How horrible are the Colorado Rockies? I was im think 1he Colorado scouts need to look into some future pressed when they hit the walk-off home run to win the pitching pmspect'> who can pitch no matter what the season opener against the Padres. I thought they might conditions are. even if they have a scratch on th<'ir arm. reacil .500 this season, and then this weekend they played I know O'Dowd is hoping this young Rockies team can the Giants. develop into a bunch of Todd Heltons, but they won't. What can you say? The team got swept by the Giants Helton is one-of-a-kind. He is the only Rockies player and improved its losing streak to four games. The.seasnn that went through the Rockie..'> miMr league system and just start-cd, but I am already sick of watching this team became an all-star. Other Rockies play. The literally make me.sick to my stnmach. players that who were good were inherited. The Rock What in the hell was Dan O'Dowd thinking with this ies organization did not produce these good players; Hel so called "youth'' movement? He is out of his ever-loving ton is the only one. Even if these young players turn out mind. O'Dowd hm; made nothing bu1 the wrong moves to be all stars, O'Dowd will find a reason Lo ship them as general manager of the Rockies. Todd Helton and Pres off for "future minor league prospl'cts." I wouldn't put it ton Wilson are the only players strong enough to carry past O'Dowd. The Rockies didn't rcstgn Jeromy Bumirz or this team, but it won't be enough. Royce Clayton, and they just traded Charles Johnsm1 for 1\vo players can g<-t a team to the World Series. If the the World Series d10ke artist (that Kim dud~). Rockies had decent pitching. they might be OK. I have The Rockies will suck again this year, and I will put all come to the condusion that the Rockies can't get good of the blame on O'Dowd. He is an absolut-c idiot. He has pitchers: Mike Hampton was a big-name pitcher, and he no logic hehintl hrs thinking. Who knows-by the end of was an ahsolute bust. I don't get why pitchers use the el the year, Huhou will probably be playing elsewhere; in evation as an excuse. return, we will get a single-A pitcher from the Devil Rays, Look at Mesa State pitcher Sergio Romo. He has oh yeah, and a $1000. pitched in lower elevations all of his life except for this I am giving everybody forewamiug: do not watch the s-eason. This is his first season at Mesa State, and he is 9- Rockies on television. Go watch them live if anything. At 0. Why don't the Rockies look at picking up Romo? He's least you will get to see something worth while: Coors solid and doesn't use the elevation as an excw,e. Field. That is the only thing the Rockies have going for The Rockies draft pitchers that have pitched in Col them. They have-a beautiful ballpark. Other than !hat. it's Lance Manganello orado all of their lives, und those pilchers can't cul it. I a waste of time. SportsccUtor
