Clark & addison EpisodE Xii - “QUalMs“

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 - LONG TIME NO SEE - DIDN’T ALL THE BRAGGING ABOUT THE CUBS PAY OFF.

WILLYOU ARE PERFECT JOSH - THE CUBBIES ARE IN FIRST PLACE AND I BET THEY ABSOLUTELY STAY THERE FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON.

JOSHHEY - NOT ONLY THAT - THOUGH WE MAY HAVE SOME INJURIES - LIKE WOOD AND SORIANO CAN NEVER STAY HEALTHY - WE WILL STILL BE IN THE BATTLE FOR THE NL CHAMPIONSHIP AND SERIES.

WILLYOU ARE PERFECT - JUST WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR - YEARS OF STRUGGLE WILL COME TO AN END THIS YEAR. THE FANS WILL BE REWARDED.

JOSHI’M REAL EXCITED. THINGS COULDN’T GET ANY BETTER AROUND WRIGLEYVILLE.

WILLWHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THAT BORDER GIRL WHO INVITED YOU UP TO THE LAKE - YOU KNOW THE RIPON GIRL - YOU KNOW HER PARENTS WERE FROM MILWAUKEE - WHITEFISH BAY ?

JOSHOH YES - SHE BOMBED OUT. I CALLED FOR DIRECTIONS BACK INTO THE LAKE BY THE DELLS....AND WELL SHE SAID SHE HAD SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT ME.

WILLSHE WAS PROBABLY CRAZY !

3

JOSHNO - I THINK SHE PROBABLY FELL IN LOVE WITH SOME OTHER GUY. WHAT DID KERI THINK ?

WILLI DON’T KNOW - I HAVEN’T SEEN HER AROUND.

KERII HEARD ALL THAT - IF YOU GUYS ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THE DELLS - IT’S BEEN ON NATIONAL TV ?

WILLWHAT DO YOU MEAN ? DELLS NATIONAL TV ?

KERITHE FLOODS - DUMBO - LAKE DELTON WAS SWAMPED BY THE DAM BREAKING.

JOSHYOU MEAN ALL OF CHICAGO IS SAVED BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE TO GO THERE NOW !

KERIRIGHT - NOW THEY’LL PROBABLY JUST GO TO........... MICHIGAN OR INDIANA OR...

WILLI KNOW - GREEN LAKE BY RIPON - I HAD TO GO THERE YEARS AGO.

JOSHRIPON IS WHERE THIS WHITEFISH BAY GODDESS GOES TO SCHOOL. SHE MENTIONED PARTIES AT GREEN LAKE.

WILLALL I REMEMBER IS THAT IT WAS THE DEEPEST LAKE IN WISCONSIN - LIKE 300 FEET.

KERITHEN IT’S PROBABLY COLD - A GOOD PLACE FOR MELANIE TO HANG OUT.

JOSHSHE STILL RUBS YOU WRONG DOESN’T SHE !

KERIONLY 500 % OF THE TIME = SHE’LL NEVER LEAVE SAM ALONE - EVEN AFTER WE MARRY.

WILLYOU ARE GETTING MARRIED KERI ?

4

KERIWELL - WE’RE STARTING TO LOOK AT RINGS.

JOSHWOW - HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOUR DOG YET - ALL YOUNG COUPLES BUY DOGS BEFORE KIDS COME ?

KERIWE TALKED ABOUT IT - BUT WE’RE BOTH NEVER HOME.

WILLBEEN TO ANY CUBS GAMES RECENTLY ?

KERINO - SAM HAS BEEN WAY TOO BUSY.

JOSHIS SAM STILL TALKING DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS OR PEACE CORPS OR...........

KERII REALLY DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. I MEAN IT IS A SPEAR IN OUR RELATIONSHIP.

JOSHOK WE WON’T TALK ABOUT IT - BUT I MUST SAY IT IS ADMIRABLE FOR THIS SUPERSTAR ANESTHESIA GUY TO NOT STAY ON THE GOLD COAST HERE AND MAKE MEGABUCKS - AND INSTEAD TAKE CARE OF THE POOR AND NEEDY.

WILLI AGREE - WE SHOULD ALL BE DOING WHAT SAM IS TALKING ABOUT - THERE WOULD BE MUCH LESS STRIFE IN THIS WORLD BECAUSE OF THIS GOOD WILL.

KERII’M SORRY GUYS - AS MUCH AS I SEE OF NEED IN THIS WORLD - THERE IS JUST AS MUCH NEED IN THE US.

JOSHWELL YOU COULD GO WITH SAM. IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING FOR BOTH OF YOU.

