Zito scratches his head, remembering a moment too late that his fingers are still kind of gross from the chips. He sighs inwardly. Today sucks.

*cannot stop laughing*

Oh, Beck. Beck, Beck, Beck. <3

ahahah, stupid stoned zito. is it okay that i'm dealing with the whole tragedy of the thing by diving headlong into the filth? i figure, gotta get it in while they're still in the same goddamn time zone.

You do the filth. I do the maudlin. I spent half an hour today researching White Sox players of the late 80s and 90s in order to figure out what jersey Mulder would have had on his eleven year old closet door.

Man. Now, whenever I suddenly go AUUGH PAIN PAIN OH GOD PAIN, my roommate knows not to come rushing out and see if I've, like, fallen out of my chair or something. She knows it's just me seeing an article on ESPN titled "BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO" with pictures of Mulder and Hudson next to each other or something equally PAIN PAIN PAIN.

oh man. the sox in the 80s. wasn't that the crazy unis with the white black adn red stripes adn the little post-modern guy with a bat? totally partial to it.

ps, guess who's going to see the arcade fire in philly in january! guess who should recommend to me their best songs for the downloading so that i won't be a total poser!

pps, billy beane is not steve schott's bitch, because first of all, ew, and second of all, billy could fry him with glare of doom in a microsecond, and third of all, ew some more, and beane's primary responsibility is NOT to keep steve schott happy, it's to win fucking ballgames.

sorry. that caption on the espn.com mlb homepage pissed me off.

Nothing really to say except that I loved it, as always. And man. My heart hurts.

Ahahaha, dude, beck, today is STILL sucking, but this fic is great. <3 What I would give for a chance to blaze with Zito and Mulder! A lot, my friend. A lot.

Mulder who is something solid like a wall that you can lean your weight against, and how Mulder has these moments of stillness, this unexpected sort of quiet in him when you catch him off-guard. His long arms and plain even features, the way a baseball looks small in his hand and his hand looks wrong without a baseball in it.

*cherishes this line forever*

It's a weird feeling, reading a fic about something that happened so recently, with all the little quotes and facts from news stories woven in.

I'm picturing Zito next Feb. 1 looking transformed in some way, maybe tougher, but still with that opposite-of-phony-or-jaded thing he has. And I can picture him denting a soda can, poking a little hole with a key, and smoking with it.

he's definitely down with mcgyver smoking, no doubt. and man. what if he shows up in phoenix all clean-cut and, like, grown-up. that will be a serious problem for me.
