Jheter, I think we talked about this before, but did you ever
see Chris Elliot's Cinemax special called "Action Family"?
Just plain brilliant.

Sun-Times puts Cowley on ‘final notice’ for sexist tweets
Chicago Media blog by Robert Feder on May 1, 2012 at 11:00pm
Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist Joe Cowley has been placed on
"final notice" — one step away from firing — for posting a
series of sexist and offensive messages on his Twitter account,
according to insiders at the newspaper.
Although Cowley had been known to cross the line before, the
tweets he posted Sunday morning while waiting for a delayed
flight to take off became a viral sensation and a source of
embarrassment for the paper after they were picked up by the
sports news website Deadspin.com, which accused Cowley of
“raging sexism” and abuse toward females.
As soon as he landed, Cowley killed his Twitter account under
orders from sports editor Chris DeLuca, who had called the
columnist’s cell phone demanding the deletion. But by then, his
offending tweets had been copied and archived on more than one
website.
While Sun-Times bosses weighed the options available to them in
accordance with Chicago Newspaper Guild disciplinary procedures,
speculation about Cowley’s fate ricocheted around the
blogosphere. Some demanded his immediate firing. Others rumored
that he had been suspended. Neither was the case.
Cowley’s reporting continued uninterrupted as his editors
ultimately decided to issue a final warning through the guild
process. “If he does anything again, it’s pretty much a fireable
offense,” a source said.

Y'know, phuck Deadspin. It's becoming TMZ for sports retarts.
Cowley was goofing around and I actually didn't find anything
that horrible about his tweets. Then again, I read the Tosh.0
comments section, so maybe I'm a bit benumbed. Along those
lines, he should have told Sloane Martin to get in the kitchen
and make him a sammich. Ah, that never gets old.

I was surprised that deadspin got so high and mighty about the
Cowley tweets. That was disappointing.
And I too don't see what the big was. The crack about the
female pilot coming back & asking for directions was gold.

The thing is, if you're a media figure or celeb, you shouldn't
post bar or locker-room talk on Twitter. It's just dumb and
invites fallout. Guys like Mariotti and Cowley think they're
too big to have to take the heat for foolish behavior. They're
not.
Sure, act like Beavis or Butthead in private, but to do it
publicly... well, he got what he paid for.

Dunn's hitting, so why aren't the Sox winning?
--- Quote ---
> ...generating offense continues to be a problem, even with
Dunn seemingly back to normal. By weighted on-base average
(wOBA, a better version of OPS), the Sox have the 19th-best
offense in baseball, ahead of only the reeling Twins in the AL
Central.
>
> Along with Dunn, Paul Konerko, A.J. Pierzynski and Alejandro
De Aza have been fantastic, although Pierzynski has started to
come back to earth lately after a torrid start. But beyond those
four, the Sox have struggled to do much at the plate.
>
> Fangraphs breaks down wOBA into seven rough categories -- for
example, an average wOBA is .320. They define an "awful" wOBA as
being .290 and below. Four White Sox starters fall into that
category: Gordon Beckham (.279), Dayan Viciedo (.262), Alexei
Ramirez (.212) and Brent Morel (.195). And the backups haven't
been much better, as all four Sox bench players have a wOBA
below .280.
>
> De Aza, Dunn and Konerko will have hitless games from time to
time. That happens. But when it does, the Sox lineup doesn't
stand much of a chance of scoring runs.

It was not supposed to be that way. Last year, after his close
friend Adam Dunn joined the team, Peavy hoped to return from a
rare surgery and pitch the White Sox into the playoffs. Instead,
he posted the worst ERA of his career and pitched only 111 2/3
innings. Dunn fared even worse after switching leagues, batting
just .159 while his power numbers fell by more than 50 percent.
“Not being who we once were, we were in the same boat,” Peavy
told me over the weekend. “You’d rather be the one going through
it than watch your buddy go through something like that. I
recall his family coming to the games, his little boys. I didn’t
want my little boys coming to the game, because of the obscene
stuff fans would yell.
