1. Pasta-diving Jeter (jmac66) Posted: April 24, 2014 at 01:43 PM (#4693260)I did run across a Chass fan a few years back. He was an older guy, FWIW. I forget if he was from our local SABR chapter or just a hanger on.

This is the article Chass was commenting on.
As I mentioned, both him and Chass incorrectly linked the article that Chass was talking about, so if your first exposure to this "fight" was the linked piece here, you might be a little perplexed to wonder what the heck Chass is talking about.
Agree. 'I found some areas where Murray Chass applied inconsistent logic!'. Here's your cookie.
Chass attacked him specifically. I don't think a response is unwarranted.
This is the JV-version of Nate Silver v. Paul Krugman.
'A wise man told me don't argue with fools. 'Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who'.
Bug, not a feature.
The version I heard was: "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it."
what a name - he's not in bbref
guess he must have written for 18th century rags/tabloids or something
by the way - that link in #11 - my computer blocked it saying it as not safe
Mine did too, but it's just because it's not https or something, it's still the NBC website.
So in conclusion, they're both wrong. Except for the parts they're right about.
Hey, if a bald old man is running straight at you, ya gotta throw him to the ground...
Always willing to throw ageism around anytime someone pulls their age out first. Murray Chass clearly did.
I'll debate with my facebook friends who pull the old fogey crap about the music being better in their day, or that they were the last generation to play outside or that their parents beat them so they learned respect or whatever it is that old farts like to pretend make their generation better than a current or younger generation. Any time that someone pulls out how things were in the past, it's a almost always a signal for them to be struck down dead right then and there.
More like preschool version.
You just know Old Man MMA is going to be a thing, so why can't Murray Chass be the first knocked victim?
Please God, you know I haven't asked you for anything since that hooker (and shortly thereafter about that possible herpes thing), please make it so...
Except for the occasional part that was okay, like Chaucer and Shakespeare and Ludwig van. But, pretty much everything else? Good riddance.
Ah, repoz. The Original Douche Troll. Still kicking. BTF would be nothing without his #### postings.
Yeah, but the Atlantic Ocean was really something BITD. You don't have any idea what you missed.
There are good, old baseball writers, like Hal McCoy.
People aren't complaining about Chass because he's old. They're complaining about him because he's bad, and speculating as to the cause of that badness - of which, unfortunately, age is one possibility.
Plus, we all freaking love Harveys. (I know, that's kind of like the "black friend" argument.. Hi Lisa!) But really, Chass isn't an age thing. It's because he's a closed-minded jerk. There are plenty of all ages that fall into that same category.
