Murray Chass is at it again!

While I wouldn't like for Ben's Baseball Bias to completely revolve around critiquing other people's articles, sometimes it's just too damn hard to stop, especially when Murray Chass is involved. In his latest blog entry article, Chass talks about next year's Hall of Fame class and what it means for good ole fan boy Jack Morris:

What about next year? Morris’ chances in 2013 could depend on the writers’ reaction to first-timers Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa and Mike Piazza. [...]Sosa and Piazza have never been convicted by testing or their own admission, but they may find it impossible to overcome the circumstantial evidence that has grown around them.

The only reason Mike Piazza may find it "impossible to overcome the circumstantial evidence that has ground around" him is because of guys like Murray Chass who have created a false sense of circumstantial evidence based solely on random accounts of back acne.

This same time last year, in January of 2011, Murray chass wrote two different blog entries articles stating that Piazza used steroids based off of back acne.

Attention, Mike Piazza fans and other cynics: A report in The New York Times on Saturday about the Barry Bonds perjury case said that prosecutors said that Bonds’ former girlfriend, Kimberly Bell, “would testify to seeing physical changes in Bonds that are indicative of steroid use, including acne on his back and shoulders…” 

If acne is good enough for Federal prosecutors, it’s good enough for me no matter how much Piazza and his supporters scream and whine at my mention of Piazza and the acne that covered his back until it miraculously disappeared when baseball began testing for steroids in 2003 and 2004. 

No one has accused Piazza of perjury, but he better be careful with what he says if he ever has to testify under oath.

Keep in mind that Murray Chass is not a doctor and has no basis to discern the cause of Mike Piazza's back acne. Also, it's safe to say it's juuuuuuuust a tad unfair to site "circumstantial evidence" that is completely based off of your own diagnosis and biases that Mike Piazza used steroids.

Jeff Bagwell is having a tougher time than he should getting into the Hall of Fame because of steroid suspicion without any cause. Unfortunately it's looking like Mike Piazza may have the same problem next year because of hacks like Murray Chass, blogger.

Explain to me again why Murray Chass still has a vote?
