chatwood, and bettis and john gray, that is a good start. they need a couple of veteran guys. somebody at first base. they need to spend some money. >> okay, that is number one. i'm going to agree with you. and i have not said this in eight or nine year. i think the arrow is pointing up. and id hope that this is not the light at the end of the tunnel. not another smashing train. >> the silver bullet you mean? >> i think it is pointing up. when you have john gray as the potential ace, haven't had that in maybe ever. when you have four starters, 26 or under, that gives us room for optimism. but to your point, they have to fix the bullpen. you look at all the teams in the playoffs, they all have one thing in common. they are all different teams. the rockies haven't had a good pull pen in ages. you want to fix the bullpen, you are right. spend some money.

that are the available if you want to spend. that is the key. >> i will say something that i never thought i would say. the pitching coach, steve foster. i know his name now. he seem to have a good one. they pitch better than i have seen rockies pitchers at coors field. >> they are better at coors field. >> they have young arms, maybe they can develop in a long time. should walt weiss come back? >> no. just from what i have heard about the clubhouse, doesn't sound like he is the guy to get them to the next level. >> i disagree. i think he should come back. the reason being, it is unfair to fire someone when you have given him a sub standard rosier, especially on the pitching staff for the last three years. let's give him one year when he has these four starters, when he has a decent bullpen.

bullpen, people don't like how he does it, fine, but he has not had a roster to work with since he has been the man. >> if you are going to bring him back, i want you to bring him back along with a couple of players, veteran players, a mitch moorland type. veteran guy who has been in some playoff battles. they have got a great nucleus. d.j., arenado, cargo. >> it is the tunnel. get ready for 2017. the rockies just might be the con dennedders. i'm a. >> i'm z. >> let's go rockies. look at this guy, big tex is back. that is a 55-foot tall cowboy mascot of the texas state fair in dallas. a crane helped get big tex back on his feet yesterday.

have been talking ability the high country areas. how mother nature has brought them a little snowfall. a taste of the winter season. and a little bit of fall too with the gorgeous colors that are already starting to peek out there. larry pierce capturing this great shot of the snowfall coming down in steamboat. this is what they woke up to at the ski resort. just stunning. you can see this is kind of a great vantage point. still some of the trees have some gorgeous color on them. meanwhile, others, with the wind that pushed through, it just al to fly right on off. so, again, it is kind of going to be hit or miss depending on where you end up. right now, everything is looking fantastic in summit county. the further south you go, i think you still have some time. especially toward telluride, lake city, the san juans, durango. still a next couple of weeks it should be looking nice further to the south start to pop. around the metro area this afternoon, this evening, it has been just stunning.

and the winds have been picking up from time to time. but, that will be about it. no real wet weather to speak of. overnight, nor tomorrow, too. so, a nice weekend, finally feeling a little bit more like fall around here. we will go with mostly sunny skies by tomorrow afternoon. should be a dry one. pretty much statewide. and a pleasant afternoon with the high temperatures similar to this afternoon. upper 60s , low 70s . we hit about 60 degrees in frisco. the warmup will certainly be ?? felt up in the mountains tomorrow afternoon. after today's temperatures. 68 in salida. grand junction, more 70s along the far eastern plains. tomorrow, too. so, you can see the storm system packing its bags, starting to move out. making way for a huge ridge of high pressure that is going to start to amplify across the entire west. this means we are in kind of this blocking pattern. that is going to allow our temperatures to only warm up an temperatures to be pretty dry around here. as maya touched on, we could be looking at high fire danger

anticipating. again tomorrow, still feeling pretty good but the mid 70s , the low 08s return. if you are a fan of the summer heat, it will make a comeback certainly tuesday and wednesday. low to mid 80s . a lot of sunshine. and you can see the nine day forecast indicating a few showers on thursday. maybe, again, by next monday, but, you guys, next weekend, already looks fantastic. if the forecast holds. which it look like it should. >> absolutely. a lot of people still want to >> with the snow it is so beautiful. >> it is too pretty. too pretty. >> grab the cameras. snap away. >> #9wx. >> thank you daniel. cu's opponent is making funny uniforms but the buffs are not distracted. >> and a colorado quarterback observes one of the hardest hits you have seen.

shot. he jumped up. got his helmet. >> the ball is loose! >> he is a tough kid. an athletic kid for a taller guy. this will be a great, great teaching tool for him. an everybody. you know. a lot of times you look at the quarterback. but we have to do a better job of understanding what we are doing. >> wow, broncos traveled to cincinnati this morning to play the bengals tomorrow. rod mackey and mike klis are making presences. >> reporter: drew, thank you, we are standing here in front of the wkrp. mike is looking for loni anderson. hasn't found her. >> reporter: as god as my witness, i didn't know turkeys could fly. >> reporter: as long as we are talking cincinnati, let's talk about the bengals. the broncos are not going to go 16-0. when you look at the vid kill, this is one of the tough

underdog. this is a first one on the road. the first time for trevor siemian to get the hostile crowd. >> i was going to pick the bengals until vontez was suspended. he was the one plainer the game who could play on the denver defense. he is a hard hitter, a play maker. he has a little bit of dirtiness in his play. i hope the denver defense is not too offended by that. but he is a heck of a player. about him. i think they have a chance to run the ball. the bengals are 32 in the league in defending the run. i think the broncos got a chance. >> reporter: what you just said about him is really kind of the same case for our guy who is not going to play. that being demarcus ware. this gives cincinnati more time to basically key on von miller. >> yeah, demarcus ware was only

down. he had become a luxury. but he was an effective one. he had two sack ins the two games. you're right. he puts a lot of pressure on the opposite side of von miller. andy dalton leads the league in passing yardage, but he is also tied for the lead in getting sacked with eight with jay cutler. >> reporter: it is an early kickoff and we will be there. even earlier for game day live. drew. >> thanks guys. the broncos are 7-7 all time on the north bank of the ohio river. including brandon, stokeley's miracle deflection in the 2009 season opener. his 87-yard touchdown with 11 seconds remaining is still the longest game winning play in scrimmage in the final courter in nfl history. rockies are in los angeles where the dodgers can clinch their fourth straight national

[everyone groaning] - okay, real cool, guys, booing reading. cool. - what's happening to us? americans watch television. that's what we do. - amen. - see? dina watches tv. - well, technically, not since my cockatiel reggie ate through a wire and electrocuted himself. i can't say whether it was an accident or suicide, as he was slamming himself into the side of an armoire for months. i got home that night, i thought one of my... they weren't. reggie was cooking reggie. - oof... - anyway! we're not here to chitchat. let's move, people. come on! [upbeat rhythm] - [humming] - wait. - [stops humming] - what is that? i know that. - i dunno. it's just in my head. - do it again. - [humming] [both humming] - yeah, what is that?
