Boone on to pitch in his Homeland.
The redneck.
The Twins are not good, please stop posting their score.

It may not work out...
but Boone is a good choice for the 7th with Murphy and Davis.

Again the 3-3 road trip is fine...
just frustrating that Minnesota only lost a 0.5 game to us in a week in which they went to Boston-Detroit and we went to KC-Texas.

the lineup they are fielding right now is decidedly unimpressive.

so....right...they just erased 4 road games in Det off their schedule
while winning 3….we still have 3 left there facing a healthier lineup most likely.

Hey! Joe emailed me back!
My email:
“Hey Joe, what’s the deal with all the offhand remarks about your personal feelings toward these players? For one, I’m not totally sure you’re qualified to make such judgments about players (Ozuna better than Uribe? Cabrera the fourth best SS on the team?), but for two who cares? We at Southsidesox.com have been reading your stuff for a bit and you were a lot more professional and, frankly, good when you were at the Southtown. There was speculation in our nerdy little circle that the SE was encouraging such from you since it sounds like your style has changed pretty significantly from one paper to the other. True? False? Personally, I find the Sun Times sports section to be more or less filled with jerks (Mariotti being the king of course) or dudes who just don’t really know their stuff and I avoid following links as a result. Not that the Trib is any if at all better (Phil Rogers is no genius himself), but we collectively really liked your work at the Southtown and are sad to see it suffering (again, our opinion) at the S-T. I suppose it would be pretty easy to take all of this as insulting and as a challenge, but I’m not trying to flame/troll you here. Just wondering what’s up.”
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
i'd prefer that you not speak for me when you call yourself nerdy.
fuck you, that's my name!! you know why, mister? 'cause you drove a hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar bmw. that's my name!!
you comment regularly on a blog
ergo, nerd.

Cowley's response:
“I’ll address each one of your concerns in order. First, I am qualified to make judgments on these players, since I see them every day and am around them every day for almost seven months. I was made aware of all the Cabrera stuff going on by not only his teammates, but the coaches, and since I came down on him and his agent called him and told him to straighten up, he has become the Cabrera they used to know. Several coaches and staff members have even thanked me for making the problems with Cabrera public because he is now the team guy they initially anticipated getting.
Secondly, my style at the Southtown was stifled because they were afraid to let my natural outspokenness come out. I am not from Chicago, and I think I brink a more objective perspective than some. I am not a fan writing for fans, I’m there to tell the news – good and bad. I’m sorry if that now rubs people the wrong way.
I don’t speak to Jay, so I have no idea about his feelings on what he does, nor do I care. It has absolutely nothing to do with how I do my job, even when he accuses me of being a "homer.’’ The bottom line is, half the negative e-mails I get tell me I’m too negative with the team, the other half that I’m in bed with the team.
What that means to me is I’m doing my job and staying in the middle.
If you guys at the website choose to read the Trib’s coverage, that’s your decision. It will not change a thing in how I cover the team.
Take care,
JC “

So what we can learn from all of this:
The sports editors at the Southtown were better than the sports editors at the Sun-Times
Coffee is for closers.
i guess so
i don’t really think my email was thorough enough and i really didn’t expect that kind of reply either, to be honest. i respect that he didn’t take what i had to say the wrong way, but i also don’t agree with his philosophy.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
Yep
That was about as respectful a response as you could expect, especially compared to DeLuca.
I CAN'T STAND IT.

What is with the ego on some of these guys?
Cowley held back, but it shows through. I mean I’m sure you have to be thick-skinned, but not so much that you don’t self-assess.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
there's a self-righteousness in sports writing that is very off-putting.

Reading comprehension is pretty low, evidently?
But there’s no mistaking what Cowley thinks if you’ve got any kind of literacy.

But yeah, everybody near the top of their level in everything have egos.

Good Road Trip If Konerko Is Still on the DL
He only cost the Sox two games and maybe won one of ‘em
He simply thinks too much...
PK’s body language was looking for a 3-2 slider again.
3-3 road trip is a-ok
I did not expect this team to be 1st in the division after the end of the 1st half of the season.
Terrible Game
Starting and Relief Pitching both stunk.
We get 22 hits and Konerko goes 0-6. Bench him.
what about ozzie bill?

Take it easy, post Nazi...
Contreras’s awful performance (once again) and Thome and Konerko’s strikeouts looking with the tying run in scoring position didn’t bother you? Because that is what I posted about. I also mentioned that it was nice that the Twins lost.
Last 23 games,
we’ve given up 5 or more runs in 13, 7 or more in 9. We’ve won more than half (7 /13) of the 5 runs against games.
I don’t like it. Feels like pre-ASG 2006. We were winning, but all the games were high scoring affairs.
Cooper better settle down these starters. This team will go as far as the starters take them. And it hasn’t been pretty of late.
Oh for the days when we had 6327 consecutive quality starts.
So, I went to Idea after the 4th inning, what did Kong do to fuck this one up
I know about his 9LOB, but I hear he made a bad defenisve play as well. Let the vultures circle.
