Scattershots...

Gypsies/Shwings results are interesting. I was surprised to see Rothe/Hall and Kim/Kim taken to the woodshed like that...

Where was Callaway???

The Hurricane 4.0 team is overrated. If Soda Heng doesn't cramp up, we might be talking about a huge "upset" last night...

I am curious to see just HOW MUCH tanking goes on in the remainder of the 5.0 season with nothing on the line. Will there be roster additions simply for tanking purposes???

Looks like Copperfield 4.5 swept out and took the division crown. Not surprising...

What IS surprising is that nobody told Shaan Patel about "score managing". Two double bagels? Yikes...

Lakeside 4.0 may find the playoffs just a BIT tougher than regular season matches in their easy division. Good job pulling out a win last night...

Minh Hoang was in the singles lineup last night. Glad his knee has healed. His presence in singles makes a huge difference for them...

Kevin Lotz played singles for Unicorns last night, shoring up what looked to be a weakness. Unicorns have emerged as the favorites to win their pool...

Anyone have any news on Clambakes-Big Bangers? I haven't done the math...are the Bangers still in the hunt???

Black Sheep won about 64 pct. of games last night. Will that sew up a spot???

  1. We knew playoffs would be toughter, but didn't know Sienna would be that tough. Whoever keeps writing "Sienne suck" (sic) has got it way wrong. They have some great talent that I expect to see on some college teams soon.

  2. Off topic, I suppose, but I was a bit of an asshole last night. Our match was tied at two and the opposing player was on the ground cramping, being tended to by his captain and players. I walked out there and tried to hurry them along, as I thought they were taking too long.

    The opposing captain commented "Come on, he's dying out there!", to which I responded "He should retire, then."

    Anyway, it makes me wonder what the proper protocol is in such a situation. Obviously I am (sometimes overly?) competitive, but to be honest I don't really know the rules/protocol in such a situation and would love to hear peoples' thoughts/opinions.

    BTW, the cramper (Soda Heng) recovered and despite being in discomfort showed great heart/guts and nearly pulled out his match.

  3. I believe the applicable rule can be found in Friend at Court, article 29c. Once medical treatment has arrived and the condition been diagnosed, he has three minutes to be treated and then has to continue or retire. Also see section III.E. and the FAQs within, and the big table at the end of the section. You were probably correct. Whether you were "nice" to do that and whether being "nice" is expected behavior in the playoffs, I'll leave to others to comment on.

  4. Yeah HTown, you were an ass!!! You might compliment your opponent now, but your character showed.

  5. Greg - you always throw your team under the bus.

    We were tied 2-2 last night with one singles line still going against the BigBangers.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Greg is known for giving his team no credit. Rather than support his team he says they are " overrated" and that the Unicorns are the favorite. Maybe he should carry their cooler of beer and be their cheerleader too. It's okay though, as much as an asshole as he was last night I hope that if and when he steps on the court he can come to realization that he's just not that good himself.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I came to that conclusion years ago.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Greg is also very positive.

  9. Anyone done the math on the 4.5 wildcards?

  10. Give the guy a break. It's his job as head blogger/mediator to be objective and if he were to pump up his team everyone would ride his ass for that too.

  11. I gave up a long long long long long time ago signing my posts. This blog is one of the most heartless ruthless blogs I've ever seen. I've looked at the Austin and Dallas blogs and they dont put up with the personal attacks that we see on this one. We're just a bunch of red neck asshole hypocrites is what we are.

  12. Seinna sucks, they wont win line agianst chancellors.

  13. The Bangers won 3-2 last night. And for you to walk out there on the other side of the court while he's down is bush league.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Appreciate the opinions...no hard feelings here. Maybe it WAS bush league...???

    I was with a team in 1999 (I think?) that made it to the 4.5 Sectional finals. Kevin Lemke started cramping in a match against our player and he was overly tended to by his captain and teammates and our captain did nothing about it. The Austin team got an edge as a result, and ended up beating us to go to Nationals. That has always stuck with me.

    I care (too much) about what people think of me sometimes, but despite that, I would probably be a bush league asshole if I were in that situation again, despite people seeing my "true colors".

    Somewhat in my defense, the opposing team had a player show up more than 15 minutes late last night. We allowed him to play (and they won their line). Obviously it's a different situation...

