"Oh, My Aching Back"

"Titan, my back hurts today, it's all up to you, I gotta go." The words uttered by Walt 'Show Me' Klein as he departed Blue Crab Key passing the yoke of carrying Grant 'Packer Backer' Craig on to the shoulders of the 'Bloated Behemoth.' TT and four players played some uninteresting round robbin abbreviated sets to keep 'Packer Backer' happy before getting down to the nitty-gritty. TT knows that the best competitive match generated among this group would not have included 'PB' who brings the least to the table. Set one saw TennisTitan pair with 'Slow Eddie' Lubejko and defeat the tandem of 'Packer Backer' and Darryl 'Wolverine' Tison (6-2). 'Wolverine' employs a speed game and is an excellent defender. 'PB' summoned Titan to his side for what turned out to be the final set with, "Titan I better play with you now before you get too tired." The rag tag team was down love-4 before making a match of it (3-6). Titan queried 'Slow Eddie' as the foursome met at net, "Eddie, how do you always manage to avoid teaming with Packer Backer"? The retort was another Lubejko ace. "Titan, didn't you call me the Polish Prince today? So treat me like royalty - no heavy lifting!"
