October 7, 201114 yr This morning on WGN, Pat Tomasulo asked Kenny about today's Sun Times article portraying Cooper as a clubhouse snitch who was instrumental in getting rid of Ozzie. KW's response-- "...It's... it's just wrong. But I'm not surprised because the gentleman that wrote the article, Joe Cowley, is just simply--if I'm being honest--a liar. And I can prove it from multiple multiple articles that he's written, and I'm looking into it actually to a greater degree because it's gotten to the point to where it's cast a shadow on us and it's unfair to a lot of people."
October 7, 201114 yr It is absolutely true, and all you have to do is go back over Joe's own columns to figure it otu.
October 7, 201114 yr Gammons was on earlier on The Score and he said politely, he couldn't see that(What Cowley reported) being true.
October 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 09:41 AM) Coop-"Players were fed up with a lot of things." That much was pretty obvious.
October 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 08:29 AM) It is absolutely true, and all you have to do is go back over Joe's own columns to figure it otu. Anyone got Kenny's e-mail. Maybe they can post the exposure on WhiteSox.com. Marty called two different managers before they settled on one, who didn't end up being either of the guys who were "locks".
October 7, 201114 yr Did Ozzie forward his signing bonus to Cowley to get him to take this organization into the gutter?

Marty called two different managers before they settled on one, who didn't end up being either of the guys who were "locks". Exactly, and yet he "knows" this is true now? Truly a Mariotti-lite.
October 7, 201114 yr Very interesting. An anti-Sox writer might actually have written something not true.
October 7, 201114 yr The Coop interview: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/?podcast_url=h...mp;dcid=CBS.CHI
October 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 08:56 AM) The Coop interview: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/?podcast_url=h...mp;dcid=CBS.CHI You're the man flav.
October 7, 201114 yr Wow, Cooper with no love loss for the Guillen family. "The high road doesn't exist for certain people".
October 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 10:03 AM) Wow, Cooper with no love loss for the Guillen family. "The high road doesn't exist for certain people". And no one knows that better than the Guillen's.
October 7, 201114 yr Listening to Cooper talk, it really makes you feel like KW and Ozzie were really lacking in focus this past season with regards to what took place on the field. Very disappointing

Very disappointing Everyone knew that about Ozzie except his most ardent defenders. KW though?
October 7, 201114 yr CSNChi_Beatnik Brett Ballantini For those of you clamoring for comment about Cowley, I ain't going there. I may need to become a Florida Marlins beat writer one day.

October 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 03:10 PM) Everyone knew that about Ozzie except his most ardent defenders. KW though? Cooper said Kenny wasn't as visible this year due to the turmoil.
October 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 10:21 AM) Care to defend yourself Marty? :lolhitting
October 7, 201114 yr I heard KW with Pat on WGN this morning and was like: wow. Man what is it with Cowley and Ozzie/KW? Is Ozzie paying him? I read the Cowley column and he kept quoting "major league sources" and all I could think of was: WHAT major league sources? Who outside of the Sox would know WTF is going on between Ozzie/Coop/KW? That said, Coop has been the one guy throughout all this that has been... consistent. His work speaks for itself.
