Clark & addison EpisodE Xi - “whitEfish bay CatCh“

A REUNION OF 20 SOMETHING CUB FANS ON THE CORNER OF CLARK AND ADDISON IN CHICAGO - IN A SMALL BAR NAMED WEAGHMAN’S PARK. THE CUBS ORIGINALLY PLAYED AT WEAGHMAN PARK IN CHICAGO BEFORE TRANSFERRING TO CUBS PARK IN 1919 - WHICH BECAME WRIGLEY FIELD IN 1926. NIGHTLY IN DEPTH DISCUSSIONS OF CUBS AND CHICAGO OCCUR AT WEAGHMAN’S PARK. WEAGHMAN’S PARK ONLY SERVES FOOD AND DRINK ORIGINATING FROM ABOVE THE WISCONSIN BORDER . . . SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD WRIGLEY FIELD BAR CALLED WEAGMAN’S PARK WITH ONLY WISCONSIN BEER AND SHEBOYGAN BRATS - A 20 SOMETHING HANGOUT. FOLLOW THE HISTORY OF THE CUBS, BEARS AND BULLS AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF JOSH, ELLIOT, SAM, KERI, MELANIE AND FRIENDS . . .

JOSHHEY WILL - I BET WE ARE ACTUALLY GONNA DO IT THIS YEAR - BEST RECORD IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

WILLI AM ALSO FEELING IT BIG TIME. WE CAN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG - VERY LITTLE.

JOSHAND MOSTLY WITH A BUNCH OF GUYS WHO REALLY AREN’T SUPER STARS - JUST VERY GOOD PLAYERS WHO JUST KEEP WINNING.

WILLAND WIN WE MUST DO - BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO PLAYOFF TIME WE CANNOT FREEZE AGAIN LIKE WE DID AGAINST THE PADRES.

JOSHWE NEED TO DEVELOP AN ATTITUDE THAT WE ARE NEVER OUT OF A GAME UNTIL THE VERY LAST OUT. AND WITH THAT ATTITUDE WE CAN ACTUALLY WIN THE PENNANT AND SERIES. IT WILL BREAK THE 100 YEAR JINX SET UPON THE CUBS. LOOK WHAT WE DID TO COLORADO AND THEY WERE IN THE SERIES LAST YEAR.

WILLI THINK THE WHOLE CITY IS FEELING IT. EVEN THE GUYS THAT HANG AT THE SMART BAR AFTER THE GAME ARE FEELING IT. THAT PLACE IS CRAMMED - HECK IT RIVALS BERNIES.

JOSHI’M GLAD WE’RE NOT IN THAT RACKET - OH IT’S GOOD TO DO BUSINESS AND ALL - BUT TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE HYPE AND GLAMOUR AROUND HERE. WELL WE’RE JUST STICKING TO OUR BORDER THEME - HAVING WISCONSIN BEER AND ZUERCHER CHEESE.

3

WILLI THINK THAT IS SMART - THAT IS NOT A PUN ON THE SMART BAR - IN FACT KERI THINKS MOST OF THE GROUP AT THE SMART BAR THINKS THEY ARE SMART -BUT THEY ARE IN FACT NOT AS SMART AS THEY THINK THEY ARE. SOME GUYS THINK IT IS COOL TO TAKE A BALL GAME DATE TO THE SMART BAR.

JOSHHECK IN FACT AFTER A RECENT NIGHT GAME I SAW A LIMO DRIVE UP AND PICK UP A FOUR SOME - TWO COUPLES FROM THE LEFT FIELD AREA ON WAVELAND TOOK THAT LIMO TO TUSCANY ON CLARK.

KERII HEARD THAT - THAT IS WHAT A REAL MAN IS SUPPOSED TO DO WHO HAS THE DOUGH ﾐ RIGHT ?

WILLNO WAY KERI - IT’S BARELY A HALF BLOCK TO WALK - WILL THAT CRIPPLE THEM TO WALK A FEW FEET INSTEAD OF PAYING HUNDREDS TO A LIMO DRIVER TO GO TO TUSCANY’S ON CLARK ?

KERISOMETIMES YOU ONLY HAVE ONE SHOT AT A GAL AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT.

JOSHI CAN JUST IMAGINE THAT LIMO DRIVING UP TO WEAGHMAN’S PARK AND THOSE FOLKS GETTING OUT AND ORDERING A ZUERCHER’S BRICK SANDWICH.

WILLTHEY REALLY SHOULD WALK, NOT WASTE THE GAS, AND SEND THE LIMO MONEY TO NORTHERN.

KERII TEND TO AGREE - BUT IT WOULD BE FUN TO BE ACTUALLY TREATED LIKE CINDERELLA OCCASIONALLY.

JOSHYOU MEAN YOU ARE NOT BEING TREATED LIKE A QUEEN NOW - I’VE NEVER SEEN YOU SO HAPPY KERI - I MEAN YOU’RE DATING SAM - THE HOT SHOT ANESTHESIOLOGY RESIDENT - SUPERSTAR QUARTERBACK - YOU DON’T NEED A LIMO !

