Rockies won. Arizona lost. Rockies and Philadelphia are tied for the wild card one game behind San Diego, and San Diego is one game behind Arizona for the Division lead.
This has to be some kind of bizarre dream. The Colorado Rockies do NOT win ten games in a row. It just doesn’t happen. I think perhaps they’ve hired a bunch of ringers.
Seriously though, today they won by PITCHING!?!? They won a 2 – 0 victory while being outhit 8 – 5. It’s just that most of their five hits were in one inning.
Could it be remotely possible that they could win tomorrow? I can’t believe it, but if they do, then the final home stand of the season could be un-freakin’ believable…
Wake me up when the season is over. I like this dream too much to wake up while it’s still going.

On second thought keep talking up their win streak. Arizona has obviously lost favor with the gods (probably something I did or said) during the past week and have become utterly fangless. Losing 2 straight to the Pirates…give me a break.
At least we have Webb on the mound today.
You have no idea how careful I am trying to be so as to not anger the baseball gods. Or to get my hopes up. In all honesty the Rockies have far surpassed my expectations this year, especially after three of their starting day starting pitchers went down about a third of the way into the season.
They could lose every remaining game and I would only have good things to say about their year. It’s been fun, it is so odd to be actually watching meaningful games this late in the year.
I would love to see it become a habit.
As much as I want my Diamondbacks to win the division and go to the Series, it wouldn’t kill me if the Rockies pulled off a miracle and swept Arizona for the upset. It’s a great baseball story…
There, the baseball gods should now be appeased. GO DIAMONDBACKS!!!!!!
You know that they’re just winning so that they can get into the playoffs, get swept, and break your heart, don’t you?
Drax: You got it right. The ultimate purpose of the Colorado Rockies franchise is to lift the hopes of CC, and then just stick a dagger in his heart.
Damn them! Well…they do have good beer and cheap tickets in the Rock Pile…so maybe CC will have to live with it. Go Broncos!!!!!!!!!!
The Rockies have no chance. NO CHANCE to get to the playoffs.
YOU HEAR ME BASEBALL GODS!?!?!!? I SAID NO CHANCE!!!
I can tell you from experience
that watching your team win their way through the playoffs and into the Series is an amazing ride. Watching that same team beat the Yankees in game 7, at home, in a low scoring, come-from-behind affair…well…that’s almost better than…you-know-what…
CC: Try everything man…curse the Rockies…uncross the bats in the dugout…root for the Diamondbacks…spit on the TV screen…scratch yourself.
When the Rockies win the Series, we will all know that it was your sacrifice that influenced baseball history.
While you are at it…put in a good scratch for the Saints…please…
