But especially troubling was that the Yankees used to be the Pirates nemesis back then and vice versa. There was bad blood after and during the 1960 WS - which was one of the most amazing Series ever played. But I digress.<BR/><BR/>Murray becoming a Yankee jock strap would be like me joining forces with the NYT 30 years after my youth and suddenly becoming a Yankee fan (and Sox hater).Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1137512982701604582006-01-17T10:49:00.000-05:002006-01-17T10:49:00.000-05:00This is truly out of character for this gentleman,...This is truly out of character for this gentleman, who I call Ch(ass). I read him whenever his column is about baseball and he is a true Sox hater, so much so that some of his stuff goes beyond my belief system. So this was a breath of fresh air, if taken in context.Peter Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625257724065648318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1137452862809504522006-01-16T18:07:00.000-05:002006-01-16T18:07:00.000-05:00Wow, I missed that previous article.

It happened last year as well. But the second the season starts, he goes back to his old self, and stays that way for 9 months or so.Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528300608952663063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1137452110403508222006-01-16T17:55:00.000-05:002006-01-16T17:55:00.000-05:00That is pretty amazing and I had thought about pos...That is pretty amazing and I had thought about posting something about this article:<BR/><BR/>http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/11/sports/baseball/11chass.html<BR/><BR/>Where Chass was actually complimentary - especially after he had been taking shots at Boston all winter.<BR/><BR/>Maybe he is pissed at someone in the Yankee organization and figures the best way to piss them off is praising the Sox. Or maybe he is pissed that he broke the story that A-Rod is going to play for the USA,which then turned out to not necessarily be true.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.com