KERIYOU’RE EXACTLY CORRECT - I HAVE A POOR RESIDENT PHYSICIAN WHO IS A NICE CUTE GUY WHO I’VE BEEN TOLD NOT TO MARRY BECAUSE THE DIVORCE RATE DURING TRAINING IS LIKE 75%.

4

WILLTHOSE ARE GOOD ODDS KERI. THEN YOU SUE HIM FOR HIS POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS AND YOU’RE GOLDEN - YOU PROBABLY CAN TAKE A LIMO TO THE SMART BAR FROM RIGHT FIELD ON SHEFFIELD.

KERIYOU GUYS ARE SICK - ALL OF YOU. SAM AND I ARE DOING GREAT - NOW THAT MELANIE IS OUT OF THE PICTURE.

WILLI HEARD SHE TRIED TO CHUM IN ON SAM AT THE AWARD NIGHT FOR GRADUATING RESIDENTS.

KERITRUST ME - I CAN HANDLE MELANIE - A REAL GOOD STARE GETS HER OUT OF THE BUILDING AND KEEPS HER AWAY FROM SAM FOR WEEKS.

WILLBESIDES SHE IS INTERESTED IN JOSH NOW ANYWAY.

JOSHHANG ON WILL - WE JUST WENT TO A GAME TOGETHER AS FRIENDS - NOTHING MORE..........

WILLBUT THEN YOU WENT TO BERNIE’S AFTER THE GAME.

KERISOUNDS SERIOUS JOSH - ABOUT TIME - HECK YOU’RE THE GOOD CATCH OUT OF THIS 20- SOMETHING CROWD.

WILLI KEEP TELLING HIM THAT - BUT HE JUST SAYS GO CUBS OR CUBS WIN OR HEY HEY !!

JOSHI TOTALLY HAVE THE REST OF MY LIFE TO DO ALL THE ADULT THINGS. I’M PERFECTLY HAPPY WORKING AT WEAGHMAN’S PARK, WATCHING MR. W. COME IN EVERY SO OFTEN, AND LISTENING TO THESE BORDER FOLKS TALK ABOUT THE DELLS INCESSANTLY. IN FACT I WAS INVITED TO THIS PARTY AT LAKE DELTON NEXT TO THE DELLS THIS COMING WEEK.

KERIWELL - ARE YOU GOING ?

WILLWAS SHE CUTE ?

JOSHYES SHE WAS CUTE - AND THIS WAS HER PARENT’S SECOND HOUSE OR MANSION ! SHE’S FROM WHITEFISH BAY NORTH OF MILWAUKEE.

5

KERIWERE HER PARENTS ATTENDING ALSO ?

JOSHI REALLY DON’T KNOW - IT’S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL.

WILLSHE IN FACT FROM WHAT I HEARD IS JUST A JUNIOR AT RIPON.

KERIWHERE THE HECK IS RIPON ?

JOSHOH - IT’S IN THE MIDDLE OF WISCONSIN - UP THERE SOMEWHERE.

KERIWELL I NEED MORE INFORMATION JOSH - THIS SOUNDS GOOD AND I’D STAY AWAY FROM MELANIE - SHE IS A TRUE PARASITE - LIKE A MALARIA BUG - ONCE SHE’S IN YOU - SHE’LL NEVER LEAVE.

JOSHCHILL OUT KERI - I CAN MAKE DECISIONS ON MY OWN OCCASIONALLY - I HAVE MY MOM AND MY DAD AND MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ALL HELPING TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR ME - OH WHAT FUN !

KERINO ONE CAN HANDLE YOU WITH THIS MBA/LAW DEGREE AND WORKING AT WEAGHMAN’S PARK SELLING LEINIES AND ZUERCHER CHEESE SANDWICHES.

WILLYOU FORGOT JOSH MAKES A MEAN SHEBOYGAN BRAT ALSO.

KERIWELL - YOU NEED TO START RAMPING JOSH - I MEAN YOU’RE IN LOW GEAR, HAVING FUN, LIVING OFF THE CUBS, AND........

JOSHLIKE A SKI BUM - I’M A BASEBALL BUM - A TRUE BLEACHER BUM - I COULD SIT OUT THERE ALL DAY AND NIGHT AND BE PERFECTLY CONTENT - ANYONE WHO DOESN’T UNDERSTAND AND ENJOY MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL DOESN’T UNDERSTAND UNITED STATES CULTURE. THIS IS EXTREMELY HISTORICAL THIS YEAR - BOTH WILL AND I ARE REALLY FEELING IT - HEY HEY - THE CUBS WILL WIN IT ALL - YOU’LL SEE.

KERII ADMIRE YOU FOR DOING THIS WHILE YOU’RE YOUNG AND SINGLE - YOU COULDN’T PULL THIS OFF IF YOU WERE MARRIED AND HAD LITTLE KITTENS.

6

JOSHI’LL ALWAYS GO TO CUB GAMES - I KNOW THAT - THE BEARS AND BULLS - WELL WE’LL SEE.

KERIAND NEVER EVER FORGET YOUR FAMILY THOUGH.