    ReplyDelete
  15. The Medical time out should not be taken for cramps. They left Baghdatis out there to cramp, They can leave the Soda pop out there to fizzle out.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Greg, don't sweat it. We are all bushes but hate to admit it and it's much easier to poke holes and attack those then to admit that we ourselves can bush with the best of them.

    ReplyDelete
  17. when will the 4.5 playoffs be?

    ReplyDelete
  18. haterz gonna hate.

  19. Are all of the scores posted? Do we know what the seeds will be for the 4.5 playoffs?

  20. You did right Greg...You have to protect and take care of your team...not the opponent's. Forget these bush league anonymous commenters.

  21. I think your cramping situation comes down to: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

    If you were cramping up how would you want to be treated? You guys preach about having Houston putting the best team forward, well winning because you hurry along someone with cramps isn't going to help put the best team forward. Help the other guy up, get him some fluids and play your best. Then let the chips fall where they will.

    ReplyDelete
  22. that all sounds ideal 10:25, but that open up to false cramping and fake injuries to ice someone. No special treatment and keep it consistent.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I don't know about Htown but my feeling is that if you cramp you didn't train hard enough. It is no add and third set tie breaker! Being in shape is part of the game. There is a three minute rule for a reason.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Really? Playoff time and we're spending the day discussing Greg's manners???

    ReplyDelete
  25. 10:31 not to mention it was at NIGHT. What are you going to do during the day, 2 matches. If you can make it at night you have no business playing in Dallas in August anyways.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Are you serious? Cfield won 4 1st sets and lost all 4 in a 3rd set TB. Ouch

    ReplyDelete
  27. Anyone else scared of the Good Guys and Unicorns after last night? The 2nd place teams in each of their division looked pretty strong against division winners last night.

    There's a long way to go, but they may be emerging as the teams to beat!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Perhaps Copperfield got cramps

    ReplyDelete
  29. By my math (very unofficial - Diana's is the only math that counts), 4.5 shapes up this way. Best 2nd-place team Deucebags with 65.1% games won, next is Black Sheep with 58.3%, third best Titans with 58.1%. Katy Coaches at 56.4% and Big Bangers at 55.5% look to be out. Two matches are unreported, Fires vs. Jedi Knights and Ball Busters vs. Jedi Knights. Those should have no playoff implications even if one or both were turned in as team defaults (in which case all of that team's matches are null and void in that round, but still Deucebags I think would make the playoffs). We'll see if my math matches Diana's or not.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Once the wild teams are selected, then the numbers/math should be published or sent to the captains. That would help with the transparancy that we have been asking of HTA.

    ReplyDelete
  31. All I know is Renish played a great match to get the "W" for his team. He lost the first set and was down a break in the 2nd and managed to come back and win in a 3rd set TB. Kudos to him for keeping his nerves when Soda was cramping and took his injury time out. It's not easy to play under those conditions. Good Job Renish!!

  32. Did someone say bush league? How do I sign up?

    Sienna player

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hurricanes def are not overrated. they just took RPM a little too lightly and did not put out a strong lineup out.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I love bush! i wanna sign up too! cant decide between bush league or beer pong league

    ReplyDelete
  35. If you looked at the numbers going into last night, Ssswwwing was pretty much out of it before the night started. They had to win at least 4-1 just to force a second place tie and that probable wouldn't have been enough to make the playoffs. So there was not a lot of energy by some memebers of the team. Just went through the motions.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I disagree with Numbers Guy that the remaining matches are unimportant. Team defaults affect wild card eligibility from other divisions.

    According to the rule below. Any team that gives a team default has ALL of its match eliminate in round robin. If the Fires and Jedi Knights team default, all of the those big juicy wins that the Deucebags wrapped up are gone and their percentage of games won craters. BTW, this is a National rule so it cannot be waived by HTA.


    2.03L Scoring of Team Defaults. If a team defaults an entire team match for any reason during round robin play, then all matches of that team played or to be played, shall be null and void. If all teams in contention for the Championships have already played the defaulting team in good faith, the matches stand as played. The section may impose further sanctions or penalties on said team.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ok, given that the Ball Busters have already team defaulted against the Deucebags, are the Ball Busters results against Copperfield also null and void for seeding purposes? Is that match going to count for percentage of games won for Copperfield? Copperfield racked up an incredible 60-5 win against the Ball Busters in their last match. (Way to roll over, Denny.)

