He's like All State

"Not to worry TennisTitan, you're in good hands" was the greeting offered by Bill 'Energizer Bunny Legs' Tully as 'Big Al' Diodati and Vladimir 'Russkie' Kartsev walked to the other side of the net. Much to the surprise of TT the opening set of the first indoor session of the '13-'14 season featured the traditional foursome in an atypical alignment. "Titan, we read your blogs occasionally. We see your ass getting kicked time and time again. Even you deserve a victory' chuckled 'Big Al..' And so it was. TT/'EBL' opened with a dominant (6-0) performance. "Bill is serving underhanded because of his damaged right shoulder" remarked the 'Russian Bear' but until he has to run backwards on his heels he will still assure a victory for his partner with whomever he opposes among us." "Good observation" commented the 'bloated blowhard,' "speed kills in this sport, but man I really appreciate his deftness with his hands at net, given the play of my recent partners." "Titan, why don't you give me a 'good hand' now, interjected 'Big Al' at picture time. "Didn't I help contribute making our (3-6) loss to 'EBL'/'Russkie' in set two somewhat respectable?" "Sorry Al. You and I are brick layers at net" cackled the 'miserable misanthrope' "Only a fish should be more wary of a net than you guys" laughed 'EBL.'
