Today the Colorado Rockies decided to get rid of their manager Clint Hurdle and replace him with Jim Tracy, the former Pirate manager who was about as awful as Davey Lopes so the decision might not be the best one for Colorado.
The first thing to discuss is after the Rockies got to the World Series by being on fire for the last month and a half although after that everything came to a screeching halt. Troy Tulowitzki hasnt done anything in two years. Garrett Atkins is not doing that well since his great season in 2007. Brad Hawpe is hitting the hell out of the ball this season but he wasnt a factor last season for the Rockies either. Ian Stewart was supposed to be a complete stud and he hasnt amount to anything in the big leagues so far as well.
There is more to this firing though because I was reading the ESPN "Conversations" and most Rockies fans are pissed off at the Monfront brothers who own the team. They say that the Monfronts are cheap and they are unwilling to spend money to get people to come play at Coors Field. In addition, Dan O'Dowd their general manager has also done a shitty job according to the Colorado fans. He is also in the last year of his contract so I wonder if some of these guys will be on the move in July and just blow up the entire team.
-Charlie.
