Does The Rockies' Run End Now?

The Rockies and D-Backs both swept their respective first round opponents yesterday, and the Red Sox and Indians could follow suit this afternoon. But because the AL matchups could also last a few more days, the NLCS won't start until Thursday in Arizona. And Rockies' fans shouldn't be too happy about that.

This team has played 27 games in the last 30 days. Of those 27 games, they've won 21 times, including 17 of the last 18. In my mind, the last thing I would want right now if I'm on the Rockies is 4 days off in-between games. Sure it'll give Matt Holliday's chin some time to heal but it will also give this team some time to cool off, and get out of its groove.

The Padres and Phillies weren't able to stop the Rockies' run. But in my opinion, the Scheduling Gods will.
