Can anybody beat the Colorado Rockies? Seriously.
It's getting borderline absurd.They win every game they play.
They have lost one time...one time since September 16.
Once! And it was a close game.
Jayson Stark is calling them the hottest team of all time and he's right. They are 19-1 in their last 20 games. Only top-5 college basketball teams do that. They haven't lost in the 2007 postseason, and they've played 4 of their 5 games on the road. Teams that do that come out of nowhere to win the Super Bowl.
I thought a 4-day layoff between games would cool them off, and their hitters unquestionably have. Their team OPS in the NLCS is a Jason Kendall-esque .539. They have twice as many strikeouts (22) as walks (11) and ah extra base hit in 2 games (a Willy Tavares 3rd inning double off Doug Davis last night that meant absolutely nothing).
But it hasn't mattered, largely because the rest has made their pitchers unhittable. They've allowed 3 earned (and only 24 base-runners) in 20 innings, to go along with 18 strikeouts.
Now, they're headed home (they hit .298 there this year, compared to .261 on the road) where they can lose a game and still be World Series-bound without having to return to the desert.
It's just silly.

They just won again. This really is getting ridiculous.
Did you guys hear the interview with Hurdle where he said "I just can't explain it" 5 times. I don't think even he believes it.
