Guys, we just realized that this whole thing is called gaysball.
On a related note, I've come into possession of a photo BW sent to a friend of a friend of a friend, probably in an effort to get her to sleep with him. I feel sort of bad spreading it around the internet, though it is already on there if you know where to look. Discuss.
Thank you for another chapter!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to San Francisco since the 70's so I had to Google the Folsom Street Fair - wow! Portland, Maine is just a tiny bit more tame. I can see Zito getting ready to let himself come out and not have to put up any deceptions. Tim, too is wide-eyed and curious about lifestyles he has only begun to experience. When Buster was told by Zito that Tim and Buster had no happiness in their futures, Buster's fears took over and now Tim has to even convine him that they had an agreement to the end of the season. If Tim wants, needs and loves Buster so much, and Buster equally if not more in return, why do they let the doubts or hard times get in the way of their careers? Room together on the road guys, try to talk about your fears, hopes, and dreams and visit every day at home, cheer for each other during the game and hold down distractions afterward like Zito's meddling. Buster and Tim spark the energy in the whole team; Bochy knows it and he may be more perceptive than anyone knows about why.
Does Zito interfere because of the crush Zito has on Tim, or because of some quixotic crusade to save them from romantic disaster? I just don't see it as altruistic. Repeated references to Kristen stab at Buster's gut, but I suspect in some way she already knows and she just might understand knowing it gives the Buster she loves additional joy that she can't.
I stay confident in the power of love. When I was a kid, I heard of King Edward 8th of England who gave up the throne to marry the woman he loved. I didn't get it at a young age but in later life I understood perfectly. My parents always told me to follow my heart, and so accepting myself as gay was never a struggle.
Please keep writing - I look every day for more, and again my deepest thanks for sharing Buster and Tim with us.
keep going, nice post
