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 . . . JOSH HEY WILL - I BET WE ARE ACTUALLY GONNA DO IT THIS YEAR - BEST RECORD IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. WILL I AM ALSO FEELING IT BIG TIME. WE CAN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG - VERY LITTLE. JOSH AND MOSTLY WITH A BUNCH OF GUYS WHO REALLY AREN’T SUPER STARS - JUST VERY GOOD PLAYERS WHO JUST KEEP WINNING. WILL AND WIN WE MUST DO - BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO PLAYOFF TIME WE CANNOT FREEZE AGAIN LIKE WE DID AGAINST THE PADRES. JOSH WE 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. WILL I 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. JOSH I’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.

WILL I 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. JOSH HECK 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. KERI I HEARD THAT - THAT IS WHAT A REAL MAN IS SUPPOSED TO DO WHO HAS THE DOUGH ミ RIGHT ? WILL NO 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 ? KERI SOMETIMES YOU ONLY HAVE ONE SHOT AT A GAL AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT. JOSH I CAN JUST IMAGINE THAT LIMO DRIVING UP TO WEAGHMAN’S PARK AND THOSE FOLKS GETTING OUT AND ORDERING A ZUERCHER’S BRICK SANDWICH. WILL THEY REALLY SHOULD WALK, NOT WASTE THE GAS, AND SEND THE LIMO MONEY TO NORTHERN. KERI I TEND TO AGREE - BUT IT WOULD BE FUN TO BE ACTUALLY TREATED LIKE CINDERELLA OCCASIONALLY. JOSH YOU 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 ! KERI YOU’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%.

3


WILL THOSE 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. KERI YOU GUYS ARE SICK - ALL OF YOU. SAM AND I ARE DOING GREAT - NOW THAT MELANIE IS OUT OF THE PICTURE. WILL I HEARD SHE TRIED TO CHUM IN ON SAM AT THE AWARD NIGHT FOR GRADUATING RESIDENTS. KERI TRUST ME - I CAN HANDLE MELANIE - A REAL GOOD STARE GETS HER OUT OF THE BUILDING AND KEEPS HER AWAY FROM SAM FOR WEEKS. WILL BESIDES SHE IS INTERESTED IN JOSH NOW ANYWAY. JOSH HANG ON WILL - WE JUST WENT TO A GAME TOGETHER AS FRIENDS NOTHING MORE.......... WILL BUT THEN YOU WENT TO BERNIE’S AFTER THE GAME. KERI SOUNDS SERIOUS JOSH - ABOUT TIME - HECK YOU’RE THE GOOD CATCH OUT OF THIS 20- SOMETHING CROWD. WILL I KEEP TELLING HIM THAT - BUT HE JUST SAYS GO CUBS OR CUBS WIN OR HEY HEY !! JOSH I 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. KERI WELL - ARE YOU GOING ? WILL WAS SHE CUTE ? JOSH YES SHE WAS CUTE - AND THIS WAS HER PARENT’S SECOND HOUSE OR MANSION ! SHE’S FROM WHITEFISH BAY NORTH OF MILWAUKEE.

4


KERI WERE HER PARENTS ATTENDING ALSO ? JOSH I REALLY DON’T KNOW - IT’S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. WILL SHE IN FACT FROM WHAT I HEARD IS JUST A JUNIOR AT RIPON. KERI WHERE THE HECK IS RIPON ? JOSH OH - IT’S IN THE MIDDLE OF WISCONSIN - UP THERE SOMEWHERE. KERI WELL 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. JOSH CHILL 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 ! KERI NO ONE CAN HANDLE YOU WITH THIS MBA/LAW DEGREE AND WORKING AT WEAGHMAN’S PARK SELLING LEINIES AND ZUERCHER CHEESE SANDWICHES. WILL YOU FORGOT JOSH MAKES A MEAN SHEBOYGAN BRAT ALSO. KERI WELL - YOU NEED TO START RAMPING JOSH - I MEAN YOU’RE IN LOW GEAR, HAVING FUN, LIVING OFF THE CUBS, AND........ JOSH LIKE 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. KERI I 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.