KERIYOU DON’T GET IT - NEITHER OF US HAS MONEY, SAM HAS LOANS WHICH ARE OUTSTANDING - WE CAN HARDLY PAY THE RENT - I SAY DO THIS STUFF LATER AFTER YOU’RE ESTABLISHED AND HAVE YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND.

WILLARE YOU REALLY EVER ESTABLISHED ? IS ANYTHING SO SECURE ANYMORE ?

5

JOSHNO - IT IS NOT - YOU KNOW THAT KERI.

KERIAGAIN YOU GUYS ARE JUST REBELLIOUS - HECK SAM COULD HAVE HIS PICK OF HOSPITAL ANESTHESIA GROUPS IN THIS TOWN IF HE WANTED - OR ANYWHERE ELSE.

WILLLIKE ROCKFORD !

KERIWE ARE NOT MOVING TO ROCKFORD !

WILLOK - BUT I GET WHAT YOU MEAN - MAYBE THE ANESTHESIA GROUP WOULD SPOT YOU SOME MONEY TO DO THIS HEART WARMING MEDICAL STINT.

KERIWE’VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THIS - NO GROUP OF MATERIALISTIC DOCTORS IS PAYING SAM TO DIG DITCHES IN AFRICA. I KNOW THIS. IN FACT WHEN SAM TOLD ONE OF THE ANESTHESIA GROUP’S PRESIDENT ABOUT HIS NEED TO BE A STEWARD OF THE PROFESSION AND THE UNITED STATES - WELL HE JUST LAUGHED.

JOSHWELL MOST OF THESE DOCTOR GUYS GET CAUGHT UP IN WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IN OUR CULTURE IS CAUGHT UP IN - JUST PLAIN MONEY - MONEY JUSTIFIES ANY BEHAVIOR OR MEANS TO GET TO THIS END. I SAW THAT IN MANY ATTORNEYS AT THE U OF CHICAGO FROM PRIVATE PRACTICE.

KERII’M SORRY YOU GUYS - THIS IS THE REAL WORLD - I WANT A DIAMOND RING, KIDS, MINIVAN, CHURCH, CUBS AND BEAR TICKETS, AND A SETTLED LIFE. I DON’T WANT DEBT, CARDBOARD HOUSE, STRAINED SOUP, AND CHOLERA.

WILLWELL MAYBE HE’S NOT THE GUY FOR YOU THEN KERI - I’M JUST BEING HONEST.

JOSHYES - MAYBE YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE MOVED IN TOGETHER UNTIL YOU WERE MARRIED. REMEMBER OUR HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CATHOLIC RELIGIOUS CLASSES TAUGHT US THIS - THE DIVORCE RATE IS MUCH HIGHER WITH COUPLES THAT MOVE IN TOGETHER WITHOUT MAKING COMMITMENTS TO EACH OTHER.

KERIYEA I KNEW THAT GOING IN - BUT HE INSISTED.

6

WILLMOST GUYS WOULD INSIST ON THIS ADVANTAGEOUS RELATIONSHIP. THEN THEY DRAG THEIR FEET ON MARRIAGE.

KERIPRECISELY - BUT WHAT DO I DO NOW - I’M COMMITTED WITH THE MOVE.

JOSHWELL REMEMBER THE SHARK INFESTED WATER TEST FOR GUYS ?

KERIOH RIGHT - MAKE SAM SWIM UPSTREAM AMIDST SHARK INFESTED WATERS TO GIVE ME A LEMONADE. RIGHT !

JOSHIT’S THE ONLY WAY - YOUR RELATIONSHIP WILL NEVER WORK UNLESS YOU MAKE HIM PROVE TO YOU THAT HE IS WORTHY AND REALLY WANTS THIS RELATIONSHIP.

KERISO I MOVE OUT, UPSET HIM, WAIT FOR HIM TO CALL ME BACK, AND INCUR TWO MOVING TRUCK COSTS - I HAVE A TON OF STUFF.

WILLPRECISELY - THAT MIGHT MAKE HIM REALIZE WITH MORE COSTS HE BETTER GET A REAL JOB HERE IN CHICAGO...

JOSHOR ROCKFORD !

KERIYES - SAM CAN JUST DO HIS DUTIFUL ASSISTANCE TO THE POOR IN THIS AREA - CHICAGO, ROCKFORD, DEKALB - IT DOESN’T MATTER.

WILLREMEMBER SAM TALKING ABOUT THAT ONE RESIDENT WHO WAS IN THE LIVE IN RELATIONSHIP AND......

KERIAND HE CAME HOME ONE EVENING AFTER CALL, VERY TIRED, AND THE HOUSE WAS LOCKED. HE THEN CLIMBED IN THE BACK DOOR AND NOTICED THE HOUSE WAS TOTALLY EMPTY - ZERO.

