When you first start dating someone, or
kind of dating someone, communication is

key. But just like in baseball where
every play depends on clear signals, one

missed sign...

He talks to the game. So then Chuckles
here decides he's going to ride the

Oh, no. You know, I had it. You were
drinking rum again.

Yeah. So what happened? So he gets up
there, right? Uh -huh. And he doesn't

know, but we have the guy put it on the
fastest setting. No. Yep, four seconds.

That's how long you have. It was like 20
seconds. No, no, we timed it. Then a

little girl got on and rode for 10.

She had really no business being there.

Hey,

Bobby.

I bought you this in Houston.

Oh, Biggio, huh? Yeah.

For your collection.

Oh, wow.

That's nice.

That's nice, huh?

It is.

It's really nice.

It's nice. Nice, nice, nice. Go on, you
guys.

He's a new guy. He doesn't know he's not
supposed to be nice around here.

He'll learn.

All right, you drunks. Let's go do our
jobs, huh? Ask some players some more

crap.

Thanks again, man.

Yeah, no problem, man.

You're texting now, like the kids.

Yeah, Meredith discovered she can text
me any time, and I can't use the excuse

can't talk.

What is ROTFL?

It's rolling on the floor laughing.

I highly doubt that.

Hey, Kenny, I ran into that girl Kate at
the Waco Brothers show the other night.

Yeah? Dude, she is super cool. Whatever
happened with that?

Uh, we had coffee a couple of times.

She's cool.

Cool? Well, listen, if you're not going
to ask her out, then I am definitely

going to ask her out. Wow.

Uh, you want to just finish my beer for
me, too?

Well, I mean, if you're still
interested, I won't, but I figured since

a few months that... Yeah, what?

Yeah, you know, I actually, I, uh, I
mean, I might ask her out.

Seriously? I'm thinking about it. You
should wait longer until maybe she has a

husband and a couple kids. See how that
works out.

What are you doing?

All right, I get it. Are you guys, is
Bobby coming?

I don't know. He said he'd be here.
Yeah, yeah.

Hey, guys.

Brand new!

Sorry I'm late.

Kenny. Do you still have that guy
downtown?

That suit guy?

Ducky Gills.

Yeah.

Ducky Gills. Seriously, where do your
friends get their names? Jail.

Fine, fine, yeah.

You need a suit?

Yeah, yeah, I do, actually. Nice one and
cheap. I got this wedding to go to this

weekend. Wait, Nicole and Jason's?
You're still going to that? Yeah, Wendy

don't want to screw up their, you know,
wedding bliss or whatever, so we're not

telling everybody that we're broken up.
You're going to that together?

It's going to be fine. Yeah, yeah, you
should invite your other old ex

-girlfriends. That would make it better.
You should film it too, Andy.

Yeah, yeah. You guys are being
ridiculous, right? It's one night.

So I guess we should just deal Bobby in,
huh?

If he's not here by now, he's probably
not coming. Sometimes you get a signal

and you have absolutely no idea what it
means, leaving you to wonder, am I

missing a page from the playbook?

So, Bobby didn't show up for poker.

Or call, which is weird.

Well, from the way you tell it, it
sounds like you were kind of driving the

weird bus. No, but I didn't mean to blow
him off. I didn't know what to do.

You don't understand what it's like,
okay? I'm the only woman. I can't have a

personal life at work, you know? They
would rip me to shreds. I've finally

gotten to a place where they've finally
forgotten that I'm a woman.

You have such strange goals. I know, but
I would like to keep it that way.

Okay. Well, you like him, right?

I do.

So just explain all of that to him.

I'm sure he'll understand.

Okay, I'll try to find the right time at
work tonight.

Paige, you can't just call him. I can't
call him. I don't even know if he's

still interested.

You know, that ball thing could have
been him just being nice. You know, it

could have been just a gesture, a way to
say, you know, I'm sorry that I totally

humiliated you when I freaked out and
left your apartment the other night.

I don't think that there's a gesture for
that.

Thank you.

So you think I was too aggressive?

No.

Well, yes, but I'm sure once you explain
everything, it'll unhurt his feelings.

Unhurt? Unhurt, really?

I'm not right. Ever since I broke up
with Adam, I'm not sleeping.

I'm sorry. What, did you just toss and
turn?

No. I have been on Match .com a lot.

Doing what?

Online dating. It's fantastic.

There's so much out there for sale.
Imagine eBay times 100.

And I have my eye on this pair of
doctors that I think will look really

me.

Because so much of baseball relies on
signs and signals, sometimes it's best

get together and make sure everybody is
on the same page.

Hey.

Hey. We missed you at poker the other
night. Yeah, sorry. I, uh, I just, you

know, I got caught up with some stuff,
so. I just want to say I'm sorry about

the other day. I just, I...

