"You're all wet!' retorted the TennisTitan to Rob 'Jersey Bomber' Briscoe who had travelled in from Monmouth County NJ this morning to join Titan's fair (correction, - rainy) weather friends on the Kinsley courts. That's right it started to pour at game time and only a handful of hackers were there. After the departure of 'Big Al' Diodati, Sab 'Koide Kid' and Rich 'Prezidente' Prezioso dripping wet from their aborted set, there remained only 'Dave the Rave' and Lou 'Pistol' Gerencser to provide doubles action against the Briscoes. Four sets were played in a steady rain that affected the quality of play but not the fun engendered. 'Jersey Bomber' took the measure of 'Uncle Tom' (3-6) by sweeping the final three games of their singles set. Titan then first paired with 'Dave the Rave' and was bageled (o-6) by the tandem of 'Pistol'/'JB'. Matters (and the conditions) only worsened for the 'bombastic blowhard' in his next set as he suffered a second helping (0-6) of bagel when he paired with the 'Pistol.' "Nobody beats the Titan 16 games in a row" bellowed the 'boorish beast' as he broke the schneid in the first game of the final set. Indeed, the 'naughty nephew' completed his four set sweep in Yonkers leading the 'loathesome loud-mouth' to his only victory (8-6) of the day. At picture time the rain had stopped and the sun promised a brighter day prompting 'JB' to opine, "Titan, do we really know 'nobody beats Titan 16 games in a row' - we'll have to find out on your next trip to NJ, won't we?" 'Dave the Rave' said, "And Titan, don't you be callin' me an 'Uncle Tom' either 'cause I like to play tennis."