JOSHKERI - I’M WITH MY FAMILY EVERY WEEK - I GO TO MASS ONCE A WEEK - SOMETIMES TWICE - I STILL SEND MONEY TO NORTHERN AND WILL, ME AND YOU KERI WILL BE NORTHERN’S BIGGEST FANS THIS FALL.

KERIBUT I AM NOT GOING TO THAT GAME AGAINST THE GOPHERS UP THERE THIS FALL. THAT’S TOO MUCH.

JOSHWHAT IF SAM WANTS TO GO - DON’T MENTION IT TO HIM AS HE ALREADY IS THINKING ABOUT IT - LIKE HALF OF CHICAGO. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO GET A NORTHERN TICKET THIS YEAR. THEIR RECRUITING WAS AWESOME. AND I SAY ROSARIES THAT I LEARNED FROM THE NUNS FOR THE NORTHERN FAMILIES. SO I’M NOT A BAD GUY - I KILLED MYSELF AT THE U. OF CHICAGO - NOW I WANT TO STEP BACK AND ENJOY LIFE FOR A BIT - THE HEAVY DUTY WHITE COLLAR GOLD COAST STUFF WILL COME.

WILLBUT YOU WON’T BE ANY HAPPIER -

JOSHI KNOW THAT ALSO - IT’S JUST A PASSAGE WE ALL GO THROUGH - THIS 20 SOMETHING GRAY AREA OF LEAVING THE ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT AND GOING INTO REAL LIFE - IT’S KIND OF A BUMMER.

KERII SURE HOPE SAM DOESN’T MELT DOWN AFTER HIS RESIDENCY. HECK SOMEONE CAME TO HIM THE OTHER DAY AND WANTED HIM FOR DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS.

WILLTHAT’S PRETTY COOL - ANESTHESIA IN THE SUDAN. YOU COULD TRAVEL WITH DENG OVER TO AFRICA AND SHOOT SOME HOOPS WHEN YOU WEREN’T PRACTICING ANESTHESIA.

JOSHSO WHAT DID YOU TELL SAM ABOUT THE DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS ?

KERII TOLD HIM IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT MEANT DOCTORS WITHOUT INCOME. THIS IS FOR ESTABLISHED GUYS WHO NEED A CHANGE, ARE TRYING TO RAMP DOWN AS THE AUDITOR IS CALCULATING DIVORCE

7

SETTLEMENTS, OR FOR REAL FAITH TYPE GUYS. SAM DOESN’T FIT INTO ANY OF THESE CATEGORIES. HE CANNOT EVEN AFFORD A DIET COKE - LET ALONE A ZUERCHERS OR LEINIES.

WILLWHICH REMINDS ME - JOSH THIS GUY IN THE CORNER NEEDS A BRAT AND THE LEINIE WHEAT STUFF.

KERIHECK IF YOU GO TO RIPON YOU MIGHT JUST AS WELL GO TO THE LEINENKUGEL PLANT IN CHIPPEWA FALLS WHILE YOU’RE UP THERE.

JOSHIT’S STILL QUITE A DRIVE ACCORDING TO MAPQUEST AND I WOULDN’T LOOK GOOD RUNNING OUT ON A DATE TO GO TO A BEER TOUR.

KERISO WHAT IS THIS GAL’S MAJOR ? WHAT DO HER PARENTS DO ? WHAT SOCIOECONOMIC CLASS IS SHE FROM - MUST BE DECENT IF THEY HAVE A CABIN ON LAKE DELTON NEAR THE DELLS.

JOSHTHIS ISN’T A CABIN - IT’S A PALACE - AND HER DAD IS A WORLD WIDE INVESTOR WHO FLYS EVERYWHERE - AND THEY AREN’T POOR.

KERIAND THE MAJOR ?

JOSHTHEY DON’T HAVE MAJORS IN RIPON - IT’S A LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION - EVERYONE IS..............

WILLLIKE AL GORE - LIBERALLY EDUCATED.

JOSHNO WAY - RIPON IS THE HOME OF THE MODERN ANTI-SLAVERY REPUBLICAN PARTY - WHERE WE BROKE FROM THE WHIGS AS NO ONE COULD IDENTIFY WHAT THE WHIGS STOOD FOR ANYMORE AND WE NEEDED TO TAKE AN ABOLITIONIST STAND.

WILLI BET THOSE WHO HANG AT THE SMART BAR DON’T KNOW THIS STUFF.

KERIWELL THEY ARE SO POLLUTED DURING BASEBALL SEASON THEY WOULDN’T EVEN KNOW IF THEY KNEW THIS STUFF OR NOT.

WILLAND RIPON IS JUST A BREEDING GROUND FOR WEALTH ACCUMULATION.

8

JOSHRELAX - MOST PEOPLE GOING TO THIS COLLEGE NEED AID.

WILLYOU MEAN LIMO MONEY OR REAL MONEY TO PAY FOR BOOKS ?

JOSHYOU ARE ALL TOO MUCH - IT IS JUST A CUTE DARK HAIRED GAL FROM ABOVE THE BORDER WHO WAS HERE WITH SOME FRIENDS AT A CUBS GAME - AND THEY WENT INTO BRAT WITHDRAWAL.

