Crystal Mess
by digby
Oh my dear, dear God:
The team became crystallized in your mind, coated with shimmering emotional crystals that give it a sparkling beauty and vividness. And forever after you feel its attraction. Whether it’s off the menu or in the sports world, you can choose what you’ll purchase but you don’t get to choose what you like.
Yes, those are the literary stylings of David Brooks in this morning’s New York Times, waxing all lovey-dovey about baseball like he was Bill Kristol on a cheap cruise to Ensenada with Sarah Palin.
Don’t bother to read it. Read Charlie Pierce’s fisking instead. Charlie knows a thing or two about sports writing. Let’s just say his take down isn’t pretty.
