Am I Blue?

"Your damn right I'm blue." So said the Titan upon completion of a three-setter at a new venue in Yonkers this date. The boys of summer were bumped from Edgemont HS by the high school team and moved to the newly resurfaced (blue paint) Anne Fredolino Courts in 'Rockin' Rick Ricci neighborhoood. TennisTitan was paired with Yossi 'Israeli Time' Newman against 'RRR' and Tony 'no baloney' Guido for the first two sets. The 'bloated behemoth' played a near flawless first set (4-6) commiting but two unforced errors as volley after volley was dumped into the net or went clanging off the back fence by the Jewish landlord from White Plains. The 'bombastic blowhard's game joined Yossi's in the toilet in the second set as they never threatened the Italian stallions succembing meekly at (1-6). Seeing that the 'bloviator's' balloon had burst 'no baloney' stepped up to partner with TT in the finale. Despite a stronger than expected showing from 'RRR'/'IT' a rejuevenated Titan/Guido prevailed (7-5) in the third. As the boys met at net 'Israeli Time' commented, "Titan, are you sure you're not Jewish? I think you would be perfect at the Wailing Wall." 'RRR' said, Titan, now you'll appreciate me more when I get stuck as your partner."
