We'll Never know if...

Your Titan joined Tony 'No Baloney' Guido, Yossi 'Israeli Time' Newman and Hanibal 'the Caballero' for some fun tennis this morning. In the initial set TT paired with 'Israeli Time' against 'NB'/'Caballero.' Much to Titan's surprise this set was quite competitive (3-6) as 'Israeli Time' played significantly above his usual ability. It was TT whose level was inadequate to offset the consistent play on 'NB' and the big serves and groundies offered by 'Caballero.' The more equitable pairing occured in set two when 'Caballero' joined Titan in a slug fest that resulted in another (3-6) loss. 'No Baloney' was deft with his drop volleys and 'Israeli Time' maintained a high level of performance in both the fore and back courts. Titan could not find the rhythm on his 'pop' serve, nor play strong 'placement tennis' to offset 'NB's superior all-court game and the overachieving Yossi. The third set (4-2 partial) still hung in the balance with TT serving at 15-love when play was called. 'No Baloney' offered small consolation when at net he queried the 'bloated behemoth', "Titan, you gained some weight while in Florida? You were damn heavy to carry this morning!"