WILLTHEN HIS NEIGHBOR CAME OVER AND TOLD HIM THERE WAS A LARGE MOVING TRUCK HERE ALL DAY.

JOSHYOU MEAN THE GUY DIDN’T KNOW WHERE HIS CLOTHES, PERSONALS, FURNITURE, OR ANYTHING WAS ?

7

KERITOTALLY - THE GUY HAD ON DIRTY BLOODY SCRUBS AND AND NOW HAD ZERO BELONGINGS.

WILLYES THIS RESIDENT WENT INTO A EMOTIONAL TAILSPIN - NO MONEY, NO CLOTHES, NO SUPPORT SYSTEM, NOTHING.

JOSHALL BECAUSE OF THIS LIVE IN ADVANTAGEOUS RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT COMMITMENT - SOME WOULD SAY HE DESERVED IT - BECAUSE HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DITCHED THE GAL AFTER THE RESIDENCY, AVOIDED ILLINOIS ALIMONY, AND WENT ONTO A LIFE UP THE COAST IN WHITEFISH BAY.

WILLOR HE WOULD’VE DIVORCED HER AFTER A COUPLE KIDS FOR A MELANIE TYPE.

KERIYES GUYS CAN BE ABSOLUTE CREEPS.

JOSHNOT CUB GUYS THOUGH - HECK LOOK AT WHAT WE’VE DONE - PRODUCTION IN EVERY CATEGORY - HITTING, FIELDING, RELIEF AND STARTING PITCHING.

WILLEVEN KERRY WOOD IS GETTING US TO WIN GAMES - WHO SAID HE COULDN’T RELIEVE.

KERIALL I EVER HEAR ABOUT IS THE LONG WIN STREAKS - HMMMMM....WHAT 9 IN A ROW.

JOSHAND DEMPSTER CANNOT BE BEAT AT WRIGLEY. AND..............

WILLWAIT A SECOND JOSH, THIS GUY OVER HERE WANTS ANOTHER LEINE’S AMBER ON TAP.

JOSHGOT IT. HE IS BEGINNING TO BE A REGULAR CUSTOMER. COMES IN AFTER A MANY GAMES AND IS VERY FRIENDLY.

KERITHAT’S WHAT WE WANT - KEEP JOSH’S BUSINESS MODEL GOING HERE - DISPUTING ALL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO’S THEORIES ABOUT BUSINESS.

8

JOSHNO NOT REALLY - WITH THE CUBS A HALF BLOCK AWAY AND SO MUCH INTEREST THROUGHOUT THE MIDWEST - EVEN IN WISCONSIN WHERE FANS ARE SO LOYAL TO THEIR TEAMS - WE STILL DO WELL.

WILLBUT AGAIN THE CUBS MUST KEEP IT UP - GUYS LIKE SOTO MUST CONTINUE TO CATCH SHUTOUTS AND PLAY WELL. MILWAUKEE AND ST. LOUIS WILL BE RIGHT ON OUR TAILS.

JOSHI’M NOT SO WORRIED ABOUT ST. LOUIS - BUT MILWAUKEE - THEY HAVE THE HORSES, AND THERE IS TALK ABOUT SABATHIA FROM CLEVELAND COMING OVER TO THE BREWERS.

KERIEVEN WITH THE JERSEY BOYS SINGING AT WRIGLEY - IT DOESN’T GUARANTEE A NL OR WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP RING.

WILLWELL WITH Z BEING THE BIG LEADER AND ALL STARS IN SORIANO, FUKUDOME, AND Z - WE SHOULD BE IN GOOD SHAPE.

KERIDEREK MUST HIT BETTER - HE IS A GREAT ATHLETE AND A BIG KEY - HE CANNOT RELY ON THERIOT, REED JOHNSON, DEROSA, RAMIREZ AND ALL THE OTHERS TO CARRY HIS LOAD.

JOSHIF WE BREAK EVEN WHILE SORIANO IS OUT WITH A WRIST FRACTURE HEALING, I’LL FEEL GOOD.

WILLTHAT WOULD PREVENT THE BREWERS AND CARDINALS FROM GAINING GROUND ON US PROBABLY - UNLESS THEY WENT ON A REAL TEAR.

KERIWELL I SEE LOU GETTING REAL GRUMPY BEFORE THE SEASON IS OVER - IT’S ALMOST LIKE HE’S ON DRUGS AND ENJOYING THE RIDE.

WILLWAIT A SECOND JOSH - THIS GROUP BACK HERE WANTS SOME WEIRD ZUERCHER’S CHEESE I’VE NEVER HEARD OF.

