Summary
Tim's whole life he's been told he doesn't have what it takes. He's not big enough, he's not strong enough, he's not talented enough. The world is finally starting to realize that all those opinions are wrong, that he's better than almost everyone in the world at what he does. It's Doc Halladay and Cliff Lee and him, pretty much, if you don't count Ian Kennedy, which Tim does not. And the only reason he's even breathing this rarified air, having this success, is because he takes whatever weak shit he has and spins it into gold. He plays the game in front of him.
And right now, the game is Chris Stewart.

A year later he'll reflect on all of this in mandated group therapy and he'll realize that's just how it was with them: they were two trains barreling at full speed towards a brick wall, except Kent cut his skates at the last second and Jack hit head on.

Summary
Twenty to thirty years. She had done the math in that courtroom and landed on thirty-seven and let herself exhale for the first time in years. She had been seventeen and wearing a blouse her mother had pressed the night before because her mother had needed something to do with her hands in the same way her Nanay was cooking all day, and she had sat in the second row and listened to the sentence and let the number settle over her like something solid. Like a foundation. Like something she could build on top of.
She was twenty-eight.
And he had been good.

Summary
One of them would go to the draft lottery winning Aces and one of them would go to the Leafs and they’d meet twice a year barring any injuries because God knows they wouldn’t be sent down to the minors. Sending Kent Parson or Jack Zimmermann down to the minors would be like sending your prize stallion out to the stables when everyone paid to see a fucking show. They’d insert feline hissing noises into the broadcast and caption it “Catfight,” they’d compare their game-day suits and judge who was hotter (not on like, Hockey Night in Canada, but on the dudebro hockey blogs that Kent pretends she doesn’t read). Kent would hate it, but accept it, because it would all mean being on the ice with Zimms again. She’d skate circles around Jack in the warm ups, bucket-less with her hair and chirps flowing and Jack? Jack would smile, helmet on, the picture of austerity save the glimmer of a smirk in her eyes.
They’d had limited edition Barbies made, for fuck’s sake. Kent’s got one in a box on her mantle. The doll has its own hockey stick but the skates are high heeled. You win some, you lose more.

Summary
Any initial awkwardness filtered away over a hundred miles of highway as Sam thumbed through the missing witch’s diary again. Some people had secret coke habits or secret second wives, and some people had passionate, pitch black, no-kissing sex with a family member every four to six months and never talked about it. You had to find ways to cope.

Bookmarker's Notes
"they don’t say anything for a while, birds starting up outside, the creeping sensation of the sun just under the curve of the horizon. zito thinks about the place munson and chavez have inside him, the better part of his history, what he means when he says home."
"but it's like they’re not even really running away anymore. beane doesn’t care where they go, and zito drives them in ever-widening circles, carves their names into a rock wall with his penknife. it doesn’t feel temporary at all, motel pools and new mexico in a windstorm, sitting on top of a little league bandstand watching a game, beane telling zito about something that happened fifteen years ago. it's like he can rewrite his whole life this way, watching zito snicker and pull his hand across his mouth."
"beane lays his fingers down carefully on the edge of zito's ribs. he thinks about wrigley field, thinks that they can’t possibly have made chicago this quick. they're so far out, no one chasing them, the leaves changing color, and beane can believe for a moment that the theft of baseball has been made bearable by the life he’s recovered here. it's an easy sacrifice, too-simple redemption.
beane falls asleep, his hand on zito's side. they stay like that for a very long time." -

Hockey analysts will make a rivalry out of anything. And if it’s not the analysts, then it’s the media. All they really had in common was they went to the same school and play the same sport.

Sid had found out right from the horse's mouth, although he scarcely needed to when barely anyone had played coy about it in months. The morning after the draft, Nate showed up with the sunrise on the beach, wired and bright-eyed despite having only slept four hours between the draft and the flight back up north.
