December 9, 201015 yr Author Sorry, but it seems to me that the other guys covering the Sox treat it like it's a damn death sentence, are generally ticked off about it (they could be on the Cubs beat), and don't bust their tail to report anything.

December 9, 201015 yr lol ummm..... cowley has been all over everything this offseason...NOT i see this thread going sour quickly haha Edited December 9, 201015 yr by beckham15
December 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 08:11 PM) Cowley's a heiniebird. He's Mariottis understudy, what do you expect?
December 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 07:50 PM) He was all over the Konerko story proving again nobody in the media has better Sox sources than he does. Yesterday Cowley was all over the radio & Twitter saying that there was no way Konerko signs with the Sox, that ship had sailed, time for Plan B.
December 9, 201015 yr I was certain this was a sarcastic thread. Cowley was reporting the same thing everyone else was, which as it turned out may have been inaccurate. We'll never know exactly what went on behind the closed doors and neither will Cowley.
December 9, 201015 yr I find cowley entertaining as hell but let's give props to the real basbeall beat guys. Rosenthal and Heyman are on alot of things and pretty damn good at speculating too.

Dude, he only gets stories when he is being used for negotiations. Today B&B tried to follow up with PK about what Cowley reported yesterday and he really didn't know what they were talking about. And he didn't break the signing today. In fact, Mulley and Hanley were saying the deal was done at the end of their show.
December 9, 201015 yr If you're reading his work, commenting on him and clicking his page, then he is not only doing his job but succeeding at it. There's some kind of misconception that his "job" is to correctly predict every FA transaction. Edited December 9, 201015 yr by Princess Dye
December 9, 201015 yr This thread has to be a joke. Like, a thread titled "let's give props to Kotsay for his 2010 performance" level joke. Cowley has been the least accurate, most all over the board guy we've seen quoted in all of this.
December 9, 201015 yr Author He was the only one I saw report that the Chairman had joined the negotiations last night.

December 9, 201015 yr in general, the chicago baseball reporters are sub-par when it comes to generating scoops and breaking news.
December 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 07:50 PM) He was all over the Konerko story proving again nobody in the media has better Sox sources than he does. Hey whats up Joe, remember when AJ threw you out trying to steal, like, 10 times in a row? That was awesome.

Unless you are buying the Sun Times, he is a failure at what he does.
December 9, 201015 yr I think if you read my posts youll notice that I correctly predicted that Konerko would be back and that the Sox and they would most likely "split the baby" in terms of money. I had no inside sources or connections. I was armed with common sense. Edited December 9, 201015 yr by Soxbadger
December 9, 201015 yr He's all over every story. He reports that every possible outcome is likely or even inevitable. He's got all sides covered like a blanket.
