I'm not reading the sports section, I'm reading the BOOK REVIEWS.
Some tiny part of why I read the New York Times has go to be my dislike of the people who hate it. Enemy of my enemy and all that. It's like my mom finding common cause with Catholics on death penalty issues: Sensible and uncomfortable. Like, I dunno, wool pants. My problems with the paper are usually to do with the ideas and values behind the articles, but sometimes the writing sucks too.
Does anyone have any idea what this sentence* means?
* From a review of a book about a baseball player, yes, haters.

(That Rodriguez helped destroy his marriage by cavorting with strippers and Madonna long provided regularly cycled doses of front-page bulk and energy to a different kind of “oid.”)Is it a too-clever boast by Nicholas Dawidoff that he knows how to pronounce the word "schadenfreude?" Because otherwise, I'm lost. Either way I'm really annoyed.