5


JOSH I’LL ALWAYS GO TO CUB GAMES - I KNOW THAT - THE BEARS AND BULLS - WELL WE’LL SEE. KERI AND NEVER EVER FORGET YOUR FAMILY THOUGH. JOSH KERI - 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. KERI BUT I AM NOT GOING TO THAT GAME AGAINST THE GOPHERS UP THERE THIS FALL. THAT’S TOO MUCH. JOSH WHAT 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. WILL BUT YOU WON’T BE ANY HAPPIER JOSH I 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. KERI I 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. WILL THAT’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. JOSH SO WHAT DID YOU TELL SAM ABOUT THE DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS ? KERI I 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 6


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. WILL WHICH REMINDS ME - JOSH THIS GUY IN THE CORNER NEEDS A BRAT AND THE LEINIE WHEAT STUFF. KERI HECK IF YOU GO TO RIPON YOU MIGHT JUST AS WELL GO TO THE LEINENKUGEL PLANT IN CHIPPEWA FALLS WHILE YOU’RE UP THERE. JOSH IT’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. KERI SO 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. JOSH THIS ISN’T A CABIN - IT’S A PALACE - AND HER DAD IS A WORLD WIDE INVESTOR WHO FLYS EVERYWHERE - AND THEY AREN’T POOR. KERI AND THE MAJOR ? JOSH THEY DON’T HAVE MAJORS IN RIPON - IT’S A LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION EVERYONE IS.............. WILL LIKE AL GORE - LIBERALLY EDUCATED. JOSH NO 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. WILL I BET THOSE WHO HANG AT THE SMART BAR DON’T KNOW THIS STUFF. KERI WELL THEY ARE SO POLLUTED DURING BASEBALL SEASON THEY WOULDN’T EVEN KNOW IF THEY KNEW THIS STUFF OR NOT. WILL AND RIPON IS JUST A BREEDING GROUND FOR WEALTH ACCUMULATION.

7


JOSH RELAX - MOST PEOPLE GOING TO THIS COLLEGE NEED AID. WILL YOU MEAN LIMO MONEY OR REAL MONEY TO PAY FOR BOOKS ? JOSH YOU 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. KERI SO 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. WILL I’LL TAKE SAM - WE WON’T SPY - I PROMISE - MAYBE I COULD EVEN GET A DATE WHILE I’M THERE. KERI AND WAIT UNTIL MELANIE FINDS OUT ! TWO RECENT DUMPS. JOSH THIS 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. KERI KEEP IT THAT WAY - TRUST ME. I HEARD SHE TRIED TO LURE YOU TO THE NORTHERN - GOPHER GAME AND YOU REFUSED JOSH THAT IS THE EXACT SAME WEEKEND WITH THE MILWAUKEE SERIES. I SAID I’D GO TO SOME HOME GAMES WITH HER. KERI WELL 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. JOSH HERE YOU GO AGAIN KERI - CHILL !! KERI WELL MAYBE I’M OVER REACTING A BIT - WE ALL ARE ! WILL HEY HEY - HERE COMES ELLIOTT - I BET HE HAS TRIED OUT FOR ANOTHER DOWNTOWN PLAY ?

