A View of the Rockies from New New York

The extra New was a little futurama joke, just for fun.  I haven't been to the row in a while, but I found a story from The New York times talking of an interview with DOD talking about comparison's of Tulo to Jeter, the mid-90's Cleveland teams Rowdy O'Dowdy helped build, and his ambitions to have Tulo retire in purple pinstripes.  I checked the row to see if it was floating around and didn't see it, sorry if I may have missed it.

Also, be sure to check out the comments from NNY fans in the bottom.  Most are bitter, upset spurts about the notion of anyone being compared to Jeter.  However, some show support of the comparison, one referes to the 'Denver' Rockies as a second place team, and one fan shows what being Yanks fan is all about, buying championships.  It's interesting that not only do they pridefully wear their ignorance on their sleeves about the Rockies, but about the entire NL West as a whole.  Appareantly Tim Lincecum, Jake Peavy, Brandon Webb, Dan Haren, Matt Cain, Clayon Kershaw and Chad Billingsley are all chump Double A pitchers and would be consider meat in those other, more "powerful" divisons closer to an eastern time zone.
