Wah Wah it's almost 12:30

Today we took 4 of 5 from a team that was above us. It put us in a playoff spot. Set us up for a great chance for the post season, and maybe even home field advantage for the first round. That's reason to be Happy right? It should be. But I'm still Thinking about how piss poor I played this morning. Considering the way it turned out, I should be even more Mad... I know, don't dwell on Matches, but this one really irks me..

Ok, to go outta turn I'll describe our only loss of the day. Todd and Dave gave up a 4-3 lead in the first to lose it 7-5 and then proceeded to pack it in. Once down 5-2 and 15-40 in the 2nd set, We decided to actually win a few games. Actually won the Second set in a tie break, fought off 6+ match points... And then at 12:27 (Although the clock at the Club we pay like $1000 a year to, is showing the wrong time...By like 93+ minutes, Wtf I'm not a Math prodigy.) after the tie break, our opponents decided to sit around and discuss how much time they have to waste to win by ONE FREAKING GAME because they are to afraid to get their asses to the other side of the court and receive serve. (7-5,6-7) What the hell was this, a Womens Match? The worst thing of the match was that We could play that bad and still be in it at the buzzer... Wait there is no Freaking buzzer.. Like they can't buy a stupid $100 clock that goes BZZZZZZZZZ every half hour and actually shows you the right time... Ok Rant over..

Now onto the Good stuff..

Andy and Arnie Won a tough match in 1st. Winning the first set in a tie break and then getting a break in the second to Take it 7-6,6-4. WooHoo..

Ok What the heck was up with our position 2 team this week? I heard that they were walking around barefoot before the match. Is this some sort of new age winning philosophy that I don't know about. Seriously I need to know about anything that will make time go slower or help me win. Anyways, Mike and Chad Won in straights to start this years streak at 2 games. Can they beat last years record of 4?? Last year it ended when they were put in 1st. Are they up to 1st for next week???? Can they get the streak to 3????

Now over on 4 Tony and Don regained their winning Form to add another win to their impressive resume. Winning in straights they continue to be almost a sure bet each and every week. NO MORE UNAPPROVED VACATIONS!!! At least till we are assured a playoff birth.

In 5th this week. Frank and Mickey continue to make me look stupid for almost Benching them a couple of weeks ago. They pulled out the Hammer and Crushed their opposition. Only giving up a total of 3 games, They get the Kick Ass Award this week.

Now onto the Future.. Next Week we are Playing Another top 2 team. We are at Winchester, and if we can beat them we will go 3-1 against the top 4 teams of the 1st half. Which will almost guarantee us a playoff berth.




Todd = This week.

Galactica and Playoffs

I just watched The first episode of Season 4.5 of Battlestar Galactica, And all I can say is What the Frak! I won't give anything away because some of the people on our team are not up to date on the show yet, But to the Writers I say... Stop nuking our favorite characters. And the Fifth cylon?? Everyone and their brother was like That character is a Cylon, earlier on in the shows history. Yes it is the Best Show on TV. Thank you BBC for allowing a good show in the USA.

What about those Eagles huh? Sunday they take on the Cardinals for a chance to play against the crappy Steelers in the Superbowl. I see McNabb scoring like 30+ points for my playoff fantasy team. Also the mixed team has a big match on Sunday afternoon also.

Let's see what else happened this weekend.. Oh nothing.. Great.. Then we are done here.

Wait.. Wasn't there a Mens A1 match?

No..

I think there was..

You're mistaken..

No I think you lost..

I think you should shut up..

In fact I think that Todd and Dave lost a close one in first. Todd blew an easy 30-30 volley down 4-5 in the third set to help set up the loss. Then I heard that Chad and Mike just cruised in a straight set Win in two. Over on Three That Tan vacation guy Don with his partner Tony lost by one game when they ran out of time early in the third set. And if I'm correct Mickey and Frank lost in straights in fourth. Oh yeah... no one else wanted to play and you Defaulted 5th position.

I hate you..

I am you..

I need therapy..

lie down right over here..

Thanks. This is comfy. When I was 18 I knew I wanted to be a Tennis Player..

WHOA

Wow, I'm speechless... I have writers block... I'm in shock...

What a great Team Win we had today. Taking on this years #1 team and last years runner-ups, We brought It. If it wasn't for an injury, we might have gotten the Team Bagel.

Newburyport was expecting a tough match and brought almost all their guns.

Luckily for us we disarmed em?
They forgot their ammo?
They didn't shoot straight?
We Matrixed em?
This ain't the Old West?

What the Hell am I saying?

I'm saying that this is the only team we have lost to the last 3 times we have played them. All 3-2 losses with swing matches that have gone to the 3rd set. But not this Time!

This week our only loss came on court 1 where Bob Btn. and Adam had a close first set losing it by one break, They then had to retire when Adam suffered an injury in the second set and was unable to continue.

From court 2 on we didn't lose.

On court 2 Andy and Todd regained thier usta form and took out a couple of 4.5+'s in straights for the Win. Court 3 Saw Dave and Bob Bnt split the first two streaky sets and then just play tough solid tennis to take the 3rd 6-4.

Court 4 Had Tony and Chad (filling in for an un-aproved vacation) Win in two dramaless sets. I couldn't see that far down the court but I heard it. It was uneventful. Now onto what was almost the biggest coaching error of the week. Court 5 saw Mickey and Frank, who were almost benched this week for no real reason, Come thru big time and solidified the 5 point Victory this week.

Now we can't just end the season now... Next week we play at our favorite spot THE WILLOWS. Against a Team that beat us 4-1 in week number 2. Let's get some Revenge. Anyone know if the Woodies are in the states?

Oh Yeah This is a totally good week... Battlestar Galactica starts its final season Friday night. I know the curfew rule, I promise no drinking and lights out right when it's over. Who's the final Cylon? It better not be the old man or the Ship!