KERISO THESE RIPON PEOPLE ARE ALL GOING TO BE AT THE CABIN - OR SHOULD I SAY PALACE - DOES THIS MEAN SAM AND I ARE INVITED ALSO - HE HAS THE WEEKEND OFF - BUT NO MONEY.

WILLI’LL TAKE SAM - WE WON’T SPY - I PROMISE - MAYBE I COULD EVEN GET A DATE WHILE I’M THERE.

KERIAND WAIT UNTIL MELANIE FINDS OUT ! TWO RECENT DUMPS.

JOSHTHIS ISN’T A DUMP OF MELANIE - I ONLY TOOK HER TO A GAME AND BERNIES 1 TIME - WE’RE NOT GOING STEADY, ENGAGED, OR ANYTHING - JUST FRIENDS.

KERIKEEP IT THAT WAY - TRUST ME. I HEARD SHE TRIED TO LURE YOU TO THE NORTHERN - GOPHER GAME AND YOU REFUSED -

JOSHTHAT IS THE EXACT SAME WEEKEND WITH THE MILWAUKEE SERIES. I SAID I’D GO TO SOME HOME GAMES WITH HER.

KERIWELL YOU’RE SMART IN NOT GOING AS SHE WOULD JUST TRAP YOU IN THE TWIN CITIES - HECK YOU MAY NEVER GET BACK. ONCE SHE HAS CONTROL JOSH SHE’LL DEMAND YOU GROW UP, RAMP IMMEDIATELY, AND FORGET THE CUBS.

JOSHHERE YOU GO AGAIN KERI - CHILL !!

KERIWELL MAYBE I’M OVER REACTING A BIT - WE ALL ARE !

WILLHEY HEY - HERE COMES ELLIOTT - I BET HE HAS TRIED OUT FOR ANOTHER DOWNTOWN PLAY ?

9

ELLIOTNO - WILL I HAVE NOT AND MAY NEVER AGAIN. IT’S TOO POLITICAL.

JOSHSO YOU’RE JUST ENJOYING YOUR JUNIOR HIGH BAND.

ELLIOTWE’VE IN FACT WON MORE AWARDS INCLUDING BEST YOUNG BAND IN CHICAGO PER THE SUN TIMES.

WILLWHOA - GREAT JOB ELLIOTT. YOU DON’T NEED DOWNTOWN CHICAGO THEATER.

KERIBUT IT IS WHAT ELLIOTT WANTS TO DO.

ELLIOTI’M REALLY ENJOYING THE CUBS THIS YEAR - WHAT A BALANCED TEAM - ONE DAY IT’S DEROSA, THEN IT’S SORIANO, THEN Z, THEN THERIOT, THEN DEREK, THEN THE BULLPEN, THEN RAMIREZ - IT GOES ON AND ON.

JOSHDON’T FORGET FUKIDOME, REED JOHNSON, LOU, OUR CATCHER - THERE ARE MANY PIECES TO THE CUBS.

KERIAND DON’T FORGET THE FANS - THEY WOO THEM TO VICTORY - WE ARE DAMN LOUD THIS YEAR. WE’RE HITTING EVERYTHING.

JOSHI CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE POST SEASON - HOPEFULLY WE’LL HAVE SOME DAY PLAYOFF GAMES THIS YEAR.

KERITICKETS WILL BE SKY HIGH - BUT IT WILL BE WELL WORTH IT.

WILLAND MR. W NEVER QUITS COMING - HE SEEMS A LITTLE EXCITED - WE HAVE TO TALK TO HIM.

JOSHNO WAY WILL - ONCE HE SENSES THIS. HE’S OUT OF HERE - I’M CONVINCED HE IS PHIL WRIGLEY’S GHOST GOING BACK TO THE FEDERAL LEAGUE WHEN THE WHALES PLAYED HERE.

ELLIOTOR HE COULD BE THE GUY WHO PLANTED THE IVY AT VEEK’S DIRECTION IN 1937.

10

KERIANYWAY - HE COMES HERE - AND THAT IS IN ITSELF VERY COOL.

WILLAND NOT TO THE SMART BAR.

KERIDON’T GET ME GOING ON THE SMART BAR - THAT PLACE THINKS AND EVERYONE WHO HANGS THERE THINK THEY ARE SO COOL. NO VARIATION - ALL 20 SOMETHINGS NEEDING A DATE, CUFFED BLUE JEANS, GUYS WITH EAR RINGS, OBAMA STICKERS, THE WORKS - IT MAKES YOU PUKE JUST THINKING OF THEM.

JOSHBUT HEY - THEIR BUSINESS IS GREAT - I WOULDN’T KNOCK THEIR BUSINESS MODEL - PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE SMART BY GOING INTO THE SMART BAR. IT IS JUST THAT GESTALT.

ELLIOTCOME ON JOSH - THAT IS WOEFULLY RIDICULOUS. THEY DON’T REALLY THINK THAT.

WILLYES THEY DO - THAT SIGN MAKES AN IMPRESSION AND THEY THINK THEY ARE SMART AND COOL AND THEIR KIND WILL HANG THERE.

KERISO WEAGHMAN’S GETS NOTHING BUT BLUBBERY GUYS AND GALS ABOVE THE BORDER - EXCEPTING JOSH’S GIRLFRIEND FROM RIPON ?

