Joe Cowley snaps, goes on rant, then deletes twitter account

[Banedon]

I'm not sure the right place to put this, but since he's a baseball writer, I'm gonna put it here.

Flight delayed because of “Mandatory Crew Rest.” God forbid anyone strains themselves handing out orange juice off a cart for an extra hour.

 

I’m more likely to see a Squatch before I see a hot flight attendant. Then again, I think the airlines are hiring Squatch’s to do that job.

 

Chick pilot. Should I be OK with that or am I just a sexist caveman?

 

Kid next to me looks like “Short Round.” Think I’ll give him a dollar to say to me, “You cheat, Dr. Jones!” #firstclassproblems

 

After that a sports reporter named Sloane Martin got after him about being sexist.

 

@SloaneMartin I have a feeling Sloane is the next unfollow. But it’s a fact women followers stay attached to me longer. #MrHandsomeproblems

 

@SloaneMartin By the way Sloane, the chick pilot did good … Even though she had to come back and ask for directions twice…. Although something tells me she knew where she was going … Just more Mr. Handsome problems!

 

@cst_Cowley that was just the classy and unapologetic response I expected from you. Guess I’m an outlier b/c I only made it through 3 days

 

@SloaneMartin Three days? Not bad. And we didn’t even get to debate what a joke Title IX is… Another time … You’ll be back. #cantquitme….And when you come back, hottie up that pic a bit more. You look like the Russian icy villain from a 70s Bond movie. XOXO.

 

Now his account has been deleted.

I think he's the WSox beat writer. At least he was last year.

Boys will be boys. So right in so-o-o many ways. Don't we all wish Paul Sullivan would snap.

 

Back in 1980, Jimmy Piersall(then WSox announcer) snapped and choked Rob Gallas of the Daily Herald because of a story Gallas had written. Guess he put the 'death grip' on Gallas's throat and he was turning blue, etc.. Piersall was suspended and Reinsdorf took pity on Gallas. He hired Gallas as the head of Marketing, in the grand tradition of Jerry being loyal and hiring incompetent people for positions of power.

 

Will say that having Harry and Jimmy doing the WSox was an excellent broadcasting team. Once when the Sox had diminutive Harry Chappas at SS, a line drive went over Chappas' head at about 7 feet. Harry says: "A normal SS would have just reached up and caught it." Jimmy: "Maybe he should go get a chair."

I'm thinking 'Sasquatch' as in the Himalyan League. Didn't Sidd Finch pitch there?

I was a young teen during the Harry/Jimmy days with the White Sox. That was must see TV at the time.

He didn't snap. He behaved like he normally would. Then he realized how much of a douche he is, and decided to go hide.

I'm willing to bet somebody had to tell him how big of a douche he was being.