8


ELLIOT NO - WILL I HAVE NOT AND MAY NEVER AGAIN. IT’S TOO POLITICAL. JOSH SO YOU’RE JUST ENJOYING YOUR JUNIOR HIGH BAND. ELLIOT WE’VE IN FACT WON MORE AWARDS INCLUDING BEST YOUNG BAND IN CHICAGO PER THE SUN TIMES. WILL WHOA - GREAT JOB ELLIOTT. YOU DON’T NEED DOWNTOWN CHICAGO THEATER. KERI BUT IT IS WHAT ELLIOTT WANTS TO DO. ELLIOT I’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. JOSH DON’T FORGET FUKIDOME, REED JOHNSON, LOU, OUR CATCHER - THERE ARE MANY PIECES TO THE CUBS. KERI AND DON’T FORGET THE FANS - THEY WOO THEM TO VICTORY - WE ARE DAMn LOUD THIS YEAR. WE’RE HITTING EVERYTHING. JOSH I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE POST SEASON - HOPEFULLY WE’LL HAVE SOME DAY PLAYOFF GAMES THIS YEAR. KERI TICKETS WILL BE SKY HIGH - BUT IT WILL BE WELL WORTH IT. WILL AND MR. W NEVER QUITS COMING - HE SEEMS A LITTLE EXCITED - WE HAVE TO TALK TO HIM. JOSH NO 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. ELLIOT OR HE COULD BE THE GUY WHO PLANTED THE IVY AT VEEK’S DIRECTION IN 1937.

9


KERI ANYWAY - HE COMES HERE - AND THAT IS IN ITSELF VERY COOL. WILL AND NOT TO THE SMART BAR. KERI DON’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. JOSH BUT 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. ELLIOT COME ON JOSH - THAT IS WOEFULLY RIDICULOUS. THEY DON’T REALLY THINK THAT. WILL YES THEY DO - THAT SIGN MAKES AN IMPRESSION AND THEY THINK THEY ARE SMART AND COOL AND THEIR KIND WILL HANG THERE. KERI SO WEAGHMAN’S GETS NOTHING BUT BLUBBERY GUYS AND GALS ABOVE THE BORDER - EXCEPTING JOSH’S GIRLFRIEND FROM RIPON ? WILL PRETTY MUCH - I MEAN YOU DON’T GO TO WEAGHMAN’S IF YOU WANT TO GET AHEAD SOCIALLY IN WIRGLEYVILLE - YOU JUST DON’T PERIOD. ELLIOT BUT MR. W COMES IN HERE - AND HE MAY SET THE BAR FOR EVERYONE IN THIS TOWN. WILL THE 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. KERI ALL I KNOW IS THAT YOUR OWNER MAY NEED TO GET A BETTER CLIENTELE JOSH. JOSH I 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 10


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. KERI YOU CAN SAY THAT - BUT LOOK AT LOU’S COMMENTS IN THE TRIBUNE HE SAYS NOT TO GET TOO EXCITED. ELLIOT WE HAVE TO BE EXCITED - I MEAN LOOK AT OUR RELIEVERS RECENTLY INCLUDING WUERTZ, COTTS, AND HOWRY - IN ADDITION TO WOOD. THEY HAVE BEEN SPECTACULAR. WILL AND 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. JOSH SO GOOD THAT WE HAVE A TEAM ERA OF 3.5 - AND Z IS 2 AND A THIRD. KERI LOOK 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. WILL AND ALL OUR PLAYERS WILL GET INCREASINGly MORE VOTES BY ALL FANS DUE TO OUR BEST RECORD IN EITHER LEAGUE. ELLIOT EVEN 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. JOSH IT 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. KERI BUT REMEMBER WHAT LOU SAID - IT IS VERY EARLY AND WE CAN DO MUCH BETTER IN BUNTING, FIELDING, AND HIT AND RUN. JOSH YOU 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. ELLIOT BUT THIS YEAR IS CLEARLY DIFFERENT. LOOK AT GUYS LIKE REED JOHNSON - NOT A GREAT AVERAGE - BUT MEANINGFUL HITS AND GREAT FIELDING WHEN CALLED UPON. 11


