I know he was reprimanded for the sexist tweets but he retained his employment as a columnist. I scrolled through his recent columns and they are extremely vanilla. Did he get fired from his appearances on the Score? Is he reverting to the fetal position due to his allegiance to Ozzie, seeing that Ozzie appears to be on the sinking ship, not the irrelevant White Sox? Just wondering if he has any visibility in Chicago now that the Guillen family is in Miami.

He was on today with Dan McNeil. He wouldn't answer any questions about the Twitter thing.

He became irrelevant. Ironic.

He became irrelevant. Ironic.

 

More accurately, he got neutered. Funny how that worked.

He moved back into his parents basement

His career moved to Miami and then he hung himself with the twitter thing.

 

Couldn't have happened to a better guy.

what a shame

Who?

He became irrelevant. Ironic.

 

 

Justice done been served.

Cowley built his "brand" on Twitter. Being the WWE-style twitter/radio heal got him way more notoriety than his columns ever did. Being censored severly neuters that. Nobody really cares about this guy's flat baseball & organizational insight. With Ozzie gone, he brings nothing more to the table than any other beat writer.

Every so often he'll co-host a show on The Score during the weekend. I think it's interesting stuff based on how 2012 has panned out for the Sox to this point. It beats the s*** out of the national programming they would air otherwise; every last national show they air talks college football. It's awful enough to hear that s*** during the college football season. Hearing it in the middle of summer automatically has me turning the radio off.

I used to read Cowley's articles until I realized they were more of quote mashups more than anything else.

 

Any reporter with a clubhouse credential can assemble some quotes and make pointed (and sometimes baseless) remarks about coaches.

Honestly he brings less. He now has no sources, plus no baseball insight.

No Ozzie, means No Cowley, which means no drama. Ahhhh what a breath of fresh air

And the Sox are winning, while Miami sucks, which means his poison pen opportunities are at a minimum.

How did Cowley compare to Marriotti? I never read much of Cowley's stuff.

A sad imitation. Cowley was a shadow of Mariotti's ability to spin controversy.

Funny that he addressed it in today's column. Very lazy here. He basically gets Paul Konerko to say that it wasn't as simple as a manager change, it was a change in organizational philosophy. Of course, Paulie isn't going to throw Ozzie under the bus. But even a 5th grader can interpret the meaning - this organizational change was not possible with Ozzie at the helm. One of Ozzie's favorite quotes was "The major league is not an instructional league" and "I can't teach these guys anyting". So there is no way that Ozzie would have gone along with the the reinforcement of baseball fundamentals.

 

Ozzie is managing a talented team this year (as he did last year) and it is like ground hog day. All the drama, egomania, poor results, throwing players under ther bus, outrageous proclamations, etc.

 

Ozzie was a great manager early in his career but he is a shell of that guy today.

Holy god, my brain hurts after reading that pathetic attempt to save Ozzie. Ozzie isn't a details guy. He, himself stated he didn't believe in drill, rather he felt that just talking about them would suffice. Ventura comes in, and starts working on drills, and the team gets better at them, yet it wasn't Ozzie or Robins fault? This clown needs to work for a political campaign because he has no shame.

Totally. What a waste of my last two minutes.

 

The current players will say plenty about the previous circus without invoking the clown's name.

And as usual, Cowley couldn't keep himself from throwing K.W. under the bus, as if it was K.W's fault that fundamentals were not taught, or players held accountable for executing them.

I love the fact that I can simply enjoy baseball and none of this asshat and his trusted sidekick trying to prove how cool they are.

He can't write a Sox article without it. It just adds to his level of pathetic. I swear the guy must be jealous of Kenny or something because all he does he talk about him.

Me to Cowley article:
