A Religious Experience

"Titan, it's clear from your running commentary you weren't a 4.0 in college either. No reason to expect anything different on the tennis courts." That was the stinging rebuke given at net by "Slow Eddie, 'Don't call me CHARITY Ed again Lubejko' as he exited BCK in a huff. It seems TT was nettled by the big guy's inability to put away a volley at any meaningful time in this morning's play against Gary 'I HOPE I hit it' and FAITH, the second of Slow Eddie's friends that were imported to get TennisTitan a doubles game down at Pine Island. Titan opened this morning's match with Faith, 'Babushka Lady,' and these two pummeled the two men from Wisconsin into quick submission (6-1). 'BL's serve was consistently deep in the box with pace and her two handed cross court back hand was a beauty. Faith, a true 4.0 player, also brought a well rounded game that included fine net play to compliment her back court coverage. Titan had pop on his serve, placement on his deep returns and dominated the men's field. The 'boisterous behmoth' offered up 7 aces in the four sets played and played Faith to a standstill on most of the points authored between these two. But when Titan paired with 'HOPE I hit it' Gary (3-6) or CHARITY Ed (3-6, 3-6) FAITH was too savy or too strong against the Badger Men. As the three men gathered their belongings with Faith having already exited BCK Gary opined "I HOPE I don't meet her on the golf course tomorrow." To wit 'Slow Eddie' quipped "CHARITY demands I say something nice about TennisTitan, I just can't think of anything rightnow."
