starting pitching. which all the years previous they didn't have. but i'm in your camp in this sense. they've had a culture of losing for how long? forever. a couple weeks doesn't mean everything's changed. and the other thing, okay. they're getting close, they're still four teams between them and the second spot. it isn't like they're right there. >> but they don't see some of these teams in the next few weeks. they got the marlins this weekend. i don't want for you diehard rockies fans, this is good test time for these young players. >> do you think there's diehard rockies fans. >> about 12. i don't know. >> i tell you what, being in this situation is going to bring a lot of people back to coors field. >> it can create new fans if
