Clint Was Class
If you’re looking for the real reason Clint Hurdle lost his job, this cartoon, an old one from my days at the Rocky, pretty much spells it out. Sure , we can blame the Monfort’s (as I’ve been known to do more than a few times) but looking at the wrecking ball of this current economy, I think I’ll not point the finger today. Sure, The Monforts can’t compete with the likes of the Yankees or Red Sox but, really, who can? Until baseball puts in a salary cap to even the playing field, great guys like Clint Hurdle get pushed out the door. Here’s my wish. That Hurdle inks a deal with one of the teams with deep pockets. And then wins a World Series or two. Good luck Skipper. There was none finer.

Time again for this week’s Cartoon Caption Contest.
Da Rules: Be Original and Keep it clean
Da Prizes: The winner gets the original cartoon with their caption in it and a vintage full-color autographed Rockies poster drawn by yours truly. The art ran on the front page of the Rocky Mountain News on Opening day 1993!
Our two runner-ups will each get the same autographed vintage Rockies poster drawn by me.
So go to it, and have some fun out there!

This is the first new cartoon drawn for this site, and it also appears at InsidetheRockies.com, a blog from Rocky Mountain News baseball writers Tracy Ringolsby and Jack Etkin. To stay in touch with other former Rocky staffers, visit IwantmyRocky.com.