WILLPRETTY MUCH - I MEAN YOU DON’T GO TO WEAGHMAN’S IF YOU WANT TO GET AHEAD SOCIALLY IN WIRGLEYVILLE - YOU JUST DON’T PERIOD.

ELLIOTBUT MR. W COMES IN HERE - AND HE MAY SET THE BAR FOR EVERYONE IN THIS TOWN.

WILLTHE BAR IS SET ON I - 94 DURING CONSTRUCTION - HOW SLOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY GO WITHOUT GOING BACKWARDS. THAT IS THE NEW BAR. I HEARD SOMEONE DIDN’T GET TO WRIGLEY UNTIL THE 5TH INNING THE OTHER NIGHT.

KERIALL I KNOW IS THAT YOUR OWNER MAY NEED TO GET A BETTER CLIENTELE JOSH.

JOSHI CAN’T SAY ENOUGH - THIS BUSINESS MODEL WORKS - OUR BUSINESS IS GROWING DAILY. WE HAVE PLENTY OF CUSTOMERS. THE CUBS ARE DOING WELL - I’VE SEEN PEOPLE HERE FROM 500 MILES AROUND

11

WHO WANT TO SEE THEM PLAY. THIS IS THE ELEMENT - WE ARE AT THE CENTER OF BASEBALL AND CHICAGO HISTORY. I’M FEELING IT BIG TIME.

KERIYOU CAN SAY THAT - BUT LOOK AT LOU’S COMMENTS IN THE TRIBUNE - HE SAYS NOT TO GET TOO EXCITED.

ELLIOTWE HAVE TO BE EXCITED - I MEAN LOOK AT OUR RELIEVERS RECENTLY INCLUDING WUERTZ, COTTS, AND HOWRY - IN ADDITION TO WOOD. THEY HAVE BEEN SPECTACULAR.

WILLAND OUR STARTERS LIKE DEMPSTER, Z, LILLY, MARQUIS, AND GALLAGHER. NOW THIS MAY CHANGE PERIODICALLY - BUT ALL THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN SPECTACULAR COMPARED TO LAST SEASON.

JOSHSO GOOD THAT WE HAVE A TEAM ERA OF 3.5 - AND Z IS 2 AND A THIRD.

KERILOOK AT THE ALL STAR TEAM WITH MANY CUBS MOST LIKELY ON THE TEAM. SOTO AS A ROOKIE AND FUKUDOME LEAD THE BALLOTS - SORIANO WILL BE AN ALL STAR OUTFIELDER.

WILLAND ALL OUR PLAYERS WILL GET INCREASINGLY MORE VOTES BY ALL FANS DUE TO OUR BEST RECORD IN EITHER LEAGUE.

ELLIOTEVEN CEDENO AS A UTILITY GUY IN THE INFIELD AT MULTIPLE POSITIONS WILL HELP IMMENSELY. BUT HECK DEROSA, THERIOT, RAMIREZ, DEREK - THEY ARE ALL GETTING BIG TIME ALL STAR VOTES.

JOSHIT WILL ONLY TAKE CONTINUING WINNING TO GET US TO THE PROMISED LAND OF 100 YEARS OF FUTILITY. HECK ALL OF BASEBALL IS TALKING LIKE WE ARE A LOCK FOR THE SERIES.

KERIBUT REMEMBER WHAT LOU SAID - IT IS VERY EARLY AND WE CAN DO MUCH BETTER IN BUNTING, FIELDING, AND HIT AND RUN.

JOSHYOU ALSO KNOW ALL THE HYPE FROM LAST YEAR - WELL WE WON THE CENTRAL AFTER THE BREWERS COLLAPSED - THEY HAD 8 GAMES ON US IN MID AUGUST AND TOTALLY COLLAPSED.

ELLIOTBUT THIS YEAR IS CLEARLY DIFFERENT. LOOK AT GUYS LIKE REED JOHNSON - NOT A GREAT AVERAGE - BUT MEANINGFUL HITS AND GREAT FIELDING WHEN CALLED UPON.

12

JOSHAND NO MORE CLUB HOUSE FIGHTS BETWEEN GUYS THAT CAN’T GET ALONG PROFESSIONALLY.

KERIYES, THE BEER WILL BE FLOWING THIS SUMMER AND FALL. THE 100 YEAR SCOURGE IS ABOUT TO END.

JOSHYES THE BEER WILL BE FLOWING - EVEN THE DIE HARD NORTH SIDERS WILL BE DRINKING LEINIES IN HERE.

ELLIOTMAYBE THE SMART BAR OWNER WILL GET SOME LEINES - BECAUSE IT IS SO ADDICTING - BEST THING I’VE EVER HAD.

KERIWE NEED TO GET RID OF THE ST. LOUIS BEER ONCE AND FOR ALL - GO TO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. WE IMPORT BEERS HERE IN CHICAGO - YOU’D THINK WE COULD MAKE ONE THAT WENT OVER VERY WELL WITH THE FANS, OWNERS, PLAYERS, AND THE ENTIRE AREA.

