Bentleague
IV first match in the books and there were some surprises...
Straight
from A tale of two cities - it was the best of times for some and the worst of
times for others. Two best teams on paper come out shaky and prognosis
for a title is not good if they do not rebound soon.
Cuban
Missile Crisis takes three third set tie breakers to show experience and moxy
do pay off.
Super
Ray looks super in strong single match showing against Kobrock. Witnessed
a lot of good points in this one but Ray had all the answers on this heated
September evening. at least no rackets were thrown but the battle
of top spins and slice back hands went to the steadier one in the end.
Undefeated
Jeff Softhands Thompson pairs with the latin assassin and takes down the Flying
Burritto Captain and Nice Guy Gordo proving once again that nice guys do finish
last. Just like Mush in the Bronx Tale...cries of “we can’t win” we’re
heard when Burrito’s posted their line up. O’fer since 2016 has the
Chairmen threatening a mid season cut just like last weeks Cleveland kicker.
Don’t worry Gordo...if Cleveland can get a W in the NFL you can get a W
in BIV. that is...if they ever put u back in the line up.
El
Cubano carries the steady elder statesmen Kingsdorf to victory on clay vs. the
chairmen and new comer Butcher. Third set nail biter ends unceremoniously
after a couple of double faults in third set TB. Rude welcome for the 5
inch inseam wearing Beau Chen transplant.
Burritos
able to capture one as Big John Allen justifies 1st. round selection pairing
with the new mouth of the south former captain of HHH. Jim Cornett has
nothing on Brad after a few Beers but props to a good hard fought win.
Rumor has it that Councilman Keller not happy with his protégés work
ethic on the tennis court since the “new girl” came into the picture.
Hopefully the “new Girl” can help Blake with his toss before the
Councilman’s head explodes.
final
result CMC 3, Flying Burritos 1.
In
the night cap it got ugly...
If
you thought the Cannoli’s were hated last year...wait till you play the Mother
Tucker’s! Mitch “pink koozy” Tucker comes out with guns loaded and brands
competitors that lose. Could the pip squeak squirrel lawyer be behind
this classless but ingenious act? Looks like a common thread to last
years hated champions.
Early
Analysis says that either Tucker is a genius or Donald is a wuss after throwing
poor Todd the wet sprocket to the wolves in his single pairing against the Ego
Fair. Betting line says that both may be true. Valiant effort
acknowledged from the Todd but the Ego gets stoked again with straight set
victory.
Feature
match has a 1 and a 3 for MT’ers vs. a 2 and a 3 for the Double Shots.
Singles Dodging Donald pairs with “all he does is Win” Regouffre and wins
anti-climatic third set tie breaker. Perry “Peacock” Gaffney proves
excellent addition to B IV masses but falls with Charlie Jacobs in an early B
IV classic. Crowd was into it as chairs were pulled to center court in critical
third setter to welcome strutting Perry to the league. Ronny looking like
a cross between adam west and Willie Nelson provides calming influence to
Dodging Donald and all his extra voices.
Line
three featured Young B Harvey and the pip squeak Lawyer vs. Captain America and
the former Captain of String Music. The captain has to admit...very
humbling defeat at the hands of the squirrel and the younger Harvey. Dont
judge the book by the cover with this guy Captains. although he walks
like his dad and appears to creek like the tin man this youngster covers the
net and volleys almost as good as john allen. the squirrel was steady and
that combination spelled doom for the free birds. rock and roll express
better rebound or captain american will need another outfit.
Line
4 pitted the Double shot Captain and Cannon Cayman vs. don’t call me
curious George and come back Shane. The match ups worked out for the
motherfucking tucker’s and the battle of the forehands went to the young
squire. chalk a second victory up for two thirds of the geritol three.
hopefully
no
issues with scoring with this crew but final as recorded was 4 and 4 for the
ambidextrous veteran and the jovial youngster.
two
teams at 3 and 1, two teams at 1 and 3.
a
lot of tennis left but inauspicious start for some making pre season
predictions vulnerable. time to step it up!
Great
start and great attendance. Congrats to all the winners. anyone
else notice that Doug wore his tennis clothes and shoes to throw off the
opposition. MTers gamesmanship on the rise. rest of you captains
better bring it.
