Desipio Rooftop game

[PenPho]

A couple of months ago, I went out into public and saw Fork, who mentioned that the real baseball to watch will be in Geneva, Ill., home of the Kane County Cougars.  I was reminded of this today when I saw the Tribune article on Mark Johnson, new skipper of the Kane County Cougars.

This team should have Jorge Soler, Albert Almora, Dan Vogelbach, Javier Baez as well as something called Shawon Dunston Jr. (anything like thiis?)

We're talking 1986-1987 Pittsfield Cubs territory (Jamie Moyer back when he just got through puberty, Greg Maddux before he discovered golf, Darrin Jackson when he had two balls, Damon Berryhill back when people thought he was going to be good, Drew Hall back when we began to suspect he might suck but weren't sure, Rafael Palmeiro before they invented Viagra and before he discovered Winstrol, Mark Grace before he had an interlock device on his car, Lester Lancaster, Paul Noce before he became a superstar in late June 1987, Rich Amaral before he attained minor celebrity in Seattle, Doug Dascenzo before Ford Frick instituted a height requirement in baseball, Dickie Noles in a rehab appearance that didn't include Betty Ford, Jeff Pico before he became the NEXT BIG THING with the Cubs in 1988, Dwight Smith before he could afford bodyguards, Hector Villanueva before anyone in Chicago knew just how awesome an enormous poor defensive catcher who hit a lot of home runs was, Mike Harkey before he became the NEXT BIG THING with the Cubs in 1990, Phil Stephenson, Gary Varsho and the wonderfully named Rolando Roomes).

They ruled the Eastern League and were managed by none other than Jim Essian, who strangely demanded to be named "Skip Johnson." So the Cougars have their own Skip Johnson, and the potential of this ballclub has to rival that of the Pittsfield Cubs, with Vogelbach starring as Hector Villanueva.

Anyway, despite my proclamation that all is well on the North Side and that the Cubs should have no problem winning 73 games or so, why not have a group outing in Geneva? Just take North Avenue and keep driving until you see the lights in the distance on the left.

I thought Elfstrom was off of Roosevelt (IL-38) not North Ave (IL-64)?

It is, but taking 64 gives you a scenic route of the  North Side, Elmwood Park, Elmhurst, northern DuPage County, St. Charles etc.

But fine, Mike D. will drive everyone on his bike/rickshaw using Roosevelt Rd.

Plus, Johnnie's Beef is on 64.

There's also a Portillo's.

North Ave. has more Portillo's than Golf Rd.

Until now I hadn't before realized that there two Portillos on Golf fewer than 3 miles from one another (New Wilkie & Plum Grove).

This new PANKMaps update is really buggy.

Your dead, whore grandmother's really buggy.

There are plenty of options...

Labor day weekend, the Cougars play the Chiefs. Saturday night, former Cubs farmhand Jesse White sends his tumblers. Sunday night, Nancy Faust plays her organ in public.

Most weekend games are against a bunch of common SKOs from Iowa.

So they won't know what to do with a bunch of highfalutin' beltwearin' city slickers like us.
