Antoine will badger, beg and lie to win a woman's affection, only to discover over and over that his hunger is not satiated by each new conquest. As a pal tells him this time, "All you care about is boy meets girl; from there...
...Tilt was indeed won, and with the kind of aggressive, crisp attack that hadn't been seen in almost a year. There were three crucial double plays in the field, restless offense against a team that hits for a living, but most importantly, the realization that victory isn't impossible if the ace hurler can't hand...
