Bad Luck or was it No Luck as All

TennisTitan returned to the Kinsley battle grounds for the first time in a month this beautiful fall afternoon. The Titan paired with John the 'Neck' Manzi for a two set defeat at the hands of  Bob 'Kraut' Kluge and Vladimir 'Russkie' Kartsev (3-6, 4-6). The 'bombastic blowhard' was particularly sluggish afoot and the 'Neck' had a poor day at net leading to the unhappy outcome. That having been said 'Russkie' far exceeded his usual level of play and was highly instrumental in securing both victories. TT was ineffective during his service games and 'Neck' was caught time and again by the fortuitous mishits and lobs of the Russian immigrant. Trailing 3-4 in the second set TT/'Neck' were unable to take advantage of the departure of the 'Kraut' who had covered ground so effectively on the baseline. 'The 'Prozac Kid,' Chris Tyrone, secured the victory with some fine defense in the tenth and final game sending the 'bloated bumbler' home with two more loses and two throbbing legs. As the foursome met at net, fittingly, the Titan's camera faltered causing the 'blushing Bolshevik' to exclaim "Titan, double A batteries for your camera, but may I suggest you need a 12 volt deep cell marine battery for your legs."
