"Welcome Back Titan"

This was the chant of the adoring juvenile players on the adjacent courts that greeted your 'bloated behemoth' as he walked on to the YTC indoor courts for the first time in over two months. Then TT came out of his daze and realized that it was the dour Max 'Tutor' Tuchman and the tonsorially challenged Roy 'Mr Spin' Marzullo who were saying "why'dja come back Titan." Nonetheless, your 'bombastic blowhard' put his mark on today's efforts. TT joined with Bill 'Energizer Bunny Legs' Tully in turning back 'Tutor'/'Mr Spin' at 2 and 1 in just over 50 minutes of action. Titan had pace on his returns and plenty of pop on his serve to make his folly floater effective today. But it wasn't long before reality set in again. TT/'Tutor' gave it a go against the omnipresent 'EBL' and the bedraggled Mr Spin. It wasn't pretty as Mr Dour and Mr Power were bagled (0-6) and then some (0-3) before the clock mercifully ran out. As the boys met at net, 'Mr Spin' opined, "Titan, you'll win a game against us, the day after I get my next haircut." 'EBL' chipped in "Just think Titan, had I not arrived 5 minutes late this afternoon, you would have had a double-bagel - and saved on dinner." "Oy veh" exclaimed Max, "who can smile for pictures now."
