2209 1 February 07, 2006^4:37pm Reedster^1 Contract extension given to GM O'Dowd and manager Clint Hurdle mikesrants.baseballtoaster.com/archives/318569.html Rockies MikesBaseballRants 1200 2003 0 From the article: &box-The Rockies announced today that general manager Dan O'Dowd and manager Clint Hurdle were given contract extensions through the 2007 season, and I am left wondering what a guy has to do to get fired in Colorado. This is a team that has witnessed one winning season in the last eight and that hasn't made the playoffs in the last ten. They have seen their attendance slip from first in the NL in their first 7 seasons (and as high as 4.5 M in their inaugural season) to fourteenth in the 16-team NL last year with their first attendance mark under two million for a season.-box&
