After a lousy April and a crappy May the Colorado Rockies finally fired manager Clint Hurdle today. PengoSports never thought much of Hurdle as a manager, he over-managed the pitching staff and the team's execution was spotty at best, but he was a quality human being and always a stand up guy. He even showed up at his own firing press conference took the bullet and wished interim manager, Jim Tracy, good luck. Class. Yes it is possible to suck and have buckets of class. Good luck to you Clint. You will make some team an excellent hitting coach and some town an excellent citizen.On a related note, MLB.com writer Thomas Harding reported that the Colorado Springs Sky Sox manager Tom Reynolds (it's Runnells asshat) was named the Rockies' new bench coach (he has since corrected it. The story was phoned in to MLB.com and the editor butchered it. Sorry Thomas. Your editor is the asshat). In the age of Google there is no excuse for this lazy crap. Come on MLB.com!
A big congrats to TR! Even though you will now have to go through life as Tommy Reynolds. At least this way if you owe money, are wanted by the feds or being hunted by the mob you are free and clear!
