Setting the Record Straight

Today TennisTitan returned to the indoor battle ground with notably different results. Titan paired with Gene 'King' Slattery for two sets of scintillating tennis against 'Big Al' Diodati and Bill 'Energizer Bunny Legs' Tully. Unlike Wednesday's double defeat your erstwhile 'blogging bullshitter' grabbed the brass ring in this afternoon's contest at the Yonkers Tennis Center. The 'King and I' was not only a Broadway smash hit 50 years ago but was an exercise in doubles domination (6-3, 6-2)  this rainy afternoon. As always Titan flourishes when cast in the role of support player. 'My liege' dominated on his serve and was extremely effective coming to the net in both these hotly contested sets. TT very ably complemented 'King's aggressive style with precision returns of serves and timely volleying at net in both winning efforts. The 'nettlesome nitwit' impressively assisted 'EBL' to a near third set win (5-2 partial) when 'Big Al' teamed with the 'King.' At photo time 'EBL' opined, "Titan, I thought for sure the reason I lost the first two sets had to be due to the play of the 'King' with little regard to your contribution. But after our strong showing together against the 'King' and 'Big Al' I may have to reconsider. 'Big Al' quipped "next week will tell the story for sure, but like always the 'medacious motor mouth' will be a 'lying lout' in today's 'bloviating blog.'
