'Simpledon' - The Yonkers Championships

"Yes, Titan, we all came to see YOU play on this perfect Saturday for tennis in Yonkers, NY, 'tis a pity we have to hear you too" chorused ten of the 'bombastic blowhard's cronies as he entered Kinsley. TT paired with Mike 'not so' Stella in the first of the three sets he participated in. Joe 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz and Sab 'Koide Kid' proved too difficult (6-7 [3]) as Mike more than lived up to his moniker. Titan righted the ship in an entertaining set 2, when he subbed for the departing 'Koide Kid' as all players raised their games considerably. TT and 'GK' Cruz erased an early break by George 'Chemist' Hauss and Frank 'Slats' Slattery to take the set going away (6-4). With 'GK' begging off carrying the 'bloated behemoth' another set, the 'Chemist' stepped up to pair with the 'immobile minatour' and crush George 'Teacher' Febles and Mike 'not so' Stella(6-1). As the boys met at net 'Happy Jack' Carey and 'Big Al' Diodati lamented not having had the opportunity to humble 'his egoness' this date. Carl 'Spindly Legs' Gessman and 'Rockin' Rick Ricci -another successful tandem today- chimed in, "Boys, you'll have to get in line. The 'bloviator' has had too much Texas barbecue and California smoothies to cover much more than that 40 inch waistline of his. Don't let him tell you it's 38 - that's the mph on his serve"
