03/13/07. Terrific Tuesday VRB Games. Lorntson Place, Moore
Lake LTF. 1900-2200. Big JW found or rather, he
built a Randomizer and gave Doc MM a run for his money. Doc MM won the first
game decisively 15-7. However, JW had his Randomizer humming in the second
winning 15-6 to the delight of the VRB fans!! But in the tiebreaker, Doc MM’s
donut scientists threw a monkey wrench into the Randomizer disrupting its
intricate machineries and Doc MM ran JW around with missile passes to win 15-8.
Doc MM had an easy first game with Big Dan Lefty. Doc MM
ripped missile passes and drives to win 15-4, helped out with Big DL’s several
front court pokes skips. However, Doc MM was up in the second 12-10 and was
unable to pull it out and Big DL mounted an effective getting and rekilling
offensive blitzkrieg to win 15-12!
The guests of honor watching from the front VIP section were
an old man named Dave and his daughter Mina. Doc MM showed Mina how to hit a
forehand stroke earlier when JW played a barn burner with Big DL, Big DL won
15-11. JW definitely had his chances.
In the breaker, Big DL got off to a
tremendous start and was up 10-5! This is a traditional tournament tiebreaker up
to 11, don’t have to win by 2. It looked downright morbid for Doc MM. However,
Doc MM dug down and started to play the kind of consistent high percentage
racquetball that has made him GT King for a long time. Doc MM lobs deep and
launched deep missile rockets to tie it up at 10-10! At 10-10, Doc MM had a
chance to finish the game and the night off on a valor note, but Big DL
displayed several acts of amazing incredible gets, one of them involved Big DL
hitting behind him and getting the ball to the front court! Doc MM crushed it
less than 3 inches and Big DL came running up and rekilled it! Big DL played
hard and squeezed out an 11-10 tiebreaker to reclaim the GT by one point!! The
VRB fans and JW gave both players a standing ovation for a minute.
Sidenote: No Tim Righty because he’s
watching a Timberwolves game tonight. No Uma because he’s still out. Fireball
Mark’s been out for awhile because the pundits said, "He’s busy at home eating
all the donuts he racked up from last month." No Justin because the man runs too
much and needs to rest his knees. No Vallana L and her crew for the past few
weeks? I think they may have moved to St. Louis Park, since she’s the head RB
pro there now.