    ReplyDelete
  38. I want to play bush.
    Babu

    ReplyDelete
  39. The whole handling of team defaults is inconsistent. It appears that team defaults are used on Tennislink to determine if you win the division, but are not counted by HTA to determine wildcards. A little consistency would be nice.

  51. What was Unicorns score?

    ReplyDelete
  52. what makes unicorn the favorite? just wondering

    ReplyDelete
  53. Couple of reasons: Hurricanes looked vulnerable last night, while Unicorns (from what I could tell) looked strong.

    Secondly, the Unicorns and Hurricanes scrimmaged last week and frankly, the Unicorns dominated.

    Thirdly, I AM historically negative about the teams I play on.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Unicorns are favorites because they're just a likable bunch of guys (go watch a match, they'll probably offer you a beer). Hurricanes have been known to kick opponents a little when they are injured no one likes them as much. When it comes to tennis skills, well smart money's still on the Hurricanes.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hurricanes' second and third string looked vulnerable last night. So what.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Beinart is such a likable guy

    ReplyDelete
  57. People keep saying it was their second stringers but who was really missing? Rios is playing 4.5 I assume. So they can't use him anyways. What is their starting lineup?

    ReplyDelete
  58. Beinart is a dick.

  61. Any idea on when HTA will announce the 4.5 playoff schedule, or will they wait till Monday?

    ReplyDelete
  62. Let's be honest. Greg and Towles are basically the only guys to post under their names on this blog. They have the gonads to respond to sometimes nasty comments from anonymous posters.

    I've been tempted to post under my real name, but I'd rather not have the hassle of everyone taking that opportunity to bitch about me or one of my players.

    After trying to follow that lame-ass Austin tennis blog, I now really appreciate the sense of community this blog generates for Houston league tennis. So, props to you, Greg!

    ReplyDelete
  63. @Greg: There are fun matches, there is practice, and there are tournament matches (league play falls into this category, especially during the play-offs). Nobody should call you anything, when you're trying to enforce the official rules made for tennis. After a player gets injured (or cramps up) he has 3 minutes. Then he must go on or retire.

    I remember a very important match 9 years ago, when my opponent cramped up at the end of the 2nd set. I let him rest for 15 minutes, and he came back running faster than lightning. He cramped up again, but that was right after he took the 2nd and 3rd set from me. Everyone on my team said I should have called a default after 3 minutes... our team lost by one line, because I didn't say anything after 3 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I'm not 100% but cramps are not eligible for a medical time out anymore right?

    ReplyDelete
  65. medical is medical .. does it matter what type of medical condition it is?

    ReplyDelete
  66. cramping is not medical, it's conditioning.

    ReplyDelete
  67. On the pro tour you can't call a medical time out for cramping anymore. Not sure if that is the case with USTA as well. I can't find anything on it.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Why didn't Babu play last night? He would have provided the upset of Lakeside last night.

    ReplyDelete
  69. still avoiding the fact that hurricanes did not put out their best lineup, not even close

    ReplyDelete
  70. why wasn't musa salihu or danny vu playing singles last night?

    ReplyDelete
  71. year after year its the same thing... they will not reveal their top players until they truly have to... i'm sure last night did give them quite a scare. they probably did not think they would have lost one of the singles and goto a 3rd set w/renish playing... gotta give that 19 yo kid some credit for not choking under pressure even at 9-9 tie breaker.

    ReplyDelete
  72. im sure the captain knew they were going to lose singles line 2, and probably doubles line 3, ill bet you his guaranteed wins were vu/jones yamaguchi/phan and renish, while the others being a toss up, that speaks volume of how good their players actually are

    ReplyDelete
  73. didn't freeman's team get Dqed with ellingston last year? and this year he is still risking another dq?

    ReplyDelete
  74. From what I saw out there Yamaguchi and Phan were very good and we know Renish is good. If you add Rios to their lineup and Vu to singles they have some very solid lines.