JOSH AND NO MORE CLUB HOUSE FIGHTS BETWEEN GUYS THAT CAN’T GET ALONG PROFESSIONALLY. KERI YES, THE BEER WILL BE FLOWING THIS SUMMER AND FALL. THE 100 YEAR SCOURGE IS ABOUT TO END. JOSH YES THE BEER WILL BE FLOWING - EVEN THE DIE HARD NORTH SIDERS WILL BE DRINKING LEINIES IN HERE. ELLIOT MAYBE THE SMART BAR OWNER WILL GET SOME LEINES - BECAUSE IT IS SO ADDICTING - BEST THING I’VE EVER HAD. KERI WE 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. JOSH IF 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. WILL LOU SAYS IT IS THE LOUDEST HE’S EVER HEARD IT AT WRIGLEY - I THINK EVERYONE IS HAVING FUN - AND MANAGEMENT IS MAKING SOME MONEY. KERI HECK - 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. ELLIOT HEY JOSH - THIS GAL IN THE NEXT TABLE WANTS A LEINIES LIGHT - SHE SAYS SHE KNOWS YOU. JOSH THAT BLOND THERE THAT KEEPS STARING - NEVER SEEN HER BEFORE. ELLIOT BUT SHE’S KINDA CUTE - MAYBE YOU SHOULD HIT ON HER JOSH.

12


KERI NO 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. JOSH HANG ON KERI - MELANIE AND I ARE JUST FRIENDS KERI YOU 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 WILL LIKE AT THE GRADUATING RESIDENT’S PARTY - I HEARD UNTIL YOU GOT THERE KERI - MELANIE COULDN’T STAY AWAY FROM SAM. JOSH KERI - YOU ARE BEING MUCH TOO HARD ON MELANIE - SHE IS A NICE GAL - PICTURE YOURSELF WITH AN AMBITION TOWARDS SOMEONE LIKE SAM. KERI FOR 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. WILL KERI - YOU JUST NEED TO CHILL. SAM HAS A GOOD HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER AND MELANIE WILL MOVE ON. KERI WELL 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. ELLIOT I AGREE WITH JOSH - MELANIE IS JUST MAKING ONE LAST PLAY FOR SAM AND THEN IT’S THROUGH. KERI YOU 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. ELLIOT HEY JOSH - THAT GAL WITH THE LEINIES LIGHT JUST KEEPS STARING. JOSH I REALLY DON’T KNOW THIS GAL - NOT AT ALL.

13


WILL WELL GO OVER AND AT LEAST SAY HELLO. KERI I DON’T KNOW JOSH - IT COULD BE A FATAL ATTRACTION. JOSH DON’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............ KERI OH 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. JOSH THANKS MOTHER KERI. KERI STAY WITH THE GIRL FROM RIPON - THOUGH SHE’S YOUNG - SHE SOUNDS LIKE SHE HAS IT ALL TOGETHER. JOSH I’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. KERI I FLAT OUT JUST KNOW JOSH. ELLIOT IS SAM COMING OVER TO WEAGHMAN’S PARK TONIGHT KERI ? KERI HE’S TRYING - HE DOESN’T ANSWER HIS CELL - WHICH MEANS HE IS IN THE OR WITH SOMETHING SERIOUS. WILL IT’S ALWAYS SERIOUS IF IT’S IN THE OR. KERI YOU 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. WILL THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL QUARTERBACK EVER IN ILLINOIS - SHOULD HAVE STARTED FOR THE BEARS - INSTEAD OF THE TAXI SQUAD LIKE THEY HAD ME ON. 14


