Texsox Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 175 posts for a Cowley column. The front office should pay the Sun Times to keep him employed. And I hope Coop knows to keep playing the game with Cowley, it is the best pr that a pitching coach could ever hope for. The more Cowley attacks Cooper the more his legend grows with Sox fans.

Marty34 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 07:13 PM) That's a great point. Thornton is probably selling cars if Cooper didn't fix him. If he did pop off, and we really have no idea, everyone thought the veteran who wanted to go if the Sox went young was AJ and he said no, or Peavy, and he and Cowley don't seem to have the same story, so that's doubtful, its weak sauce. I really think its probably a made up quote, but what a classy thing to do on twitter, rip Gonzo, the beat writer who is better than Cowley ever could be. My opinion is the unnamed pitcher was Buehrle because it wasn't prefaced by "White Sox pitcher" and he was not happy with the way Coop was conducting business in he last year of his contract. Buehrle was in the same boat. One other thing, Gonzo is a real good guy, but I never learn anything I did not know before reading his stories.

Milkman delivers Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 QUOTE (Andrew @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 11:18 PM) C'mon, Milky. There is no pitcher. Completely made up s***. Consider the source. As much as I dislike Cowley, I have to give him the small benefit of the doubt that he wouldn't COMPLETELY make up quotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Blaze, why is Chicago considered a Cub's town? The more people are talking about the Sox, the easier Brook Broyer's job is. Cowley says something negative and Sox fans circle the wagons like pioneers. The talk helps sell tickets and keeps the team from being forgotten under all the Bears, Bulls, and Hawk talk.

Texsox Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 SS when Cowley is gone someone else will take his place. The good versus evil is good for business. Check out the villains thread, to have heroes we need villains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 That piece, once again, paints Coop as a creep. Don't kill the messenger. Just the take I got from reading it. s***, Danks is on the record in the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the take I got from reading it. s***, Danks is on the record in the story. I'm guessing you didn't read through the whole thread. It's been established that the most damaging quote/s in the story didn't come from Danks OR Peavy, but, with a journalistic sleight of hand that painted both with the brush of a conspiracy which has since been debunked. Ozzie was "letting them all sweat," the coaching staff, so if you were one of his coaches, and had been a part of the White Sox organization much longer than Ozzie, wouldn't you be a little concerned about your future as well? If anything Ozzie sealing himself off from the contract negotiations of the rest of the coaches only exacerbated the negative environment that festered. It's like he was leaving the Titanic, but telling his coaching staff to go down with the ship as he was paddling away for his Florida jackpot.

I wonder how Jeff Cox feels about "remaining loyal" right now? Can we look forward to a Jay Cowardly article on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I knew Cox was interviewing for minor league jobs. That's why I figured you left him out, but if he was one of Ozzie's guys, you would think he'd have brought him to Miami with him. Perhaps he's making Cox sweat? That sounds very dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