    ReplyDelete
  75. This year Hurricanes team will win easy. With Danny Vu on this years team, it is clearly better than last years team and they won last year.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Anonymous you are a bushy vagina. It's the playoffs. If you don't know by know who the best players are by now you've already lost. Hurricanes play the best lineup they can every night. Third string my Fucking ass. By the way Freeman likes to lick sweaty ballsacks.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Fuck the Dallas and Austin blogs! The Houston blog has character, humor and bushy vaginas.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Renish probably gave freeman a nice scare last night, I don't think it was the best idea to put him in singles line 1 considering the condition I saw his right arm in last night. I have seen the kid play before and last night wasn't even 30% of the game he has got. But bravo for pulling out and winning the match.

    ReplyDelete
  79. The only cramps on this blog are of the PMS kind from all the bitching and moaning. I will gladly put up with my girlfriends monthly cycle to only deal with you assholes once a week. P.S. great fucking blog!

    ReplyDelete
  81. 3:18 if Canes are banking on Montes to make it to Sectionals they are in trouble!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  82. Took a look at the 5.0 schedule. Since they have 7 teams and can only play one full round robin in 10 matches, they should have treated the first four match as "preseason" and the last 6 matches as the round robin for the league championship.

    Using the first six matches to determine the champion makes the last four meaningless (and great for sandbagging).

    ReplyDelete
  83. 4.5 playoff pools up on web

    Flight #1 - Lakeside, Blast, Taylor, Deucebags
    Flight #2 - Copperfield, Hurricanes, Blacksheep, Sugarcreek

    Lakeside, Blast, Copperfield and Hurricanes get home matches on the 7th.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Greg,

    Cramps are part of the game. If you cramp you have to deal with it. If you can't you lose. Period.

    You did the right thing

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALHObkStAt0

    Horrible to watch. Wozniacki got very little attention for her cramps, even a delay of game warning.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I'm not positive but I could have sworn after that pro match when the player was in pain on the court, stretched out, and no one would help they changed it so that conditioning would be included in injury timeouts. However, just like an injury you're only allowed one time out per like injury so you're only allowed 1 timeout for cramps.

    ReplyDelete
  86. @9:08 and others confused about the injury time out. The ITF (Grand Slams & Davis Cup), ATP (men pros), and WTA (women pros) all have different rules including injury time outs. The USTA (the league that we play in) also has different rules from the above mentioned organizations. Remember the different tie break rules by each of the above. Numbers Guy cited the correct rule from the Friend at Court.

  101. didn't rios play for TSU? i dont understand how he can be a 4.0....

    ReplyDelete
  102. He's an "A" rating which technically he could be protested but he's not playing for the 4.0 team anyways. And yeah, he shouldn't have been able to even self-rate 4.5 but that's a different issue. There are always going to be snakes like Rios who lie and cheat.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Ok so I've been somewhat of a Rios supporter thinking he had a computer rating and why rag on the guy but really an "a". That means he appealed to rate below where he should be. What an F'ing loser.

    ReplyDelete
  104. its all a waste of time talking about him because has been playing 4.5 all season anyway

    ReplyDelete
  105. I look forward to a blog without Rios and Babu

  108. who is renish and what team is he on?

    ReplyDelete
  109. 11:12 - It's just means that he played in the spring 2010 4.5-5.0 singles league, a common occurrence for good 4.0 singles players.

    ReplyDelete
  110. 10:18 Did you hear about Rios and babus match, it was like Nadal and jokovic, the best of the best

    ReplyDelete
  111. @2:07: Renish Barkat Halani plays for the 4.0 Hurricanes

    @2:18: He played 5.5 doubles last year, and he played 5.5 SINGLES this year (and he won 2 matches). 5.5 - is that a "common occurrence" that you drop 1.5 ratings in 3 months??? Are you kidding me?

    ReplyDelete
  112. 6:07 - Please learn to use Tennislink and avoid embarrassing yourself more. I usually don't bother to educate fools, but I'll make an exception for you.

    Halani played in the HTA Spring 2011 4.5 doubles league. That league had 3 division: 4.5i, 4.5ii, 4.5+. HTA allowed two 5.0 players in the 4.5i and 4.5ii division. In the 4.5+ divisions, 2 5.0s and 5.5s were allowed. That is why the league has 5.5 max rating on TennisLink.