JOSHWE JUST CARRY THE MAIN LINES FOR SANDWICHES AND PLATES - THEY HAVE MULTIPLE VARIETIES EMULATING DIFFERENT EUROPEAN CHEESES.

KERISO WHAT DO YOU DO FOR THEM - WE HAVE AN ARRANGEMENT - WE REFER THEM UP TO SKOKIE AND WEEGHMANS’ PARK GETS A GREAT

9

RATE ON CHEESE PURCHASES. IT’S GOOD PR FOR BOTH PARTIES SINCE THEY PROMOTE WEAGHMAN’S’S PARK ALSO.

WILLWOULDN’T IT BE SOMETHING IF LOU CAME HERE SOME NIGHT.

JOSHNEVER CAN HAPPEN WILL - I THINK THEY CONTRACT NOT TO HANG OUT IN BARS AND STUFF ON CLARK STREET - FEARING THAT ALL KINDS OF ARTICLES WOULD APPEAR. HECK I’M JUST HAPPY FOR LOU - AS HE MAY HAVE FOUND A HOME IN BASEBALL WITH THE CUBS. HE’S ACTUALLY GLAD THE TAMPA BAY RAYS ARE DOING WELL THIS YEAR.

WILLMY GOD - HE REALLY STRUGGLED WITH THAT TEAM OVER MANY YEARS. BUT HE WAS QUITE SUCCESSFUL AS A MANAGER AND PLAYER ELSEWHERE.

KERITHE MOST IMPORTANT FACT IS THAT WITH LOU WE WERE 19 GAMES BETTER IN 2007 THAN 2006 - THAT IS BIG - AND WON OUR DIVISION.

JOSHYES - WE WERE 8.5 GAMES OUT - BEHIND MILWAUKEE JUNE 23, 2007 - AND WE CLIMBED BACK INTO IT WITH THE LEAD AUGUST 17TH - WITH THE BREWER’S HELP.

WILLI DON’T THINK MILWAUKEE WILL FOLD THIS YEAR THOUGH - I’M FEELING THEY WILL BE WILD CARD MATERIAL AND WE MAY HAVE TO FACE THESE GUYS IN OCTOBER.

KERILOU WILL HAVE OUR TEAM PREPARED AND RESTED - IN FACT EVEN THOUGH IT’S EARLY, HE IS GIVING DAYS OFF AND PLAYING LOTS OF PLAYERS.

WILLLOU IS 4TH AMONG ACTIVE MANGERS WITH WINS INCLUDING LARUSSA, COX, AND TORRE.

KERIANYONE COULD WIN WITH TORRE’S PLAYERS HE’S HAD FOR YEARS - HE HAS THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY IN NEW YORK PREVIOUSLY, AND NOW LA. IT’S A JOKE.

WILLBUT THE YANKS DON’T WIN IT EVERY YEAR - IN FACT I FEEL TEAMS PLAY A LOT HARDER AGAINST THESE GUYS.

10

JOSHWELL THE CUBS HAVE THE PLAYERS, A TWO TIME MANAGER OF THE YEAR IN LOU, AND THE VERY BEST FANS - SELL OUT AFTER SELL OUT.

KERII FEEL LOU AND HIS FAMILY WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE CHICAGO HOME. DID YOU KNOW LOU PLAYED LITTLE LEAGUE AGAINST LARUSSA IN TAMPA - AMAZING - IT IS SUCH A SMALL WORLD.

JOSHWELL LOU HAS MANAGED NEW YORK, CINCY, SEATTLE, AND TAMPA BAY PRIOR TO THE CUBS. IN 1991 LOU WON THE WORLD SERIES WITH CINCY

KERII READ WHERE LOU WAS A .291 LIFETIME HITTER, WAS IN TOP 10 OF AL BATTING 4 TIMES, AND BATTED 305 IN POST SEASON PLAY - NOT BAD.

JOSHHE WAS A DECENT 3RD BASEMAN ALSO - HE IS THE GUY THE CUBS REALLY NEEDED AND GAVE OUR TEAM A BIG JOLT - UNLEASHING OUR TALENT IN MANY WAYS.

KERIMAN - IF LOU CAN BRING A WORLD SERIES WIN TO CHICAGO - HE’LL WIN THE MAYOR’S RACE FOR SURE IF HE RUNS - 100 YEAR DROUGHT BACK TO 1908.

WILLMORE LEINE’S BACK IN THE CORNER JOSH. YOU ACTUALLY COULD USE A FEW WAITERS - MAYBE WE SHOULD APPLY.

JOSHWELL MOST PATRONS JUST COME UP TO REFILL IF THEY WANT AND PAY WHEN THEY LEAVE - AGAIN MOST PEOPLE ARE VERY HONEST - AND WE ARE MAKING GOOD MONEY HERE AT WEEGHMAN’S PARK. WE AREN’T ABOUT TO CHANGE THE BUSINESS MODEL AND RAMP UP EVERYTHING.

