    Rockies news...

    It has been reported that this morning Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez were getting mani/pedi's for tonight's game. After that they went purse shopping to find something chic to match their newly done nails.

    After all they need to look good while riding the pine!!!

    If you didn't replace Tulo's production in your lineup at least ten weeks ago, I have to question your management skills.
    "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
    "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
    "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

      A variety of SS have filled in capably for my team. Of course they don't match the numbers Tulo CAN put up.

        Rockies scored 1 run in the three game weekend series. Houston isn't the worst team in MLB.

          Houston is a much improved team (13-14 in September) since they added that Seitzer guy to the front office.

              What the heck happened? Just an unlucky string of injuries? Players are a bunch of weenies?

                  What does that say about the ineptness of the Rockies that Tracy wasn't fired?

                    Uhm... nothing. He's gone.

                      If he resigned that doesn't necessarily mean the Rockies would have fired him.

                          I know what you guys mean. but resigning isn't the same as being fired is it? I'm a stickler for literalness. Maybe the Rockies said resign or we will fire you, but they should HAVE CANNED HIS SORRY ASS!

                            Knowing how The Rockies operate, I'll bet Tracy was offered a lesser role in the organization and declined.

                            Tracy was "a" problem, but he wasn't "the" problem. The Opening Day rotation told the tale; if that's the best they could scrape together, they obviously had deeper organizational issues than the manager from the get-go. Somebody had to lose their head. It wasn't necessarily the wrong somebody. Just not enough somebodies.

                              If you're fired, they still have to pay you. If you resign, you forfeit the rest of your contract. So this is not just semantics.
