NL Teams Can't Touch the Talent of the AL

Submitted by Andy, Oct 10, 2007 00:23

This article is completly offensive and innapropriate. I live in and am a proud member of the forgotten time zone and we have had to deal with this east coast bias for years. That said, I have never found a more arrogant pompous offensive piece. I am sure this writer thinks that everyone in Colorado rides a horse and has a chairlift in their backyard. Wake Up! Denver is a real city and Colorado is a real state. A writer can't make broad generalizations as this one did and call himself credible. Coloradans are not mountain trolls. And this man claims to know something about baseball in this piece. Do the St. Louis Cardinals, Arizona, and Florida mean anything to you? Last I checked the American League has won 6 of the last ten series-hardly a rout. Also, having the Rockies and Diamondbacks involved in the World Series is great for baseball. Did you ever think that possibly the difference records between the leagues have something to do with the parody, not the quality of teams? Having the two nlcs teams be post 1990 expansion teams, and both in small to mid market cities in the mountain time zone represents the parody in the league. Maybe this writer could understand this is he came out from behind his east coast biased and pompous front. The issue of hiring based on religious grounds is false. The Rockies have, after a disastrous situation involving two big free agent signings, commited to character individuals. This is not related to religion, even if rumors suggest otherwise. This writer should lose his job because he is predjudiced and ignorant on many important issuse oertinent to being a sportswriter.