WILLSO NO EXPANSION FOR WEAGHMAN’S PARK FOR NOW ?

JOSHRIGHT - EVERYBODY AROUND CLARK AND ADDISON - AND EVEN WAVELAND HAS THEIR NICHE OF PATRONS. LIKE THE SMART BAR - WE COULDN’T COMPETE WITH THOSE GUYS.

KERITHEY ARE SUCH A JOKE - EVERYONE STILL THINKS THEY GET A BOOST BY GOING THERE - AS IF THEY ARE SMARTER BY GOING IN.

JOSHI EVEN LIKE THEIR BUSINESS MODEL. IT WORKS FOR THEM AND THAT IS WHAT COUNTS.

11

WILLBACK TO BASEBALL - I EVEN FEEL WE HAVE SUPERB ASSISTANT MANAGERS THIS YEAR - EVEN BETTER THAN O7.

KERILIKE DEJESUS, ALAN TRAMMEL, GERALD PERRY, QUADE, ROTHSCHILD, STRODE, AND SINATRO - ALL GREAT BASEBALL FUNDAMENTALISTS AND PLAYERS.

JOSHDEJESUS HAS COME A LONG WAY - HE STARTED MANAGING WITH KISSIMMEE IN 1990 - GULF COAST LEAGUE.

KERIBETTER YET AS WE WERE JUST THOUGHTS - HE PLAYED WONDERFUL INFIELD FOR THE CUBS IN THE 70S.

WILLAND LOOK AT PERRY AS A HITTING COACH - HE WAS A HITTING TERROR AS A PLAYER WITH ATLANTA.

JOSHPERRY HAS BEEN AROUND - IN FACT I REMEMBER READING HIS COACHING HELPED PITTSBURGH CLIMB 23 BATTING POINTS IN ONE YEAR - THAT’S IMPRESSIVE.

KERII FEEL HE HAS PAID OFF BIG FOR THE CUBBIES AS WE ARE GETTING BIG KEY HITS - HAVING BIG INNINGS - AND BY HITTING, ADDING TO LEADS THIS YEAR.

WILLQUADE HAS BEEN BIG WITH ARAMIS AT THIRD - QUADE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL MINOR LEAGUE CAREER AS MANAGER AND PLAYER. HE WAS A GOOD COACHING FIT FOR THE CUBS.

JOSHI FEEL OUR BIGGEST IMPROVEMENT HAS BEEN WITH ROTHSCHILD AS PITCHING COACH SINCE 2002 IN CHICAGO.

KERIYES - YOU WIN WITH PITCHING - ALWAYS - AND OUR PITCHERS HAVE PERFORMED VERY WELL THIS YEAR. HECK ROTHSCHILD WAS BORN IN CHICAGO - BUT LIKE LOU LIVES IN TAMPA - HE’S ANOTHER ONE THAT SHOULD MOVE TO WRIGLEYVILLE.

WILLBUT KERI YOU KNOW HOW FICKLE MANAGERS JOBS ARE. YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO KIND OF GOOD OR OK - OR IN FACT WIN - AND THEY STILL LET YOU GO.

12

JOSHLIKE JOE TORRE OF THE YANKS -

KERIIT WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE THERE.

WILLAND I DON’T FEEL IT WILL WORK WITH A DIFFERENT COACH IN NEW YORK.

JOSHAND SINATRO HAS FOLLOWED LOU WHEREVER HE GOES - BEING IN SEATTLE AND TAMPA BAY WITH LOU.

KERIHE HAS REALLY HELPED DEREK AT FIRST - NOW DEREK IS PRACTICALLY A GOLD GLOVER ROUTINELY.

JOSHAND STRODE AS BULLPEN COACH HAS MADE OUR BULLPEN THE VERY BEST IN BASEBALL. HE’S BEEN WITH THE CUBS FOR 20 PLUS YEARS. AMAZING - HE MUST BE GOOD IF LOU AND MANAGEMENT KEEP HIM YEAR AFTER YEAR.

WILLAND YOU CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT ALAN TRAMMEL - THE FACE OF THE DETROIT TIGERS FOR YEARS - A TRULY GREAT PLAYER. I HOPE HE CAN TRANSFER THAT TO COACHING.

JOSHSIX GOLD GLOVE AWARDS, WORLD SERIES WIN IN 1984 AS MVP, AND PLAYED 20 YEARS FOR THE TIGERS LIKE KALINE AND COBB.