JOSHIF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THE STATS YOU’LL SEE OUR ENTIRE TEAM IS HITTING LIKE CRAZY ALSO. WE HAVE DEREK AND RAMIREZ CLIMBING BOTH IN AVERAGE AND SLUGGING PERCENTAGE. SORIANO IS GETTING ON BASE AFTER THE INJURIES AND DRIVING IN RUNS BIG TIME, AND OUR INFIELD IS BANGIN AWAY ALSO.

WILLLOU SAYS IT IS THE LOUDEST HE’S EVER HEARD IT AT WRIGLEY - I THINK EVERYONE IS HAVING FUN - AND MANAGEMENT IS MAKING SOME MONEY.

KERIHECK - EVEN THE DATING HAS GONE UP AT BERNIES - AND THE SMART BAR GUYS ARE THINKING THEY ARE EVEN SMARTER - THOUGH I DON’T KNOW WHY ANYONE WOULD HANG THERE. I GUESS IT’S COOL IN SOME ARENAS.

ELLIOTHEY JOSH - THIS GAL IN THE NEXT TABLE WANTS A LEINIES LIGHT - SHE SAYS SHE KNOWS YOU.

JOSHTHAT BLOND THERE THAT KEEPS STARING - NEVER SEEN HER BEFORE.

ELLIOTBUT SHE’S KINDA CUTE - MAYBE YOU SHOULD HIT ON HER JOSH.

13

KERINO WAY - YOU CANNOT GO AFTER ANOTHER GAL - YOU’VE GOT THAT RIPON GIRL NEXT WEEKEND - AND NOW THAT I’VE INSTRUCTED YOU TO GET RID OF THAT LOW LIFE PARASITE MELANIE.

JOSHHANG ON KERI - MELANIE AND I ARE JUST FRIENDS -

KERIYOU DON’T UNDERSTAND JOSH - MELANIE IS THAT PARASITIC MALARIA BUG THAT GETS INTO AND NEVER GETS OUT OF YOU - ONCE SHE HAS LOCKS INTO YOU - WELL IT’S HARD TO RELEASE. I MEAN SAM HAS JUST BARELY GOTTEN OVER HER - BUT SHE KEEPS HANGIN AROUND -

WILLLIKE AT THE GRADUATING RESIDENT’S PARTY - I HEARD UNTIL YOU GOT THERE KERI - MELANIE COULDN’T STAY AWAY FROM SAM.

JOSHKERI - YOU ARE BEING MUCH TOO HARD ON MELANIE - SHE IS A NICE GAL - PICTURE YOURSELF WITH AN AMBITION TOWARDS SOMEONE LIKE SAM.

KERIFOR GOD’S SAKE JOSH - I’M ALMOST ENGAGED TO SAM - HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE NEARLY ENGAGED AND YOUR NEAR UPCOMING SPOUSE’S BOYFRIEND CAME BACK INTO THE PICTURE.

WILLKERI - YOU JUST NEED TO CHILL. SAM HAS A GOOD HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER AND MELANIE WILL MOVE ON.

KERIWELL MAYBE I SHOULD ENCOURAGE THIS JOSH - MELANIE RELATIONSHIP - BUT OH NO - I’D SEE HER ALL THE TIME HERE AT WEAGHMAN’S PARK - AND I COULDN’T HANDLE THAT.

ELLIOTI AGREE WITH JOSH - MELANIE IS JUST MAKING ONE LAST PLAY FOR SAM AND THEN IT’S THROUGH.

KERIYOU GUYS DON’T UNDERSTAND FROM A GALS POINT OF VIEW - WE ARE SEETHING PROTOPLASMS OF JEALOUSY - ESPECIALLY WITH GUYS - WHEN YOU LOSE OUT - YOU FEEL INADEQUATE.

ELLIOTHEY JOSH - THAT GAL WITH THE LEINIES LIGHT JUST KEEPS STARING.

JOSHI REALLY DON’T KNOW THIS GAL - NOT AT ALL.

14

WILLWELL GO OVER AND AT LEAST SAY HELLO.

KERII DON’T KNOW JOSH - IT COULD BE A FATAL ATTRACTION.

JOSHDON’T EVEN MENTION THAT MOVIE - MY PARENTS TOOK US TO THAT MOVIE AFTER 5 PM SATURDAY MASS ONE WEEKEND WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID - THINKING IT WAS A LOVE STORY............

KERIOH MY GOD WITH GLEN CLOSE PINNING MICHAEL DOUGLAS TO THE WALL - GO WITH ME OR DIE. THIS COULD BE ONE OF THOSE GALS JOSH - HERE GOES YOUR INCOME, REPUTATION, LIFE, AND CAREER - POOF IN AN UNKNOWN BAR RELATIONSHIP. I’D BE VERY CAREFUL.

JOSHTHANKS MOTHER KERI.

KERISTAY WITH THE GIRL FROM RIPON - THOUGH SHE’S YOUNG - SHE SOUNDS LIKE SHE HAS IT ALL TOGETHER.

JOSHI’LL FIND OUT NEXT WEEKEND BECAUSE I AM GOING NOW THAT I’VE GOT YOUR APPROVAL AND HIGH RECOMMENDATION - EVEN THOUGH YOU’VE NEVER MET THIS GAL.

