St. Paul backup Twins/GA

thank you. My first YOU'RE HIRED! on SportsJournalists.com. It's an honor

 

Slater was hired by the Duluth paper. And until his untimely DUI/minor pot bust on his final night in Poky, I suspect there was nothing a background check would have disclosed, other than one of the SportsJournalists.com board moderators didn't like the guy.

I can't believe Duluth would have hired him for a management position without making him at least pee in a bottle.

 

Nobody makes me pee in a bottle.

 

Good for Gordon! One question: What happens to Joe Cowley and/or Toni Ginnetti??

 

Whatever happened to the S-T's old Cubs reporter?

 

Greg Couch still works there. I'm talking about the other guy, as in what's he doing now.

 

It wasn't Couch, it was Mike Kiley. And Cowley's the Sox beat guy.

 

Goddammit, you're absolutely right.

This is what I get for posting while sick. Apologies, Greg, if you read this site.

 

Here's the Kiley thread from last summer:

Gordon's a good guy and figures to do well in Chicago. Looks like he might have gotten out of Saint Paul at the right time.

 

No. That was Duluth, as noted by Micro.

But, the story I've been told is he failed his drug test in Duluth and was told 'never mind, we don't need you' the day of (or day before) his Pocatello farewell party.

 

Has anyone heard anything about the SE? I've been asking around and heard both sides...
