The Rocky Mountains are dangerous. People die from falling, avalanches, landslides, falling rocks, and animals each year. If you take them for granted, and don't know what you're doing, you will get hurt, badly.
The Colorado Rockies are living up to their name, and the reputation is the same. If you mess with these guys, take them for granted, and don't know what you're doing, you will get beat. Just ask the Dodgers, the Padres, the Philles, and the Diamondbacks.
Winners of 21 of the last 22 games. They swept past the Phillies, swept the D-Backs (who swept the Cubs), and join the '76 Reds as the only teams who have started their post season 7-0.
They have great defense, good pitching, speed, they hit well, they have mashers like Todd Helton, a probable NL MVP in Matt Holliday, a probable ROTY in Troy Tulowitzki, they operate as a team (together), and a different guy is stepping up to lead the charge each and every night.
I attended a game where the Cubs blew out the Rockies at Coors Field this year, and the crowd was still amazing, even as they were losing. Now that they're dominating the NL, that crowd is making Fenway sound like a funeral home.With all those things, and that crowd behind them... These rockies are the most dangerous in the beautiful state of Colorado.
My only hope if Boston can pull past Cleveland, is that the Rocks have about 8 days to cool off before the World Series starts.
Does anyone really want to play these guys?

I have a real consperacy theory going here, ala the way I felt about the Suns series after game 3... Was I right then? Am I right now? I was blown away to say the least, win the demolished the Phillies, Manhandled the Phillies. I didn't know how it was possible, I saw highlights and said to myself, they are getting some close pitches... I didn't think anything of it. Game 1 came vs. the Dbacks... mind you I am extremely biased, I thought even down to the last out we could win four in a row. I was at game 1 therefore I didn't have a good view of the strike zone, but every batter for the dbacks started off 0-1, except Webby. Every first pitch from the Dbacks.... 1-0 Every count... this is the reigning Cy Young winning pitcher vs. a guy with a 4.22 era! Game 2 made me want to drive off a cliff because the same thing happened. Even our bullpin which is THE best in the NL would have to fight 2-0 counts all series, allow only 1(walked in) run 14 innings (thanks Melvin for leaving in Valverde). I could go on and on... but that is a rant far to large for this "comment." Let me leave you with this The Rockies were 200-1 odds to make it to the world series just a month before this "amazing" streak happened. There has been talk that the gambling problem of some NBA officials may have intertwined with other sports. I'm not saying the Rockies aren't amazing... their defense is historic, their hitting impressive, and the Dbacks have had trouble with them all year. But something is going on here that is a little crazy... watch highlights of Juan Cruz 2-2 count vs Helton game 4 curve right down the heart of the plate... helton turns to walk to the dugout when there is no call made... it was the only batter Cruz walked in his 2 1/3 inning 6k outing... Just watch |
