No Substitute for the Truth

"Titan, I hope you didn't pay first class - your game surely didn't match that cost - maybe economy, as in your movement toward the ball" so commented Bill 'Energizer Bunny Legs' to the 'bullshitting bloviator' upon completion of today's play at the Yonkers Tennis Center. TT was delighted to be back on the court for the first time in three weeks when invited to substitute for Roy 'Mr Spin' Marzullo late last night. At court side the 'bombastic bloviator' whined that he shouldn't have to pay to play because he flew home early from Florida to help the group out. TennisTitan was exposed as a prevaricator almost as easily as opponents uncover weaknesses in his game. In set 1 Titan paired with fellow substitute John "I.R.A." Meehan in a (4-6) loss to 'EBL' and Jim Addiss 'Abada.' The tandem of 'EBL'/'Abada' had their hands full unexpectedly as Meehan made mayhem late in the set with fine all court play to make this set highly competitive and entertaining. Set 2 saw a reshuffling of the teams without any diminishment in quality of play or competitiveness. TT/'EBL' were attempting to serve it out at (5-4 partial) when time expired. As TT was explaining the blog to 'I Run for Anything' at picture time, Meehan opined, "Titan, you should fly stand-by." EBL quipped, "Don't remind me, playing with Titan, one needs double air miles to justify the expenditure of energy." 'Abada' expounded, "We can't trust TT's line calls because we caught him in a lie, but at least Titan always seems to know the score!"
