Troy Tulowitzki trivia on Jeopardy ruined following trade from Rockies

As if Troy Tulowitzki's monster debut with the Toronto Blue Jays wasn't enough, we can only hope Colorado Rockies fans still upset by the trade weren't watching Jeopardy on Wednesday night.

Because sometimes when the trivia isn't about Victorian Era literature or 18th century European rulers, sports answers will be weaved into the game show and in this case, be there to crush the spirit of Colorado baseball fans.

Of course, "this team" is the Colorado Rockies, and as of Tuesday, Tulowitzki no longer plays for them. Ouch.

Jeopardy is taped weeks in advance, so at the time it was the right response and answering correctly netted contestant Jonathan Marcus a cool $600 in Jeopardy money. It's a comical coincidence though that it aired the same night Tulowitzki put on a Blue Jays uniform for the first time, just a day after the deal was made official.

And how did that go? Pretty well, we'd say. Tulowitzki went 3-for-5 with a home run and two doubles to lead Toronto to a win over the Phillies.
