My Royal Flush

"Well, Titan, have I made my point" beamed Gene 'King' Slattery as he turned to the 'bloated blowhard' at the conclusion of play at the Yonkers Tennis Center. "Gene-O, you not only made your point, but you most assuredly made my day" guffawed the 'pandering pedantic' as he turned to a 'stunned stallion' and a 'down trodden trolley.' Yes, it was come uppence day for the 'Italian Stallion' and the 'Tullyville Trolley who were alternately broken and derailed this afternoon in two sets (6-1, 6-4) against the TennisTitan and the man he calls 'My Liege.' The 'blogging bullshitter' seldom has the opportunity to pair with a player his better against 'Big Al' Diodati and Bill 'Energizer Bunny Legs' Tully. The 'King' and TT came out smoking hot in the first set, losing but a handful of points on their own services and dominating most points on their return games. The second set was much more of a dog fight. 'EBL' raised his level to the King's and Titan's fell to the Stallion's. At 3-3 the horse was broken. The 'cantankerous crank' consolidated the break, for 5-3. 'EBL' staved off the inevitable, forcing the 'King' to assert his dominion on his serve in the tenth and decisive game. As the group met at net TennisTitan observed, "The King and I were delivering Aces and service winners all afternoon." Tullyville Trolley remarked, "you guys Jacked me around the court like never before." 'Big Al' observed, 'fatuous fathead,' even the African Queen playing in my stead could not have helped 'EBL' to victory today." 'King' quipped, "Yul (Brenner) have to give Titan a Ten for his effort on the court. As the group of junior players filed onto the court as TT snapped his photos, the tennis pro said with a Straight face to his 10 year old charges, "Kids, these Jokers were Wild during their 90 minutes, now let's get serious with our drills."