I really appreciate that, Paul.

Wow. Good.

I'm glad.

Great. And, like, I know with what
happened between us, well, I just, I

want things to be awkward. You know what
I mean? I mean, I know we have to work

together, and I just think we should
keep things, you know, kind of just,

you know, professional.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I do.

There they are. Hey, guys. What's up?
Did you think if you guys watched the

game, I was down at Al's Beef grabbing a
combo? In your dreams. That guy's

constantly thinking about food. Yeah.

So, you guys want to grab a bite to eat
over at the Billy Goat? You can, uh, I

don't know, bring your girlfriend?

That's a good one, Charlie.

Girlfriend. Uh, yeah, sure, cool. Yeah,
oh, you know what, I actually, I can, I

gotta finish up here, but, um, you know
what I like about Billy Goat is that,

you know, well, you know how it's below
street level? Yeah. That means it's

underground. You can have a lot of fun
there, but it's kind of a secret, you

know? If you didn't know it was there,
you'd never really find out about it,

know? Really?

Yeah. But that place is a landmark.
Yeah. Gus.

Bottom line.

Great burgers. Yeah. Yeah. Their burgers
are great, but...

You know, if you talk about them,
everybody will know about them,

people from work, you know, and that's
not good.

Yeah. Everyone already knows about their
hamburgers. Well, well. What they don't

know about the grilled cheese. You said
it. Let's go. I'm happy.

All right. I guess I will see you around
then.

Yeah. I mean, you're clear on the
burgers, right?

Yes. Yes.

I will totally try them.

Thank you.

Sometimes you need to change signals on
the fly, but if you're clever enough...

You can get your point across just fine.

In the middle of a ball game, sometimes
players ignore their coach's signals and

make major decisions on their own. And
quite often, those players wind up

looking ridiculous.

Here's the address for Ducky.

Where is this?

South side. When you get there, just
park right in front and knock three

Just three times.

Oh, what if I knock four times, Kenny? I
don't know, but don't.

All right, you know what?

I'm just going to go to the soup barn,
which is literally in a barn. It's going

to be fine.

Yeah?

All right, well, if I'm not back by 10,
call the cops.

I wouldn't do that.

Hey, Kenny, that girl Kate's over by the
shuffleboard table.

Yeah?

Yeah, so go over and ask her out.

I'm in a minute. I'm working on it. No,
you're not, man. You're playing Jenga

for the 100 millionth time.

Oh, Jenga, you lose.

Now, come on, man. Go do this.

I'm going.

Not all signals are nonverbal. In
baseball, outfielders call out who's

field a fly ball with the words, I've
got it.

So no one runs into each other and gets
hurt.

He's killing me.

Give him a break.

No, I won't. The guy has coffee with
every girl in Chicago so that nobody

can go out with him. But then he doesn't
even go out with them.

Right, but if he asks them out for
coffee, it's innocent, right? He can't

rejected because he's not officially
asking them out.

That was my move in, like, seventh
grade.

Yeah, okay, but here's where you come
in. If you ask them out, right, and they

say yes, then indirectly they're
rejecting him, huh?

But he's not going out with them.

No, I mean, you're right. That girl
deserves more than a coffee. Definitely

drink, you know, maybe even like a whole
dinner.

Absolutely a dinner.

But a girl like that, I might even pack
a picnic.

No, you wouldn't.

Picnic? No, I wouldn't even know where
to... Oh,

hey, there's Bobby.

Oh, Bobby's here.

What is he doing?

I mean, why didn't he come over here?

He didn't see us. And from the looks of
it, he's on a date.

Man, she is smoking hot.

Bet she's a dancer. She looks like a
dancer, doesn't she? What? Why?

The calves.

She's got dancer calves.

How do you know she's got dancer calves?
She's wearing pants.

I know they're there.

You can't hide calves like that. Hey,
they're going over to the couple couch.

How can he do that?

You see, hey, now that's how you make
things happen. Kudos, Robert, huh?

There are also signals you have to pay
attention to on the field.

For example...

If you're going for a ball and you don't
see the warning track, chances are

you're going to run right into a brick
wall.

Hey, you guys. Hey, go there.

Who's the cutie?

Oh, that's Claire.

Man, she is scrumdilly -ish. I know,
right?

Where do I know her from? You met her at
the block party. She lives in my

building.

Oh, how long have you been seeing her?

Um, you know, we've been, like, off and
on. We were off, and now we're, you

know... On?

Yeah, I guess so.

Well, at least I don't have to meet her.

You guys want to meet her? Yeah.

Claire.

So, this is Penny.

Hi. That's Mike.

Hey, nice to meet you. And this is PJ.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Hi. You know, I think I met you once
before at your block party.