KERII FLAT OUT JUST KNOW JOSH.

ELLIOTIS SAM COMING OVER TO WEAGHMAN’S PARK TONIGHT KERI ?

KERIHE’S TRYING - HE DOESN’T ANSWER HIS CELL - WHICH MEANS HE IS IN THE OR WITH SOMETHING SERIOUS.

WILLIT’S ALWAYS SERIOUS IF IT’S IN THE OR.

KERIYOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN - A MAJOR SURGERY LIKE A TRAUMA, TRANSPLANT, BRAIN. MAJOR CARDIAC - SAM IS IN HIS ELEMENT WHEN HE IS ON THOSE BIG CASES - IT’S LIKE HE’S THROWING BOMBS AGAIN TO WILL.

WILLTHE BEST HIGH SCHOOL QUARTERBACK EVER IN ILLINOIS - SHOULD HAVE STARTED FOR THE BEARS - INSTEAD OF THE TAXI SQUAD LIKE THEY HAD ME ON.

15

KERIYOU KNOW SAM - HE’S SO IDEALISTIC, YOUNG, DAUNTING, AND NOW THAT DOCTOR WITHOUT BORDERS KEEPS COMING UP TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

ELLIOTYOU MEAN THE DOCTORS WITHOUT INCOME.

KERII TELL HIM - HOW WILL YOU EVER PAY YOUR LOANS BACK - YOU CAN GO OVER THERE WHEN YOUR PRACTICE IS ESTABLISHED, KIDS GROWN, BUCKS IN THE BANK. HE JUST DOESN’T LISTEN - IT’S AS IF HE’S IS HYPNOTIZED BY THESE PROPHETS WHO ARE VERY MISSIONARY - THINKING THEY ARE MARQUETTE AND JOLIET OR SOMETHING.

JOSHI WOULDN’T CRUSH HIS DREAMS THOUGH - HE’S ONLY YOUNG ONCE WITH ALL THIS ENERGY. I WOULD LET HIM GO - IT’S WHAT HE WANTS TO DO - IF YOU TWO WERE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER - IT WILL HAPPEN - IF NOT THEN YOU’LL ALL BE BETTER OFF FOR IT.

ELLIOTWELL THIS IS GETTING SO HEAVY AND THEY NEED 3 ZUERCHER BABY SWISS SANDWICHES IN THE BACK WITH REGULAR LEINENKUGELS.

JOSHCOMING RIGHT UP. THESE GUYS ARE REPEAT CUSTOMERS ALSO.

ELLIOTAND THERE GOES THE STARING BLOND - IT’S AS IF YOU STOOD HER UP JOSH - SHE’S ACTING MAD.

KERIJUST LIKE GLEN CLOSE. EXACTLY.

JOSHI DIDN’T DO ANYTHING.

WILLYOU DIDN’T INTRODUCE YOURSELF. SHE EXPECTS THAT.

JOSHCOME ON - THERE ARE ALL TYPES OF GALS IN HERE AND THEY ARE HERE HAVING FUN - THAT’S ALL. NOTHING MORE. I’VE NEVER SEEN THAT BLOND ANYWHERE.

ELLIOTAND NOW LOOK - SHE IS STARING AT YOU FROM THE DOOR. YOU HAVE HAD QUITE AN EFFECT ON HER JOSH.

JOSHWELL I’LL JUST GO SAY HI TO HER.

16

KERINO WAY - SHE’LL INVITE YOU TO ANOTHER LAKE UP NORTH LIKE THAT RIPON GAL FROM...........WHERE IS HER HOME ?

JOSHWHITEFISH BAY - JUST NORTH OF MILWAUKEE ON THE LAKE.

WILLNOW THEY ARE SHOWING THE REPLAY OF O’NORA - THE FIRST BASE UMP THAT TORE A MUSCLE AGAINST COLORADO AND WAS CARTED OFF AFTER HE INJURED HIMSELF MAKING A SAFE CALL ON A HALF SWING.

JOSHSEEMS PRETTY LIGHTWEIGHT.

KERISAM SAYS ALL THE GUYS AT COOK WERE LAUGHING ABOUT THIS INJURY.

WILLYES - THEY TOOK HIM TO NORTHWESTERN FOR AN MRI SCAN - SEEMS LIKE OVER KILL AND A WASTE OF TWO GRAND ON A PULLED MUSCLE.

SAMI OVERHEARD THAT - HOW IS EVERYBODY DOING ?

JOSHGREAT - SO O’NORA IS NOT A GRAND ROUNDS TYPE OF CASE ?

SAMARE YOU KIDDING. AT FIRST AS WE WERE WATCHING THE GAME BETWEEN CASES IN THE SURGEONS LOUNGE - WELL WE WONDERED HOW ON EARTH COULD THIS GUY PULL A MUSCLE ON A SIMPLE OPENING OF HIS HANDS.

WILLAND THEN THEY TRANSFERRED HIM TO NORTHWESTERN FOR AN MRI. YOU DON’T DO MRIS AT COOK ON MUSCLE STRAINS DO YOU SAM ?