KERI YOU KNOW SAM - HE’S SO IDEALISTIC, YOUNG, DAUNTING, AND NOW THAT DOCTOR WITHOUT BORDERS KEEPS COMING UP TIME AND TIME AGAIN. ELLIOT YOU MEAN THE DOCTORS WITHOUT INCOME. KERI I 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. JOSH I 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. ELLIOT WELL THIS IS GETTING SO HEAVY AND THEY NEED 3 ZUERCHER BABY SWISS SANDWICHES IN THE BACK WITH REGULAR LEINENKUGeLS. JOSH COMING RIGHT UP. THESE GUYS ARE REPEAT CUSTOMERS ALSO. ELLIOT AND THERE GOES THE STARING BLOND - IT’S AS IF YOU STOOD HER UP JOSH - SHE’S ACTING MAD. KERI JUST LIKE GLEN CLOSE. EXACTLY. JOSH I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING. WILL YOU DIDN’T INTRODUCE YOURSELF. SHE EXPECTS THAT. JOSH COME 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. ELLIOT AND NOW LOOK - SHE IS STARING AT YOU FROM THE DOOR. YOU HAVE HAD QUITE AN EFFECT ON HER JOSH. JOSH WELL I’LL JUST GO SAY HI TO HER. 15


KERI NO WAY - SHE’LL INVITE YOU TO ANOTHER LAKE UP NORTH LIKE THAT RIPON GAL FROM...........WHERE IS HER HOME ? JOSH WHITEFISH BAY - JUST NORTH OF MILWAUKEE ON THE LAKE. WILL NOW 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. JOSH SEEMS PRETTY LIGHTWEIGHT. KERI SAM SAYS ALL THE GUYS AT COOK WERE LAUGHING ABOUT THIS INJURY. WILL YES - THEY TOOK HIM TO NORTHWESTERN FOR AN MRI SCAN - SEEMS LIKE OVER KILL AND A WASTE OF TWO GRAND ON A PULLED MUSCLE. SAM I OVERHEARD THAT - HOW IS EVERYBODY DOING ? JOSH GREAT - SO O’NORA IS NOT A GRAND ROUNDS TYPE OF CASE ? SAM ARE 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. WILL AND THEN THEY TRANSFERRED HIM TO NORTHWESTERN FOR AN MRI. YOU DON’T DO MRIS AT COOK ON MUSCLE STRAINS DO YOU SAM ? SAM YES 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. JOSH SO 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.

16


KERI I 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. ELLIOT IT’S NOT LIKE THE LEAGUE IS STARVING. RECORD ATTENDANCE IN 2007 PER SELIG. JOSH THERE 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. KERI I’D HATE THAT - BECAUSE THE SOX ALWAYS SPOIL OUR DAY. SAM HEY HEY - THAT GUY BACK THERE IS DRYING UP - WANTS A LEINIES TAP BEER. JOSH COMING 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. KERI OH MY GOSH - HERE COMES THAT MYSTERIOUS BLOND JOSH - THE ONE THAT CANNOT QUIT STARING. SAM WOW - SHE’S CUTE !! KERI NO SHE ISN’T - WELL MAYBE A LITTLE - SHE IS A REAL LIFE GLEN CLOSE DON’T GET NEAR HER. WILL OK - IF JOSH CAN’T HAVE HER - CAN I HIT ON HER MOTHER KERI ? KERI NO SHE’LL KILL ALL OF US - JUST LET HER BE - GO DOWN TO BERNIE’S OR THE SMART BAR. NOT HERE. WILL SHE REALLY DOES ACT LIKE SHE KNOWS JOSH - I BET IT WAS A FRESHMAN DATE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.

17


JOSH HONEST 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. KERI SHE MAY FOLLOW YOU HOME. JOSH SO - WHAT IS SHE GONNA DO - MAYHEM ! KERI I 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. SAM ANYWAY 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. KERI SAM - THIS ISN’T COLLEGE - YOU ARE DONE WITH FOOTBALL - NOW IT’S MEDICINE AND ANESTHESIA - REMEMBER. SAM WHAT 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. KERI OK - DONATIONS, ROSARIES, AND MASSES - I GET ALL THAT - WE DON’T HAVE TO GO TO AWAY FOOTBALL GAMES. WE JUST DON’T. WILL I BET MELANIE WANTS TO GO ! SAM SHE IN FACT DOES. KERI OK - 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.