KERISOME GUYS CANNOT TRANSFER THEIR PLAYING INTENSITY AND SKILLS TO COACHING - MAYBE TRAMMEL WILL - AS HE WAS A SUPERB FIELDER AND HITTER.

WILLAND A TEAM GUY - UNSELFISH - THIS IS WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT TRAMMEL - THIS WILL HELP THE CUBS BECAUSE IT DOES TAKE A VILLAGE TO WIN A SERIES.

JOSHWHAT TIME IS SAM COMING OVER ?

KERII REALLY DON’T KNOW - AFTER TALKING TO YOU GUYS - IT SOUNDS LIKE I SHOULD LEAVE HIM AND SEE IF HE COMES RUNNING.

13

JOSHNO - DON’T DO THAT - JUST HAVE A HEART TO HEART TALK - IF YOU TWO DON’T SEE EYE TO EYE ON KEY ISSUES - WELL THEN YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO GET MARRIED.

KERILOOK I DON’T WANT TO LIVE WITH A GUY FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME AND THEN GET DUMPED.

WILLJOSH’S RIGHT KERI - SAM AND YOU REALLY NEED TO SETTLE IN AND DISCUSS ALL THESE ISSUES - IT’S WHAT THE CATHOLIC DIOCESE REQUIRES YOU TO DO, AND THEY WILL TELL YOU NOT TO MARRY IF YOU DON’T PASS OR RESOLVE DIFFERENCES AS A COUPLE.

KERILIKE ONE MEMBER WANTING 5 KIDS AND THE OTHER ZERO.

JOSHRIGHT - YOU’D BE SURPRISED AT HOW MANY COUPLES NEVER TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF.

WILLTHE GAL FROM NORTHERN AND MYSELF ACTUALLY WENT TO ONE SESSION - TESTING IT OUT - AND..........

KERITHERE WERE BIG DIFFERENCES - RIGHT ?

WILLACTUALLY NOT - THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS MY POTENTIAL MOTHER IN LAW - IF SHE DOESN’T LIKE YOU - WELL YOU WON’T GET MARRIED.

JOSHWHAT ABOUT THE CUTE GALS ON THE L THAT WORKS FOR THE AIRLINES ?

WILLWE JUST DIDN’T HIT IT OFF. SHE WAS REALLY QUIET AND SECRETIVE - I JUST THOUGHT THAT MEANT SHE DIDN’T LIKE ME... SO I NEVER CALLED HER BACK. I’M FREE LIKE YOU JOSH.

KERINO JOSH HAS...LET ME SEE...........MELANIE.

JOSHNO - WE’RE JUST GOOD FRIENDS - IF YOU WERE A GUY KERI YOU’D ACTUALLY LIKE MELANIE.

KERINO I WOULD NEVER LIKE THAT SNOBBY YOU KNOW WHAT. I’LL ADMIT SHE IS GOOD LOOKING, CUTE, AND NOT DULL - BUT SHE REALLY GRINDS ME WRONG.

14

WILLGUYS LOOK AT GIRLS DIFFERENT THAN GIRLS LOOKING AT THEM KERI - MUCH DIFFERENT.

KERIGUYS SHOULD FIND AS GIRLS GO THAT MELANIE IS TOTALLY INTOLERABLE - DESPICABLE.

JOSHWELL MELANIE HAS THIS AURA OF ATTRACTIVENESS ABOUT HER THAT....

KERIPLEASE JOSH - GIVE ME A BREAK - THAT IS SICK.

WILLWE COULD COMPARE IT TO ONE OF THE YOUNG SINGLE CUBS - LIKE.....

KERIJEFF SAMARDZIJA - THE BIGGEST HUNK ON THE CUBS.

WILLWHY DO YOU SAY THAT - HE HASN’T DONE MUCH.

KERILOOK GUYS SAMARDZIJA WAS AN ALL AMERICAN FOOTBALL PLAYER AT NOTRE DAME DOWN THE ROAD, HE LED THE IRISH IN ALL TIME RECEPTIONS, PITCHED WELL FOR THEM, AND PLAYED WELL FOR SINGLE A DAYTONA AND DOUBLE A TENNESSEE LAST YEAR.

JOSHOH YES - HE WAS ON RYNO’S TEAM IN 2006 DOWN IN PEORIA - THE SINGLE A CHIEFS AND PLAYED FOR THE IOWA CUBS LAST SEASON SOME - IN FACT VERY WELL.

WILLSOUNDS LIKE HE’S BEEN EVERYWHERE WITH THE CUBS EXCEPT BOISE AND THE CARIBBEAN LEAGUE.

KERIALL I KNOW IS THAT HE’S SINGLE, ON THE ROSTER THIS YEAR, AND MOST GALS WOULD DROOL OVER THIS GUY.