    If you'd take the time to actually look at the team Halani was on, it was composed mainly of 4.0s and 4.5s, but also include one 3.5 and 5.0. Halani was a 4.0.

    ReplyDelete

  114. 4.0 & 4.5 Playoff Predictions? Who want to start?

    ReplyDelete
  115. @6:50 You're welcome. I apologize for being an ass.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Ok. 4.5 playoffs

    Lakeside over Duecebags - 3-2 (2 singles + Connell/Wright_)
    Blast over Taylor - 3-2 (Pete T. + 2 doubles)
    Hurricanes over Sugarcreek - 4-1 (Canes sweep doubles)
    Blacksheep over Copperfield 3-2 (No Adam Kent)

    ReplyDelete
  117. I will agree with 2 of those but after being in blast's division I say they sweep gypsies 5-0. Copperfield beats blacksheep 3-2 because they will sweep singles.

    ReplyDelete
  118. i saw babu and he plays like sht. the only person that can play is rios and blaster.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Here's my shot at 4.5:
    Pool 1 - Other than the Duecebags, there's relatively no playoff experience in this division. There's 1 really good team in Lakeside with 3 decent and very capable teams behind them.

    Lakeside 3-0
    Duecebags 1-2
    JCC 1-2
    Gypsies 1-2

    Pool 2 - This division is loaded with playoff experience and 3 very even teams that will all beat each other up.

    Hurricanes 2-1
    Copperfield 2-1
    Westside 2-1
    Sugar Creek 0-3

    Both Hurricanes and Lakeside advance to sectionals, so a non-eventful final.

    Don't know 4.0 as well (but I do know some of the supposed better players on most teams) so I'll try:
    Pool 1:
    Chancellors 4-0
    Lakeside 2-2
    Good Guys 2-2
    Copperfield 1-3
    Sienna 1-3

    Pool 2:
    Hurricanes 4-0
    Horses & Ponies 2-2
    Cincho Ranch 2-2
    RPM 2-2
    GTAC 0-4

    Chancellors & Hurricanes both to sectionals, a non-eventful final.

    No there will be no practice Mr.Q, thank god.

  121. There is just no way Unicorns go 2-2, there doubles team are strong, and they have tightened up their singles selection, I am predicting a 4-1 win over canes, sweeping doubles and losing a singles line.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Who are top 4.5 singles players in playoffs

    Kudrick, Taylor, Day, Bui, Borkop, Hess?

    ReplyDelete
  123. Who were the most impressive 4.5 to 5.0 bumpups this season and who should be coming back down?

    ReplyDelete
  124. The bumped players from the Hurricanes 2009 Nationals team are coming back down to 4.5, so watch out. Next year everyone is playing for 2nd place again.

    ReplyDelete
  125. tope 4.5 singles are

    kudrick, hess, kent, bui, taylor, puma

    flight1- no one but the exception of taylor will win a singles match against lakeside.

    flight2- copperfield will need both kudrick and kent to play singles to against hurricanes. they will beat hurricanes if they do this.

  129. It will be interesting once Sectional flights come out if there will be some strategy for going as the winner or the wild card

    ReplyDelete
  130. Does anyone here think the Deucebags can beat Lakeside first round? The Deucebags have some experienced singles players on the team like Bishop, Goldberg and Schmucker so it could be an interesting singles lineup between the two teams.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Bui could lose to Schumaker if he is playing well and makes Bui hit a lot of balls. Just dont see anyone beating Hess other than potentially Taylor later on.
    Top 3 singles in order are

    1. Hess
    2. Taylor
    3.Kudrick

  137. How good is this Shaan Patel @ Copperfield? Where would he rank? There is not much record on him other than he won both his singles 6-0, 6-0.

    Is he in the same league as Kudrick, Hess and Taylor?

  138. if copperfield plays it right, they will beat canes. kudrick, kent or patel for singles. or put kent in doubles. that's three lines right there.

    no one on dbags team are in the same singles level as hess and bui. dbag's only chance is tryting to sweep doubles.

  143. Lets just get this straight, Renish Barkat Halani is TOO GOOD to be PLAYING 4.0!

  144. Renish Barkat Halani he played 18s champs, not super champs. He is an above average 4.0 nothing else. Danny Vu would beat him 6-0, 6-0, if he does not tank.
