Carry On Luggage

"Jack, playing with you is like dealing with the airlines nowadays. You know...paying for your baggage!" is all TennisTitan could say after he dropped a heart breaker (6-7 [5])with 'Happy Jack' as his partner this morning at Kinsley. "Bad enough that TT could only get one set in but Jack you make your partner pay dearly when you lose your concentration on court." TT/'HJ' were up 5-3 against Frank 'Slats' Slattery and 'Rockin' Rick Ricci with Jack having an opportunity to serve it out when the 'Marlboro Man' went south - double faulting three points. Titan managed to put his crew back in front on his serve 6-5 but 'HJ' offered no help in the critical 12th game and the deciding tie breaker. As the foursome met at net 'RRR' opined, "Titan don't take it so hard. When 'HJ' was my partner in the previous set against George 'Chemist' Hauss and 'Slats' we got rolled six games to two." 'Slats' quipped, "Yeah Tommy, you actually came out ahead. We all figure you a two-time loser on most Saturdays." 'HJ" chortled, "This way the blog is shorter too. I smoke Marlboro Light for a reason."
