DaTank Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Anybody else follow him on Twitter? Half of his updates have nothing to do with the Sox. I hate when this guy goes on one of his Tweeting binges. Sorry, I know this is off topic and has nothing to do with the Sox.

Milkman delivers Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Come on. People are doing the same thing with Cowley as they did with Hineybird. We all know that both suck, and they mostly say things to get attention, albeit negative. People complained and complained about Hineybird, and continued to read his stuff just to see what else he had to say to piss them off. Now they do it with Cowley. Just ignore him, and he won't bother you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeGone33 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I've been following on Twitter and I agree, the guy is an a@@ clown. Not only is he Mr. Negative, but I am convinced he really really thinks he is funny......every damn thing he says has some lame attempt at being humerous. I have since stopped the Tweets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggliopipe Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Obviously I'm in the minority here but I like Cowley. I hate when beat reporters just trot out the company line and spin everything positive. He definitely doesn't do this, nor is he bland like, say, Gonzalez. I like him for many of the same reasons I liked Sam Smith (albeit in a slightly different capacity). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever listened to him on the score during my train ride however, don't have a twitter account and I don't read the paper that often.

Kyyle23 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Zaidman is the most informed beat reporter in town, bar none. My problem with him is his delivery is so forced "radio guy", and after I heard him do the Depaul games it annoyed me even more. I can listen to him because like I said, he is informed, but I completely understand why people do not like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nastymasty21 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Cowley is awesome. At least he is critical of the team as a beat writer. Mark gonzales is blah and boring. Never criticizes. Brings nothing to his articles or tweets except the obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Cowley is one of the best baseball writers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Hates Prospects Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I used to really dislike Cowley but I guess I've been warming up to him. That's probably because we suck right now. If he's attempting to be funny while we're playing good baseball then he's annoying, but if he's ripping the team when the team needs to be ripped then I like him.