Oh, right.

You came to my yoga class.

One.

That was hard.

My body doesn't do that without booze.

You take yoga?

Actually, I teach at the Center for
Inner Peace.

Of course you do. There's actually a
dancer.

Well, yeah, but it's hard to pay the
bills dancing, so.

Not if you're stripping.

All right. Well, we'll see you guys in a
little bit then.

Namaste. Well, at least the girl Bobby
likes isn't perfect in every way.

Oh, wait.

Actually, she is.

In baseball, a tug on the ear could mean
hit and run, a swipe of the arm steals

second base, but you always got to be
careful because sometimes a scratch on

nose is just a scratch on the nose.

Maybe Bobby's actually just psychotic. I
mean, how could he just pretend that

nothing happened? I mean, he didn't even
act guilty.

It doesn't make any sense. Which is why
I then go to, he's just not that

interested. But he made out with you.

And he brought you a present.

Bringing someone, like, a baseball, you
know?

It's not romantic.

No. Steph.

She was one of those women with, like,
really little risk.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, no, no, seriously.

You are a caring and intelligent and
well -educated woman.

Okay, why don't you just say I'm ugly?

Come on, you know you are.

Gorgeous. Oh, God. See, now you have to
say that.

Wow.

Oh, my God.

You look fantastic.

Yeah. Ducky gills after dark.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

This is going to be a very bad idea.

Oh, look, don't you start on me now,
too, all right? I get enough from her.

look too good, and there's an ex
-girlfriend involved and a wedding.

Wendy is going to take one look at you
in that suit and either hate you for

breaking up with her or want you back,
and either way, it's going to be bad.

Bad? Bad.

You guys are being ridiculous, all
right? Look, we're going to go to the

wedding, we're going to eat our dried
-out chicken, we're going to dance to

celebration, and when the open bar turns
to cash bar, go our separate ways.

Oh, so the, uh, the tie works? Because I
wasn't sure if I should go, you know,

bow or not. Oh, my God, you love that
you look that good.

You're hoping to rub it in. No, no, no,
no, no, no.

Think it'll work?

Oh, Brent, is it at all possible that
you're okay with this pretending thing

because you get to pretend you're still
together?

No, I'm glad we're broken up. Well, how
broken up can you be if you are going

out with her tonight?

Okay. All right, you know what? No, I'm
not going to do this, because it's two

against one, and I don't have a chance,
so I'm out of here, all right? Good

night, ladies.

I will see you later.

All right, well, I'm going to go, too.

Yeah? Oh, yeah, of course.

Punker's starting, and no. Yeah. And I'm
going to go to bed early, so...

No, you're not. You're going to Match
.com. I have to see if Kevin from

Milwaukee emailed me back.

Uh, you're going all the way out to
Milwaukee.

Oh, he's cool. His house has a lake
view.

Steph, everyone in Milwaukee has a lake
view.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, and hey, with the Bobby thing, just
don't let it make you crazy, okay?

Yeah. I mean, you made out one night,
so, you know, play it cool.

And you know what? I'm not working the
next few days, so I don't have to see

him. All right, honey. All right. Bye.
Bye.

We brought chips.

Hey, I ordered some pizza.

Pizza. I got nothing.

Nothing. I picked up some beer.

How's it going?

Fine. Yeah?

Yeah, I'm awesome. Things are great, you
know?

Couldn't be better.

Fine.

Good.

So, Claire seems nice.

Okay, so, what the hell? Were you
already, like, dating her when you came

here the other night? Or was it after
our talk? that you decided to start

seriously seeing someone?

Or was it like... Oh, okay, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait. What I am just

curious.

Okay, well, first of all, I had gone out
with her a few times before I even met

you. Well, that's fine.

And secondly, I gave you a present, and
you immediately gave me the cold

shoulder. Yeah, but we cleared all that
up. You said you understood. When? When

did we clear all that up? In the locker
room after the game. We talked about

hamburgers. Yeah, that's because the
other guys were there.

They already knew about the hamburgers.
No, it wasn't about the hamburgers. It

was about us and you said that we were
clear on it. Okay, I thought I was clear

on the hamburgers. I mean, I got a
little lost around the grilled cheese

but I definitely don't know what we're
talking about now.

Well, I was trying to tell you that we
should just keep things between, you

know, just between us. By telling me
that the fun thing about the billy goat

that it's underground?

PJ, that's a tough one. My point wasn't
that I'm not interested.

I just didn't want people at work to
know.

Including me, apparently.

Okay, well, I thought that you weren't
interested when you said keep it

professional. Why didn't you just say
what you meant?

Well, it's like we're in battle, and
we're behind the enemy lines, and

spies everywhere.

