRR' that resulted in disappointing losses to the Amackassin boys (6-8, 3-6). Titan had pop on his serve and played inspired tennis in erasing 0-3 and 1-4 deficits to be in position to take the first set in regulation time. Uncharacteristically, 'RRR' followed his chronic shanking of net volleys throughout this day with two consecutive double faults on his service to give 'Slats'/'RC Cola' the opening they needed. Set 2 was more of the same from an increasingly ineffective 'RRR' and a despirited 'bombastic blowhard.' Titan heard the catcalls of "where is your partner?" and "put that in the blog" from the pussy-whipped opponent on the other side of the net as TT's game neared 'RRR's level late in set two. As the foursome met at net in the twilight 'RRR' opined, "Titan, I feel as if I prostituted myself playing with you today. You should have to pay anyone who has to listen to that incessant bullshit of yours. I guess that makes me your trick, huh?"
