Edgar's "right" to have Cabrera unlawfully detained at the airport? Agreed that Cabrera has some serious growing-up to do, but let's keep things in perspective.

The Ginger Kid Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 can't believe moronotti hasn't written anything yet -- he must be licking his chops. I'm going to say that his take will go something like: "it's just the first crack in a crumbling clubhouse." That "Cabrera is a highly regarded team player who never experienced these sorts of indignities anywhere else he's played....that he has the courage to finally speaking out against a manager that no one else has had the guts to call out." just a guess.

Harry Chappas Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Anyone other than me think Joe Cowley is trying to make a name for himself? He seems to be on the Mike North show often and is really airing out the clubhouse. I could be wrong but he seems to be behind the dirt that comes out regarding this team.

29andPoplar Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Anyone other than me think Joe Cowley is trying to make a name for himself? He seems to be on the Mike North show often and is really airing out the clubhouse. I could be wrong but he seems to be behind the dirt that comes out regarding this team. This is an interesting observation. Part of it in my opinion is the Sun Times editors, who love controversey. They were all over Cowley about not reporting the blow up doll thing first. He was on the radio and said he disagreed with his editors running Slezak's story. But Cowley is not called Tailgunner Joe for nothing. He is always taking shots at people who don't cooperate with him and he soft soaps people who do cooperate, not unlike any beat reporter/writer. Kenny Williams and Cowley have an uneasy but peaceful relationship, it's much better than it used to be but Williams is wary of Cowley and does not like all this clubhouse crap getting out. No GM does. But it today's media, that's the way it is. Cowley is extremely competitive and he'll print whatever he thinks is good for Cowley. But that's his job.

joejoesox Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 on B&B just a few minutes ago, they were just told that Cabrera is most likely not going to be pursued in FA after this year, supposedly has something to do with clubhouse issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The White Sox should just thank themselves they don't have to play in NYC. It's 10 times worse here for the Yankees and Mets. That said, I have no patience for these hadget job stories. Too often the beat writers and columnist forget that their readers are actually fans of the clubs they are reporting on -- we can make up our own minds and don't mind a little bad with the good.

Chicago and Philly are basically mirrors of one another. From the media to the hostility of the fanbases (mostly because of the media).

CWSOX45 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 New York by far has the worst group of media members. Based on personal experience, I've only met a couple of writers that weren't complete d!cks. Mike and the Mad Dog are as intolerable in person as they are on the radio. The Sun Times is very close to being the New York Post. Both are tabloids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
