Sunday noon at the Barleymoe
Elijah: You guys are in early, I'm impressed.
Jack : You changed your clothes Elijah, did you leave.
Elijah: Hell no, I never leave the Barley. My cleaners delivers my clothes here. I have an arrangement.
Johnny: Elijah, you got to get out or the next place you going to is a hospital.
Elijah: That is not going to happen. I want to know why last night ended so quickly. We were doing good until the waitress came by and wanted to know which one of you guys were going to give her a ride home. What was that about.
Jim: We don't even know her name. What is her name Elijah?
Elijah: Her name, how should I know. She seems to answer to whatever name she is called. I've heard her called Carol, Candace, Candy, and Cherise. My guess is that as long as you call her a name that starts with C, she will take real good care of you.
Johnny: Oh my god Elijah you need to get out of here occasionnally.
Jack: We aren't getting much done here.
Jim: I like a couple of guys on the Beaneaters. They have a centerfielder Cliff Lee.
Jack: He doesn't hit right-handers. He will not be rookie of the year lets move on. Who is the other guy, Jim?
Jim: The other guy is a second baseman Phil Searle.
Johnny: That was the guy selected with the first pick in the season 43 draft.
Jack: That guy has averages 46 homers over four minor league seasons.
Elijah: He sounds good, who wants another drink.
Jim: Elijah, it not 12:30 yet.
Jack: I saw a guy in Austin in spring training. Juan Sardinas, very promising.
Jim: He's just another sinker, slider guy. You love those guys but they are never the cream of the crop.
Johnny: Rich Winn in Cleveland is a pretty good prospect.
Jim: He's great when he's healthy. But he doesn't stay healthy. Nobody hits cleanup on the disabled list.
Elijah: Why haven't any of you smart guys mentioned Ivan Tomas of Helena.
Jack: How do know about him? You don't scout you just sit here and drink.
Elijah: I scout. They have cable here. I think he was even drafted. You guys know that stuff, was he?
Johnny: Yes the same draft as Searle. So Elijah, what can you tell us about him.
Elijah: He looked good on the tube and the waitress said he was cute. She is better predicting players than me; so I thought I throw that out.
Jim: So guys who wins rookie of the year? I like Phil Searle.
Jack: I like Albert Perez
Johnny: It's got to be Russell Durbin.
Elijah: The Tarot Cards say ......
Jim: Did he just pass out. It's not 1 PM yet.
Johnny: I'll see you guys next Saturday. Maybe he will tell us what his cards said.
Jack: Yea, next week.
