Were you in jail?

I was banned. And I will leave it at that.

You didn't miss out on much... this year is as bad as any I have seen.

I know. I haven't quit following my Rockies. I have supported Jim Tracy thru thick and thin but right now I know we need to fire O'Dowd. He has been here for 13 years and after all the trades we don't have one quality pitcher to show for it. We don't have a quality 2B or 3B to show for it. He has over stayed his welcome, in my opinion. He has failed with his blueprint for a team in Denver. His trades and maneuvers have not worked. I like Tracy but it is time for him to go as well. We need a man like Gibson with the Dbacks. Someone that is fiery and holds players accountable. Last, it is time for Helton to hang it up. He is done.

I think tulo needs to also go to AAA until he can get out of his funk...

Tulo never blew a 4 run lead or lost a game in the 7th, 8th or 9th inning. It is hard enough to hit but when your starters blow leads day after day it gets frustrating on position players.

OK. Welcome back.

How is your dog?

She died a few weeks ago. Thanks for asking.

Is it really you, winrockies? Sorry about the ban and your dog. It's been quiet around here w/o you. I'm glad you're back.

Yes it really is me. Got banned a while back and got tired of fighting it. Don't know why I was banned because I saw language as bad as mine from others on here. I am going to tone it down some but yes it is me, Winrockies. I will speak my mind and let others speak theirs. Hey, I love my team and get a little crazy defending them at times, but that is what true fans do. I am sure there are some on here that will try to rile me up and get me banned again but I won't fall for it.

Yay!!! Get riled up, just don't get banned! You lead with your heart, not your head, and this board needs that.

I am sorry about your dog! I know how tough that is. Almost two years ago a dog that I found roaming the streets in Pune India in 2001 when I living there died. I still think about it. She was a good dog.
