Marty34 Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Sorry, but it seems to me that the other guys covering the Sox treat it like it's a damn death sentence, are generally ticked off about it (they could be on the Cubs beat), and don't bust their tail to report anything.

Yesterday Cowley was all over the radio & Twitter saying that there was no way Konerko signs with the Sox, that ship had sailed, time for Plan B.

hogan873 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I was certain this was a sarcastic thread. Cowley was reporting the same thing everyone else was, which as it turned out may have been inaccurate. We'll never know exactly what went on behind the closed doors and neither will Cowley.

dmbjeff Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I find cowley entertaining as hell but let's give props to the real basbeall beat guys. Rosenthal and Heyman are on alot of things and pretty damn good at speculating too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, he only gets stories when he is being used for negotiations. Today B&B tried to follow up with PK about what Cowley reported yesterday and he really didn't know what they were talking about. And he didn't break the signing today. In fact, Mulley and Hanley were saying the deal was done at the end of their show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) If you're reading his work, commenting on him and clicking his page, then he is not only doing his job but succeeding at it. There's some kind of misconception that his "job" is to correctly predict every FA transaction.

NorthSideSox72 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 This thread has to be a joke. Like, a thread titled "let's give props to Kotsay for his 2010 performance" level joke. Cowley has been the least accurate, most all over the board guy we've seen quoted in all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) I think if you read my posts youll notice that I correctly predicted that Konerko would be back and that the Sox and they would most likely "split the baby" in terms of money. I had no inside sources or connections. I was armed with common sense. Edited December 9, 2010 by Soxbadger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
