Rockies early problems

Well, this season looked to have some hope, then deminished with the perfomance of the Rockies bullpen.  I was happy to see that Clint Hurdle spent no time in replacing Huston Street as the closer for Manny Corpus.  The Matt Holliday trade looks like more of a bust every day.  With two of the three players we got from the A's in triple A, and Huston Street looking like Shaun Chacon when he was closing... blowing... games for the Rockies, it still just baffles me why we just had to trade in the off season as opposed to seeing were we were at the trade dead line for this season.  If these early stuggles continue for the Rockies, especially since they are playing the NL West for basically the entire month of April, I dont see Clint Hurdle lasting very long, as well with GM Dan O'Dowd.  Iv always wanted both of thoes clowns fired, O'Dowd has only destroyed this team and traded away every great player that has gone threw it.  They are still living off the FLUKE that was Rocktober thinking they can actually win with unexperienced players.  Yes, they are young and yes, they are good, but as we saw in October of 2007, the experience of the Boston Red Sox destoyed our young, talented team.  Its more than talent Mr. O'Dowd, when you trade away our only experience for nothing, don't expect anymore that a 3rd or 4th place team in the division every year.
