Around 4 PM today Paul asked me how many courts I expected for Monday Night Team Tennis. Thinking that it is the 4th of July week, and that many people go away, I said my guess is 5 to 6 courts. 40 players showed up and we had 10 courts of tennis! Curt, Vicki, Walter, Pam, David, and Carol played in their first MNTT. Welcome!
I was wondering whether Larry would call in from South Dartmouth to check on his team. He and Linda are on a well deserved family reunion break. There were no calls. Hmmm.... he must be communicating with his team somehow. Maybe he just sent some possitive vibes from the So. Dartmouth beaches.
The first round was tight. Larry's team won 33 games vs. Magnus/ 24 games. Going in to Round 2 I said to myself: "I need to stir things up here". So I put the Taffs together, and they got the job done. However, Round 2 ended up in Larry's favor despite the Taffs. For the 3rd round I got desperate, so I had to play my best card: McNay/ Rappaport. They already played together in Round 1, but in this situation I couldn't take any chances. My coaching paid off and McNay/Rappaport won their match, Larry's team however again showed who was the stronger team tonight, and ended up winning also the 3rd round. There must have been some hidden coaching going on after all. I will find out!
Final score: Larry 131 Magnus 101

I saw Larry in a disguise - he looked just like Andy Griffith in a Sheriff's uniform as he drove around Dunster Road and tried to get people to pay cash for parking tickets. He was not with Mike in So. Dartmouth but was up here sending private messages to the team via his courier Barney Fife (P.Noonan).
ReplyDeleteSome people will do anything to get a win.
Sigh.
He's back and I discovered that he has his players secretly wired so that he can send them coaching signals during the matches.
ReplyDeleteI think that next Monday a TSA team should be on premise to perform full body scans prior to the match.
What do you think?