SAMYES EVERYONE WAS LAUGHING ABOUT THIS AT FIRST - WASTE OF MONEY - OR HE’S JUST A COMPLAINER WITH AN EGG SHELL SKELETON AND ALL THAT - HOWEVER SOMETIMES A TUMOR OR PATHOLOGIC FRACTURE CAN OCCUR OUT OF THE MOST SIMPLE ACTS.

JOSHSO THE DOCS WANTED TO MAKE CERTAIN THEY GOT THE DIAGNOSIS CORRECT. IT’S NOT JUST ALL COVER YOUR RUMP TESTING OF PATIENTS. THERE IS SOME REAL TRUTH AND NEED BY THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY TO GET THE DIAGNOSIS CORRECT FOR GOOD PATIENT CARE. SO THAT IS WHY THE MRI. THE AMERICAN TORT SYSTEM ACTUALLY PROTECTS PATIENTS.

17

KERII GUESS THEY HAD TO FLY IN A REPLACEMENT UMP - SEEMS TO ME IN CHICAGO WITH TWO BASEBALL TEAMS HERE - WELL THEY SHOULD HAVE A REPLACEMENT UMP READY TO GO ON A MOMENTS NOTICE.

ELLIOTIT’S NOT LIKE THE LEAGUE IS STARVING. RECORD ATTENDANCE IN 2007 PER SELIG.

JOSHTHERE WILL BE MILLIONS COMING THROUGH THE GATES AT WRIGLEY - AND IF ONE CAN PROJECT - IT’S POSSIBLE WE MAY HAVE A SUBWAY SERIES WITH THE SOUTH SIDERS.

KERII’D HATE THAT - BECAUSE THE SOX ALWAYS SPOIL OUR DAY.

SAMHEY HEY - THAT GUY BACK THERE IS DRYING UP - WANTS A LEINIES TAP BEER.

JOSHCOMING RIGHT UP - BUT THIS IS HIS LAST AND I FLAT OUT TELL THE CUSTOMERS - NO DRIVING TODAY - EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO LEAVE THEIR CAR HERE OR EVEN GET IT TOWED - BETTER THAN AN ACCIDENT. TRUST ME. ILLINOIS LAW FEELS SORRY FOR NO ONE DRIVING THAT HAS ANY ALCOHOL NEAR OR IN THEM. YOU DON’T WIN. MAYBE MITIGATION - THAT’S ALL.

KERIOH MY GOSH - HERE COMES THAT MYSTERIOUS BLOND JOSH - THE ONE THAT CANNOT QUIT STARING.

SAMWOW - SHE’S CUTE !!

KERINO SHE ISN’T - WELL MAYBE A LITTLE - SHE IS A REAL LIFE GLEN CLOSE - DON’T GET NEAR HER.

WILLOK - IF JOSH CAN’T HAVE HER - CAN I HIT ON HER MOTHER KERI ?

KERINO SHE’LL KILL ALL OF US - JUST LET HER BE - GO DOWN TO BERNIE’S OR THE SMART BAR. NOT HERE.

WILLSHE REALLY DOES ACT LIKE SHE KNOWS JOSH - I BET IT WAS A FRESHMAN DATE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.

18

JOSHHONEST GANG - I DO NOT KNOW THIS GAL. IT’S NO BIG DEAL - SHE’LL JUST GO DOWN TO TUSCANY’S ON CLARK OR SOMEWHERE ELSE.

KERISHE MAY FOLLOW YOU HOME.

JOSHSO - WHAT IS SHE GONNA DO - MAYHEM !

KERII REALLY DON’T KNOW - BUT ALL I KNOW IS THAT WHEN I SEE DYSFUNCTION LIKE THIS IN MY SOCIAL WORK CLIENTS - WELL THERE IS BORDERLINE LIVING - AND SHE FITS THE DEFINITION. I KNOW.

SAMANYWAY BACK TO SPORTS - I RECEIVED A GROUP OF TICKETS TO THE NORTHERN GAME IN MINNEAPOLIS TODAY IN THE MAIL. I THOUGHT WE’D ALL GO UP TOGETHER AS A GROUP.

KERISAM - THIS ISN’T COLLEGE - YOU ARE DONE WITH FOOTBALL - NOW IT’S MEDICINE AND ANESTHESIA - REMEMBER.

SAMWHAT IS WRONG WITH A GROUP OF US 20 SOMETHINGS GOING UP TO THE CITIES TO ROOT THESE GUYS ON ? COME ON - IT WILL BE FUN.

KERIOK - DONATIONS, ROSARIES, AND MASSES - I GET ALL THAT - WE DON’T HAVE TO GO TO AWAY FOOTBALL GAMES. WE JUST DON’T.

WILLI BET MELANIE WANTS TO GO !

SAMSHE IN FACT DOES.

KERIOK - FINE SAM - TAKE HER UP TO THE CITIES FOR THE GAME - I REALLY DON’T CARE - IF YOU CANNOT GET OVER THAT PARASITE - WELL FINE - I’M OUT OF HERE.

JOSHHERE SAM - YOU NEED A LEINIES ON THE HOUSE SHE’LL SETTLE DOWN.
