"That's been really tough because I've had to go out and buy a bunch of purple clothes," Allen said. "Sure, I've thought to myself, "What am I going to do with all this purple shit?" But you never know when you might move to Minnesota, right? Besides, I've been waiting 10 years for this and...oh, they've been around 14 years? Really? Huh. Well I've been waiting that long then. It's just been so painful that I've lost track."When asked what's been so painful about being a Rockies fan Allen brought up "Dinger," the Rockies purple dinosaur mascot, and also the frequent nosebleeds he suffers from the effects of the notorious thin air. Allen estimates that he's attended over four Rockies games in his lifetime and looks forward to many more. He says his favorite player is Dante Bichette, followed closely by "Todd Holliday."
"People say the Rockies aren't one of the glamor teams, but I really disagree," he said. "We have many famous fans just like the Yankees and the Red Sox. Let's see, there's John Denver. Not only was the guy's name Denver, but he sang about the Rocky Mountains. I have to think that in some way, John Denver is looking down on his Rockies now and helping them along on this journey. He loved the Rocky Mountains so much that I can only assume he loves the National League baseball team that bears their name. OK, and now let's think of somebody living. Oh, John Elway! He was at the game the other night and despite the way he looks now he's very much alive."

Its too bad that rigid minded nitwits like this guy cannot accept the fact that people in Denver have embraced this franchise even though it doesn't have the rich tradition of the Yankees or Red Sox. There are many true baseball fans in Denver who are as passionate, if not more so than the sell out Yankee fans. Its a shame we have to have a record winning streak to get media coverage. The lowest era in the 2nd half and just now you idiots are waking up. Maybe if you've ever been to a Rockies game you would know pal.
You're right, I guess I just wont root for the team in my home town that I've seen play since I was 12. Will you remind me how long a team has to exist before I can root for them. I guess I'll just root for the team thats been around the longest. Oh, I just found out its the Reds. They still have a team?
How dare you! The Rockies are a storied franchise, rich in tradition. Larry Walker could pop off your head like a dandelion flower
"Arrrgh, we're angry hippies from Colorado!!" I only new you were all hippies because you used the words nitwit and dandelion.
3 South,
I am not a Hippie, but you should learn how to spell "knew". You are probably a meathead who shoots HGH like Bonds; I hope your balls shrivle up smaller then your pea brain.
Dear AdamTheHippie,
People west of the Colorado river do use the word "pea brain". You are, however, spot on about the HGH comment. You should be on CSI or Law & Order if you're willing to quit your blog proof-reading job.
Sincerely,
3south
i bet adam is hickman