WILLAGAIN KERI - WE’RE GUYS AND WE CAN’T IN THE LEAST TELL IF A GUY IS LIKE A 10.

JOSHYES KERI - THAT IS SUBJECTIVE STUFF - YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY A QB CHASING GAL.

KERII RESENT THAT !

15

WILLWELL IT’S TRUE KERI - FIRST THE ILLINI QUARTERBACK - NOW SAM - AND YOUR DREAMS ABOUT SAMARDZIJA.

KERISAMARDZIJI CAUGHT FOOTBALLS - DIDN’T THROW THEM. BESIDES THIS WILL BE HIS FIRST YEAR AT WRIGLEY - I’M CERTAIN HE’S NOT FULL OF MONEY - NOT YET ANYWAY. HE MUST PRODUCE.

WILLHE HASN’T EVEN BEEN IN ANY GAMES YET THIS YEAR. WE MAY NEVER KNOW HOW GOOD THIS GUY IS.

KERIHE MAY BE THE NEXT COMING OF KERRY WOOD - HE IS 6 - 5 AND ABOUT 225 - GOOD SIZE. AND CUTE LIKE WOOD.

JOSHMY GOD KERI - THE CUBS JUST WANT TO WIN - NOT HAVE A BEAUTY CONTEST.

KERIWELL GIRLS JUST DON’T STARE AT THE SCOREBOARD AT THE GAMES - THEY ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE GUYS IF THEY HAVE GOOD SEATS.

JOSHALL I KNOW ABOUT SAMARDZIJI IS THAT HIS STOCK WENT DOWN BECAUSE HE PLAYED FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL FOR NOTRE DAME.

WILLJOHN ELWAY PLAYED EVERYTHING AND SOME FELT SO SO AT ALL SPORTS. LOOK WHERE HE ENDED UP - ONLY 2 SUPER BOWL WINS.

JOSHI THINK IT’S BECAUSE YOU REALLY DON’T KNOW THESE GUYS - FROM A SCOUT’S PERSPECTIVE - IT’S A GUT FEELING.

KERIYES - GUYS FROM LITTLE TINY SCHOOLS AND TEAMS MAY END UP BEING THE BEST EVER IF GIVEN THE CHANCE - LIKE JERRY RICE OR DENNIS RODMAN - SMALL SCHOOL GUYS.

JOSHYES I AGREE THOUGH SAMARDZIJI’S STOCK WENT DOWN - HE IS STILL A HECK OF AN ATHLETE - AND THIS IS WHAT THE CUBS WILL NEED DOWN THE STRETCH.

WILLSAM THINKS THE CUBS REAL CHANCES LIE WITH PITCHING - BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BATS NOW. GUYS LIKE REED JOHNSON COMING OFF THE BENCH AND POUNDING THE BALL.

16

JOSHYES - LOU HAS TAKEN CARE OF THE HITTING. IT’S A LITTLE FIELDING BLUNDERS AND MAYBE SOME BULLPEN WOES HERE AND THERE. OUR STARTERS HAVE BEEN SOLID FROM Z ON DOWN.

KERIWE JUST CANNOT FALL APART IN THE PLAYOFFS LIKE LAST YEAR.

JOSHOUR DEFICIENCIES WERE REALLY EXPLOITED BY SAN DIEGO - AND THEY WEREN’T REALLY A VERY GOOD TEAM.

KERIALL CYLINDERS ARE ON GO FOR THE CUBS THIS YEAR. HEY JOSH THIS GAL WANTS A SUMMER SHANDY - DO YOU GUYS CARRY THIS STUFF AT WEAGHMAN’S PARK ?

JOSHWE’VE GOT A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING IN THE BACK DUE TO DEMAND - EVEN THE SEASONALS. SOON FOLKS WILL BE ASKING FOR OCTOBERFEST - THE FALL LEINENKUGEL BEER.

WILLBUT FOR NOW IT’S MAINLY THE ORIGINAL FORM CHIPPEWA FALLS - AND SOME HONEY AND BERRY WEISS. JUST ASK JOSH - THE EXPERT.

KERISO YOU NEED TO GET HER THE SUMMER SHANDY - LIKE REAL SOON - SHE LOOKS TROUBLED.

JOSHWE’RE ALL TROUBLED AT SOME TIME KERI - EVEN YOU.

KERII WILL RESOLVE ALL THIS STUFF WITH SAM - IT WILL GO ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

WILLI SURE HOPE SO, AS I DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOU IN THE SAME SITUATION A YEAR FROM NOW.

