My letter to the Sun-Times. Don't know where he came from, but if we never see Cowley again that's fine.

Mr. Tucker,

Just a quick note to thank you for today’s recap of last night’s Sox game. It’s the first time in a long time that a game story told a tale of what actually happened on the field! No drama, no gossip, no @#$%-stirring or controversy, just the facts as they happened. In fact, I couldn’t believe I was reading the Sun-Times.

Thanks again, keep up the good work!

Linky love:

In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.

Who the heck is Steve Tucker?

Did Cowley get canned? I noticed he hasn’t updated his Twatter in five days.

where did you read/hear that?

“but if we never see Cowley again that’s fine.”

Didn’t mean it like THAT.

i know people.

i bet it’s been covered somewhere. that guy at the tribune is usually on top of this stuff. i’m sure a search of both papers would find a mention of it.

Tribune Aug. 15

Joe Cowley, the Sox beat writer for the Sun-Times, joked Thursday about doing anything to get out of a trip to Oakland.

But Cowley’s reason could not be more legit: He expects to have surgery next week after doctors removed moles from his leg and shoulder that were diagnosed as thin melanoma. On top of that, his wife, Molle, expects to deliver the couple’s second son.

You might recall this is Cowley’s second duel with cancer. He was 50-50 to beat follicular lymphoma in 2004-05, and he crushed it, citing a “warrior mentality.”

“Two cancers by the age of 40—and completely unrelated,” Cowley said. “But we caught this early, and I feel pretty optimistic [the procedure] will be one and done.”

Cowley hopes to return to the Sox beat Sept. 1.

In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.

I'm quite relieved you didn't know of that before you wrote this

Don’t know where he came from, but if we never see Cowley again that’s fine.
