Fingers pointing in Tracy's direction

08:15 AM ET 09.05 | Generally unflappable, Jim Tracy hasn't been able to hide his frustrations of this season. During this road trip, while watching the final speckles of dirt thrown on the Rockies' contender status, their manager has fidgeted, walked away from the top step of the dugout and placed his hands on his face. ... Fingers are pointing in Tracy's direction from disgruntled fans who wonder why the Arizona Diamondbacks can go from worst to first in the National League West but Colorado isn't even playing meaningful games in September. There are tangible reasons, of course, from Jorge De La Rosa's elbow injury to Ubaldo Jimenez's mediocrity and eventual trade, and the lack of production at third base. Tracy is under contract for next season. Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd and owner Dick Monfort have said he will return.

With an 83.7 Mil payroll a 66-73 record just doesn't cutt it, Jimmy Boy.

Dan O'Dowd is the one that needs to go. The team he has put together this year is a even worse defensive club than last year and that was hard to do. The year they went to the WS? They set a record defensively. They brought in 3 free agents that didn't make it with the club to June. They have nobody in the farm system and they've busted year after year after year with their #1 picks in the draft. Tracy is far from the biggest problem on the Rockies.

it seems as if the media its trying to find who in reality is guilty, or whom should be blame for the mess in colorado, but this is clear and simple, the manager lose an arm on ubaldo's deal, everybody knows that a team's heart its pitching, colorado was wrong when they trade ubaldo, unstead trade a pitcher away they should have trade for some more developed arms as major league pitchers, to the media and to the fans it looks clearly that this franchise its mocking the sport and the game!!!

I gotta agree with Denverbob. Few managers can do something with nothing (well, if not nothing, then not much). Trading away aces generally doesn't help the current manager (although the draft picks and players could help his successor. Life ain't fair ...

Hardly. The Avalanche are going to be the team to watch in the Mile High for a while. That's how far we've fallen.

no need to be hard on the manager, after all not everything that has gone wrong could be his fault, lets share the failures here, GM, manager, hitting coach, pitching coach, bullpen coach, the doctors, the pt, the st, and so on,,,,

the angels would have hard games this week, they will be playing against the mariners, then they will have to play against the hard hitting team as its the yankees, to play against the yanks there is very little room for any error, and if that's not enough they angels have the worse anemic offense in the league!!
