    Bookmarker's Notes

    And we say, fuck, my arm feels like rubber.

    And we say, didn’t there used to be more stars out here?

    And we say, you look good, man, healthy.

    Could stick some sick little pun here about velo and command, but I won't. Really, really pure stuff, pure like uncut, straight up. It's been 20 years since candle_beck wrote the A's like it's been 60 since Roger Angell wrote the Mets and certainly there are people out there right now writing the same feeling somewhere, or variations on the feeling, or the almost cosmic infinity of iterations that all the variations together make up, the constellations of data and the hallucinatory truth of grass-dirt-leather, the numinous constant of variations, and it's still all true, it happened and it's happening right now and it's going to keep happening forever. That's baseball, baby. we’re relearning all the stuff we know by heart.

    Summary

    Lambert is really bad at managing his life. He's got a shitty studio apartment, a job that might get him stabbed, and no car.

    He meets Aiden after a contract goes wrong. This does not make things easier. Not by a long shot.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    When Aiden finally pulls away, he rests his forehead on Lambert’s shoulder and laughs, pushing his nose against Lambert’s clavicle. “I’m glad you came around,” he admits, “I had it bad, bad, bad.” Vivid and lovely and immersive. A spot-on Lambert and a wonderful Aiden.
