August 27, 200916 yr Anybody else follow him on Twitter? Half of his updates have nothing to do with the Sox. I hate when this guy goes on one of his Tweeting binges. Sorry, I know this is off topic and has nothing to do with the Sox. Edited August 27, 200916 yr by jenks45monster
August 27, 200916 yr QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:42 PM) AGREED! I also hate Zach Zaidman 1.) zach zaidman covers the bears for the score and he is excellent and 2.) we are just now realizing how worthless cowley is?
August 27, 200916 yr Come on. People are doing the same thing with Cowley as they did with Hineybird. We all know that both suck, and they mostly say things to get attention, albeit negative. People complained and complained about Hineybird, and continued to read his stuff just to see what else he had to say to piss them off. Now they do it with Cowley. Just ignore him, and he won't bother you.
August 27, 200916 yr I've been following on Twitter and I agree, the guy is an a@@ clown. Not only is he Mr. Negative, but I am convinced he really really thinks he is funny......every damn thing he says has some lame attempt at being humerous. I have since stopped the Tweets

August 27, 200916 yr I can listen to Goff, Holmes, and Abatacola all day long, probably cause im 29 years old.....

August 27, 200916 yr Obviously I'm in the minority here but I like Cowley. I hate when beat reporters just trot out the company line and spin everything positive. He definitely doesn't do this, nor is he bland like, say, Gonzalez. I like him for many of the same reasons I liked Sam Smith (albeit in a slightly different capacity).

I've only ever listened to him on the score during my train ride however, don't have a twitter account and I don't read the paper that often.
August 27, 200916 yr Zaidman is the most informed beat reporter in town, bar none. My problem with him is his delivery is so forced "radio guy", and after I heard him do the Depaul games it annoyed me even more. I can listen to him because like I said, he is informed, but I completely understand why people do not like him.
August 27, 200916 yr Cowley is awesome. At least he is critical of the team as a beat writer. Mark gonzales is blah and boring. Never criticizes. Brings nothing to his articles or tweets except the obvious

Brings nothing to his articles or tweets except the obvious That's what makes him suck IMO, he will be critical but he will never be positive when good things happen, if he is it's always with some smart a@@ comment related.

August 27, 200916 yr Speaking of this twitter stuff......besides Cowley, and "Insidethesox" that other options are there to follow the Sox?
August 27, 200916 yr I used to really dislike Cowley but I guess I've been warming up to him. That's probably because we suck right now. If he's attempting to be funny while we're playing good baseball then he's annoying, but if he's ripping the team when the team needs to be ripped then I like him.
August 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 27, 2009 -> 02:33 PM) Cowley is one of the best baseball writers out there. Did he tell you that?