Okay, PJ, PJ, no. No more metaphors,
okay? I'm saying...

I can't read minds, okay?

So when you act like you barely know me
in front of the guys, and then you say

that you don't want it to be awkward,
what am I supposed to think?

And, my God, why is it that every time I
talk to you, I feel like a chick?

Look, Kenny, I think you should know I'm
going out with Kate this Friday night.

Okay. Really?

Yeah, man, well, you didn't ask her out
the other night at Crowley's, and you

had coffee with her once, like, two
months ago. Well, maybe I work at a

pace than you do.

You work so slow, she thinks your name
is Jerry.

You're making that up. No, I'm not, Jer.

Kenny, the statute of limitations on
Kate is up. What, you got this guy

for you now?

He's my attorney.

You can't keep my client from asking out
a girl you have not been nor are

currently pursuing. But I have pursued
her.

Having coffee with a girl does not
constitute an actual date, Jer.

Yeah, and having coffee with a girl a
second time is really just a way of

saying, I'm a wuss. And her way of
saying, we're just going to be friends,

How would you know? You've been married
for like a hundred years. Which is why

I'm able to sit high on my marital perch
and look down, unsullied, and rule on

all I see.

Who are you?

I'm Batman.

So maybe I could have been a little more
clear about things, huh?

Maybe.

And, look, I'm sorry about our whole,
you know, mix -up, but Claire and I have

gone out a few times now, and, I mean,
she's cool.

So she's cool, huh?

Yeah, we're sort of dating now.

That's awesome.

You and me are just, you know, we're
weird and confusing and...

I don't know. I've been dancing around
this whole Claire thing for a while now,

and I kind of feel like I need to give
it a shot.

Right.

It's ironic because she's a dancer.

You're dancing around.

Thank you for laughing politely.

I'm a huge dork.

Hey, are we going to play poker tonight
or what?

Kenny, I am trying to help you, okay?
Just consider this a coffee

What is wrong with taking a girl out for
a cup of coffee?

Dude, when you're trying to pick up a
girl, the last thing you want her to be

alert and focused.

Yeah, I'm not trying to make a dress out
of her. I'm trying to get to know her.

I'm not telling you to pick her up in a
van with no inside door handle, but it

doesn't hurt to get her a little
liquored up. Okay, Sounds for Lambs. You

your style, I got mine. PJ, back me up,
huh? Tell him he's getting nowhere with

the whole coffee thing.

Okay, well, I don't think you should
store her in a well, but I do think

A woman wants a guy who's willing to put
himself out there. I mean, you're not

going to meet somebody by just playing
it safe.

Kenny, what are you waiting for? You
think some girl is just going to invite

to her apartment and jump you?

Line's up. Line's up.

Pick a buck. Here we go. Pick a buck.

You know, I have an idea for a great
movie. What's that? It would be you

eaten by a bear.

Hey.

Oh. Whoa.

What's up, drinky? Oh.

How was the wedding?

Oh.

Not good.

Nope.

Bad. What happened?

Oh, nightmare.

She caught the bouquet.

Uh -huh.

And slapped me across the face with it
during this fight we had.

What'd you fight about? She danced the
whole night with that pig, Chuck

He is a pig. It's a pig. So I hit him.
And you did?

No.

But I wanted to appear, and I won. I'm
sure.

Oh, man, I'm sorry.

I should listen to you. You're right.

You know why? Because broken up is
broken up.

And you can't pretend.

Well, maybe one of these days you'll
listen to me.

I doubt it.

Oh, how was poker?

Well, Bobby's seeing Claire now, so
that's like, you know, a thing.

Huh.

You know, it's okay. I brought it on
myself.

I can't stop acting like a moron in
front of him. Well, please. I mean, do

ever just think that maybe he's just not
ready for you?

That sounds like something my mother
would say to make me feel better.

No, I'm seriously, you know, like last
week, he totally freaks out on you. And

then he starts dating this very non
-threatening, shy girl.

You know, I mean, maybe you're just too
much for him. Maybe he's got to grow

into you a little bit. You know, I mean,
you're a force.

Okay, so what am I supposed to do? Be
left me?

No, God, are you kidding? You're the
best.

I'm a dorky boy compared to Claire. You
know, you're much more like a girl than

you let people realize.

Oh, yeah? Like how?

Well, I don't know a lot of guys that
would cry at those MasterCard

Yeah, but... What am I supposed to do? I
mean, it's so great the way the whole

family goes to the game and...

But you know it's his first game. You
can see it in his face.

Sometimes players can be so in sync,
it's like they don't need signs.

They just know what each other is
thinking instinctively.

And when you play with the same guys
long enough, you get so comfortable that

you really know their strengths and
weaknesses.

And it makes playing the game so much
easier.
