  2. So I may be a little biased, especially considering I don't know who Jacques is and I have never seen Bazan play. But I'm going to have to say Kelsey and Bazan at 6-2 6-3. I guess that we'll see later. :)
    Good luck to all of us and lets have some fun.

  3. It will come down to who cheats the most. You ain't trying if you ain't cheatin.

  4. I cant wait for the result of the match. Its the 2 4.0 guys with the biggest egos against 2 3.5 players that are at the top of their level. It should be fun for you guys. The winners can BRAG and the losers can make excuses. Good luck to both teams.

  5. I've never known any of those guys as cheaters in fact Bazan often plays "out" balls unless you consider that cheating

  6. I've played three of the four in singles, but never have seen them in doubles. The biggest challenge, is how the darkness and playing under the lights affects the other. I predict Cary and Jeromi, just because their reflexes are younger and more adaptible to playing at night.

    But, it could go the other way, because I have played singles against Jacques and Dave and they are "crafty" players and sometimes experience is better than ability.

  7. You may have very well hit the nail right on the head when you said that experience may be the deciding factor. I don't play nearly as much doubles as the other 3, so that may make things a little more interesting. I think that the wind could turn out to be a little bit more of a factor than the lights. HP is known to get very breezy and the wind usually swirls. I think that it is going to be fun and interesting.

  8. I am prediciting a score of 6-2 , 6-1 Prather and Delira. I have to go with these two individuals as I know them.

    Sorry about that Jeromi and Cary.

  9. OC BL and myself (OC Yauch) would like challenge the winners...we are available tomorrow night (Wednesday) or early Sunday afternoon if the winners are up to it.

    OC BL is not one of my normal partners...that is if it matters to anyone.

    My email is OC Yauch @ gmail.com (without any spaces).

  10. OC BL in dubs, you sure you can carry him Yauch?

    Jeromi some good thoughts but I have played in the elements of HP for a few years now shouldn't be a problem. I feel good about this matchup other than the fact I have never played with Jeromi before and he is more of a singles player. He does remind me of one of my old partners (Patrick Jacobs) who had a similar forehand which matches up well with my game so predict a big win. I do respect them enough to know we won't get the double bagel but maybe the double BREADSTICKS (6-1, 6-1)

    I am confident in my doubles play but if I played any of these guys in singles I would be lucky to get a few games.

  11. Prather,
    You may have started something with the challenges. We are already forming a line. Haha. This could help some of us younger guys who don't get to play seniors stay sharp for next season. But everyone has to remember that Jonathan and I are still looking for a match with Bazan and Joel. We have to be able to fit that into the picture somewhere.

  12. Better question is, can he carry me? OC BL and I have never played together on the same side of the court but having played against him we should be very competitive.

    I did play against Dave and his partner last weekend. On that night Dave was much better than his partner and had his partner been just a little more on or a little less off, I think the match could of easily gone the other way.

    Should he and Delire win, I'm sure he would like the rematch and should you and Jeromi win, I will look forward to playing a couple of young 4.0 guys. Need to see what I will be up against in the Spring.

    I know I'm going to have to practice and play more to be competitive at 4.0. Hope I can find the time.

  13. so are you playing a full 3rd set or a coman tiebreak for the 3rd set? That could determine the winner

    ReplyDelete
  14. any wagers being made?

    ReplyDelete
  15. guess we will have to decide, may depend on time HP can get busy and playing 3 full sets would be hard to do.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wager: I usually like to be paid in the currency of beer.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Beer is a good currency to me too. I like the idea of a full 3rd set, but since I'm playing with a bunch of old guys that may not be a possibility. HAHA Just kidding guys. I'm fine with which ever we decide to go with.

  18. 3 out of 5 sets with no Tie-Breakes

  19. Hiho Hiho. It's off to the match I go. Talk to you later.

  21. Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]discount mbt shoes[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] closer look at these special shoes.

    The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]mbt sandals[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]mbt sneakers[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]mbt shoes review[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]mbt sneakers[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]mbt walking shoes[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes sale[/URL][/B] work for some people.

    More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]MBT shoes[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]mbt shoes best prices[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]MBT[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]mbt sneakers[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] on your lower joints.


    Overall owners of the MBT shoe really like the results. [B]footwear etc[/B] It is typical that if you walk for three or four miles at a time for several times [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] per week you will experience some weight loss. Some people are using them for every day [U]MBT[/U] use and find that this helps to keep their legs toned and looking nice. These are just walking [U][B]footwear etc[/U][/B] shoes you really do not want to use them for running. It is recommended that you go to a store and try them on, as you [B]MBT[/B] want to make sure the heel is snug and fits correctly. If the shoes fit correctly they should feel snug and it should [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] feel as though you are walking on stilts when you walk in [U]MBT shoes[/U] them.

How does [B]mbt walking shoes[/B] yours rank? Some so-called fitness shoes merely look great, but don't really provide [B]mbt shoes review[/B] any actual health benefits. Other shoes actually make a [U]MBT[/U] legitimate difference. If you want footwear that truly helps, MBT shoes are the first [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] step toward a healthier you.

    What does MBT stand for? Good question. The [B]mbt sandals[/B] answer: Masai Barefoot Technology. They're designed to [B]mbt sneakers[/B] simulate walking barefoot, which helped our ancestors to walk [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] healthier than we do. Modern humans cram their feet into all kinds [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] of crazy, uncomfortable shoes, and we walk on [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] unnatural surfaces. MBT returns our feet to their natural, healthier [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] environment.

    MBT shoes actually trigger and enforce the [B]MBT[/B] tiny muscles that cause our bodies to naturally absorb [U]footwear etc[/U] shock. The patented construction of the MBT soles features a [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] unique sensor that causes a simulation of being on uneven [U]mbt sandals[/U] ground. It causes an instability that causes the body [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt discount shoes[/URL][/B] to react with slight movements to compensate for the instability. Thus, a "rolling" process [B]mbt sandals[/B] begins. This active, natural balancing act causes our bodies to automatically [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] exercise. As a result, muscles are strengthened and toned and posture is improved. Also, we experience less joint stress and back [U]mbt sneakers[/U] pain. Clearly, it's quite a workout, and the benefits are vast.


    The shoes do not resemble any [B]footwear etc[/B] other footwear on the market today. Many people are [U]mbt walking shoes[/U] surprised when they discover that these "health shoes" are actually [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] esthetically pleasing, as well. [U]MBT shoes[/U] The brand offers trendy [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] mary janes, chukka boots, trainers, clogs, sandals, oxfords, slides, fashion boots, mules and more.



    That's very good for you [B]mbt shoes review[/B] . That's what MBT shoes do.

    Now you see why keeping a natural balance is crucial toward maintaining [B]MBT[/B] a healthier you. If you're making your health a priority, then doesn't it make [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] sense to choose footwear that not only increases your fitness level, but also [B]mbt sandals[/B] supports improved overall health? Now that you understand what all the [U][B]mbt walking shoes[/U][/B] hype is about, perhaps it's time to try the MBT experience. Your body will thank [B]discount mbt shoes[/B] you.
