Part One | Part Two

( He feels like the entire season-at least the season spent off the mound and between his ears-has been building up to this moment, lying in wait for an opportunity like this. When Wainwright comes off the mound, the insatiable, desperate, clawing feeling starts to crawl its way up from his lower stomach, hot and hungry, not to be ignored. )

Part One

( The off-season had played hell to that moment, but sometimes, he could close his eyes and still taste what it was like, that split second. What it was like to be a World Champion. This was the final nail in the coffin. He's not a World Champion, he's a guy who put his whole life into his right arm and hoped and prayed that it worked out for him more times than it didn't. He's lucky his right arm got him this far, it's no wonder it decided to bow out when he felt like he needed it most. )

Rating: R

( The day after a start is always a day of extensive exorcism. Carpenter had often heard it said that bullpen pitchers, particularly closers, had to have short memories to survive, but Carpenter had been arguing for years that it applied to all pitchers. Five days, in his experience, was barely long enough to get the taste of an underwhelming start out of his mouth or the inflated ego of an overwhelming start out of his psyche. )

Written for a request by learnthemusic. It's not exactly everything I wanted it to be, but I'm tired of sitting on it.
