Whipping Boy: My Little Mold of Clay
The Whipping Boy project has been years in the making. When we first met, Whipping Boy was a meek man. If the ball wasn't hit within five feet of him, he was not going to get to it. Hauling ass was foreign to him.
Through intense training and the patience of a Saint, I have successfully molded my clay into a fierce fighting tennis MOFO. Last night, Whipping Boy was a hungry dog starved for a win. Whipping Boy actually bared his teeth and played his best match against me in recent memory. In fact, by the end of the night, we had each won the same number of games. ASTONISHING! Unfortunately, I won the critical games necessary to win the match. I won 1-6, 6-4, 6-3. I have that killer instinct to close out a match.
I want to applaud Whipping Boy for his finest hour though. He completely blew me out of the first set. Every single point was fiercely fought over with some amazing rallies. It was balls to the wall aggression.
Perfect timing to start ascending right before our tennis tournaments in Dallas (6 weeks away) and Houston (10 weeks away). My little mold of clay is now a mean fighting machine rising just in time for these tournaments. I pity his first round opponent who is not going to expect to face such a hungry dog in the first round. Whipping Boy is going to pull off some amazing upsets of some highly seeded players.

Winning the first set like that shows that he's got the strategy down. Now he just needs endurance training ... you know, the ability to keep it up.
It would help if he didn't eat all those toaster streudals. That would definitely diminish the "gumbo pot" belly he is carrying around. As for keeping it up, I think he needs to go See Alice. ;)
Sounds like your "WHIPPING BOY" project is coming along fine; just need to fine tune him now.
OK OK whats the deal??? Which one of you guys has stolen BrettCajun and taken over his blog?
Thanks for the kind words Tabooli I wish they were true. Need to work on the energy and stamina level. Remember just a year ago my success against you was much more regular. In fact i beat you on a regular basis. I know you blame that on injuries but I recall that it was also when you had great success in the Houston Tournament. We shall see what this years tourney holds. You will do great
Awww.... thanks Whipping Boy. I make you famous in the blogworld. You blow hot air under my dress. ;) This is the life. ;)
And technically, my WRIST was hurt last year. I was working out and playing tennis almost everyday. But my right wrist swelled up where it hurt everytime I hit the ball. That was when you had your greatest winning streak... when I was hurt.
Those times are passed. I simply don't workout much nowadays to sharpen my tennis skills.
Look forward to our tournaments together. ;)
