King James?

"Frankie, you were Plan B! screamed the TennisTitan at his doubles partner this date." The boys were frustrated by the results of their epic two setter against Bill 'Energizer Bunny Legs' Tully and Max 'Tutor' Tuchman in the 3 hour match held at Schultze park in Yonkers. "It's a freaking nightmare" anguished the 'pot bellied bumbler' to the 'coddling counselor.' Again, I was up 'big,' this time 5-1 in games, and still came up 'little' (5-7, 4-6). 'Tutor' chortled that's an improvement you 'whining woosey,' last week you and Gimpy Knees blew a 5-0 lead, and then were rolled easily in the second set. Today, you had 'fight' right to the last ball." "But Max, 'Slats' executed his part of the game plan very well; he didn't often lapse into singles play against EBL, ala Joe Cruz. "So Titan, then it was your fault?" inquired the Tullyville Trolley." "Hey, wise-acre, it's my blog. This is an 'N' 'M' 'F' situation for sure." Frank 'Slats' Slattery seeing the quizzical look on the 'Tutor's face jumped in. "Max, that's Titan shorthand for 'Never My Fault.' "And it wasn't, Cheich. I played above my ability level again, just like last week. My serve had pop and placement; I lasered Max at net, worked the alley effectively, and even made some decent volleys at net" responded the 'garrulous gargantuan.' Tully added "then next week, you'll have a Plan C? Perhaps a 'King' of Kinsley? Gene Slattery??." "Hell , no," retorted the 'raucous raconteur,' "I'm going to a LeBron-athon tonight." "If 'King James' is a Knick, he's Plan C - 'c' as in cash. Otherwise, Frankie will be Plan B1. "Be Fit" in this heat!"
