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.”

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 “

Being on the other end of it

When you’re constantly criticized for hating/loving everything you’ve never even had an opinion on, it gets pretty old.

Preps writers have it the worst.

But there’s no mistaking what Cowley thinks if you’ve got any kind of literacy.

agreed

He’s so transparently over the top when he’s got something against a player (Garland, Cabrera, Uribe), you know when to completely discount what he writes.

I think Ozzie does have to do something further about PK. Shit, bat him 9th until he figures it out. I would have rather had Swish up in that situation.

I’m not saying DFA him. I’m not saying play Anderson/Wise over him. But I don’t think, even with a 4-4 day, he’s the best pick for the 6th spot in the order.

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.
