The Bullpen: New League Season 1 Episode 7: Elena’s Special Someone

ELENA, MARISSA, KATIE, TRISH, KRISTIN, CAROLYN, and VAL are sitting in the Bridgeport Zebras' bullpen. It is the fifth inning.

KATIE

Hey Elena, whatever happened to that "special someone" you said was coming today?


ELENA

He's coming. He'll be here any inning now.


CAROLYN

Well I'm sure he's lovely whoever he is.


ELENA

Huh? 


CAROLYN

Your boyfriend.


ELENA

What boyfriend?


Nobody answers.


ELENA

Anyone?


MARISSA

You said a special someone was coming to visit our bullpen today. Your words, coach, not ours.


ELENA

Oh. No. I was being sarcastic.


VAL

So why don't you just break up with him then if you don't like him?


TRISH

Yeah coach, it's not that complicated.


ELENA

I DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND!!!!


MAN IN THE CROWD

I'LL BE YOUR BOYFRIEND!


His friends start laughing and high fiving him.


TRISH

I can take care of that for you if you want, coach.


Suddenly, VAL takes a pack of bubble gum and throws it right at the man's face.


ELENA 

Thanks for the offer, but Val's already on it.


Right then, a man enters the bullpen.


ELENA

I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!! NOW GET OUT!


SECURITY comes over and escorts the man out of the bullpen.


MAN IN THE CROWD

NICE TRY BUT I'M STILL HERE!


ELENA looks confused.


KRISTIN

Why did security escort him back to his seat? Totally inappropriate.


TRISH

You girls wouldn't let me take care of it. This is what happens!


CAROLYN

How do I say this politely?


MELISSA

Just say it.


CAROLYN

Well...you don't think maybe that was a different person?


VAL

Ooooh Elena's got all the guys after her today.


MAN IN THE CROWD

CAN I BE YOUR SPECIAL SOMEONE?


He and the guys around him start laughing again.


ELENA

That was the so-called special someone who I just kicked out, wasn't it?


TRISH

How do you even do that, don't you know what he looks like?


ELENA

It all happened so fast!


CAROLYN

I'm sure you can reschedule.


VAL

Who was it, anyway?


ELENA

Oh, nobody.


MELISSA

So it WAS your boyfriend!


ELENA

More like the station manager at RSN Bridgeport.


Everyone looks at Elena blankly.


ELENA

The TV station that airs our games?


VAL

Ohhhhhhh.


ELENA

Yeah.


TRISH breaks out laughing.


TRISH

Wow, I would NOT want to be you right now, Elena!
