Joba Time Revisited

"Titan, in baseball they would call this a 'blown save." So commented Bill 'Electro Lux' Ching upon completion of his two sets as TennisTitan' doubles partner at Kinsley this date. TT/'Electro Lux' came out very strong in the opener, routing John the 'Neck' Manzi and 'Lil Papi' (6-0) in under 30 minutes. TT had it all working the entire afternoon. Lobbing the lines effectively and hitting flat down the middle the 'boisterous blowhard' complimented 'Electro Lux' fine work at net in the first set and one-half. Down 1-3 in the second set the 'immobile minotaur' led the charge to level the second set at five. Inexplicably the Ching volley suffered a complete meltdown in the eleventh and twelfth games. SuperBillie Boy Ching dumped his returns into the net at crunch time leading to a disappointing (5-7) loss. As the foursome met at net, 'Neck' Manzi remarked, 'Lil Papi' played like Big Papi in that second set. An unhappy SuperBillie Boy retorted, "John, you hit more balls off the frame for winners than Manny Ramirez has dreadlocks." TennisTitan chirped "Electro Lux, you sound like a Yankee fan. Was it flying bugs that caused you to choke at the net?"