KERINO - SAM AND I WILL MOVE ON - ALL YOUNG DOCTORS THINK THEY WILL SAVE THE WORLD - AND MANY YOUNG ANESTHESIOLOGISTS ARE JUST FLAT OUT POMPOUS. IT TAKES A FEW HARD CASES AND MAYBE - LET’S HOPE NOT - BUT A LAWSUIT TO SETTLE SOME OF THEM DOWN I’VE HEARD.

WILLI DON’T SEE SAM AS POMPOUS - HE’S JUST CONFIDENT AND THAT IS WHAT THE SURGEON, NURSES, AND PATIENTS NEED. THEY DON’T WANT

17

A TREMBLING NUT BACK THERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. I KNOW THAT MUCH.

KERIYOU’RE RIGHT ON THAT. SAM IS CONFIDENT AND SOMEONE LIKE HIM IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT FOR AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST. JUST CONVINCE HIM THAT WE COULD USE HIM IN CHICAGO.

WILLI THINK SAM WILL COME AROUND AND TAKE A CONVENTIONAL JOB IN THE AREA - HE SHOULD JUST WORK PRN FOR DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS ON MISSION TRIPS - LOTS OF DOCS DO THIS ACCORDING TO THE TRIBUNE - YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A MOTHER TERESA 24/7.

JOSHSAM WILL COME THROUGH KERI - HE PROBABLY LIKES IT THAT YOU HANG WITH US AND LIKE SPORTS.

KERITHERE’RE TIMES I FEEL WE NEED TO GET OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE OF MELANIE - SHE’LL BE CHASING HIM INTO HIS 90S. SHE’S SUCH A ..........

JOSHSHE MAY JUST FOLLOW YOU TO THE NEXT TOWN. SO YOU CAN’T RUN FROM HER.

KERII KNOW ALL THAT - I GUESS WE ALL HAVE TO DEAL WITH STUFF - I STILL MAY SOMEDAY POISON HER.

WILLI WOULDN’T SAY THAT ABOUT MELANIE BECAUSE HECK SHE MAY BE POISONED SOME DAY - AND YOUR WORDS MAY BE USED AS EVIDENCE AGAINST YOU.

JOSHYES EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE HEARSAY - THESE WORDS OF INTENT ARE ADMISSIBLE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTIVE EVIDENCE OF THE INTENT TO POISON.

KERIOK GUYS I GET THE POINT - SHUT UP - I WAS ONLY HALF SERIOUS.

WILLWELL IF MELANIE IS WHAT SHE SAYS SHE IS - SHE PROBABLY RUBS SOME OTHER GALS THE WRONG WAY TOO.

JOSHKERI - I JUST FEEL THAT MELANIE AND YOU NEED TO BECOME FRIENDS - SHE’S NOT GOING AWAY AND YOU JUST NEED TO DEAL WITH HER. MAYBE SHE’LL END UP THE GAL WHO FINDS PRINCE CHARMING AND RUNS UP THE COAST TO WHITEFISH BAY.

18

WILLWELL IF SAM DOESN’T WORK OUT - KERI THERE IS ALWAYS SAMARDZIJI.

KERII’M SURE HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND - OR MAYBE EVEN MARRIED BY NOW. HE DOESN’T GET MUCH PRESS BECAUSE HE ISN’T IN THERE YET.

JOSHBUT HE WILL BE - THE CUBS WILL NEED HIM DOWN THE STRETCH BECAUSE SOME ARMS STATISTICALLY WILL WEAR DOWN AND WE NEED MORE FRESH ARMS FOR THE PLAYOFFS.

WILLYES - SAMARDZIJI WILL OVERPOWER SOME BATTERS LIKE WOOD - HIS SIZE IS IMPRESSIVE. BIGGER THAN DEREK.

JOSHI FULLY AGREE - AND I’M GETTING MORE SUMMER SHANDY FOR THIS GAL. SHE NEEDS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION HOME OR A DESIGNATED DRIVER FROM HER GROUP.

WILLMOST FOLKS IN HERE DO THAT. I DON’T SEE MANY OVER IMBIBERS IN WEEGHMAN’S PARK LIKE - WELL SOME OTHER PLACES DOWN WAVELAND.

JOSHFOLKS COME IN HERE FOR THE WISCONSIN THEME, THE ZUERCHER CHEESE THAT ORIGINATED IN GREEN COUNTY WISCONSIN, THE CHIPPEWA FALLS BEER, AND JUST A DIFFERENT PLACE TO GO AROUND WRIGLEY. IT WORKS.

WILLTHAT GUY IN THE BACK WITH THE PLATTEVILLE JACKET ON WANTS AN ORIGINAL JOSH.

JOSHGREAT - COMING UP. OH MY GOD - HERE COMES SAM - AND MELANIE A FEW FEET BEHIND HIM.

End - EipsodE Xii, Clark & addison
