Impossible of the impossible just happened. I dont think anyone, anyone ever predicted that Colorado Rockies would be a NL Champion when season started. I am so shocked this actually happened.
Winning 21 out of 22 is absurd...
7-0 post-season record is amazing...
did Arizona Diamondbacks sucked as hell or did Rockies played well?
Do you think that Colorado Rockies can actually beat AL champion for World Series? can they go 4-0 in the world series? Did anyone go 11-0 in the post season including World Series?

Thats just what i was thinking...how did they win 21 out of 22 to get to postseason,then they go undefeated so far.......
the rockies played well to beat arizona....i wouldnt say arizona sucked....they weren't bad at all....the rockies just outplayed them...and arizona should get some credit ...when they're a very young team...yet they were the best in the NL during the season ........Its Rockies vs...Indians or Bo.sox(indians lead 3-1)....Rockies have a chance of winning it all...but the Al champion is very good....indians have decent hitting with superior pitching...boston superior hitting with decent pitching....so you can that they're gonna go against a hard team....Rockies have superior hitting with ok pitching...i would think that Indians win the WS...but i would not be surprised if the Rockies win it all..cuz they're very good team...No i dont think anyone has ever went undefeated in postseason...though there were a couple close times....
hope this helps=)=)=)
Sincerely
me

The Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Diego Padres are both very good teams and would have put up a better fight than the Angels did against the Red Sox.
The Rockies really really believe in themselves and I am pretty sure they will figure out a way to get the hits needed to win.
I do not expect a "rusty" team to show up in the AL park next week - I think they can-do-it and win the World Series - maybe even go 4-0

One of the reasons the Rockies have been doing so well is that starting September 16 they have been playing for their playoff lives. So while other teams who already clinched were resting certain players, the Rockies had to play all the way through a play-in game just to win the Wild Card. That competitive nature has caused them to just go on a tear through the post season. However, with 8 days now to rest, it's going to slow them down. This will be their biggest rest this year. The Indians and Red Sox are in a grind and will be playing up until the World Series is about to start. So they will have some of that same fortune the Rockies had. They will be playing competitively through the World Series while the Rockies have cooled off. AL wins the World Series in 6.
EDIT: El Cestriano - You should ask this question by itself and not hi-jack another question. But to answer it just because the teams are all from North America, the athletes are from all over the world (Japan, South America, etc...)

No one has and no one will. Although it is a great thought we still have to remember that Holiday was out at the plate vs. San Diego. Never the less ... The Rockies are there and they will be tough for the AL to beat. However unless the AL team pulls a Detroit the lineups are too dominant in the AL for Colorado. Either way it will be a tough matchup.

An eight-day layoff is not what this hot club needs.....if the WS started in a couple days, I would say the momentum is much too great for them to slow down. But Cleveland and Boston will be playing solid ball while the Rockies are taking BP and hitting fungos....it would be hard to pick against the AL due to the schedule.

Beating up on National League teams is not that special this year. All the teams in the NL had pretty poor records, even the winning teams. Once they get to the World Series the American League will most likely sweep them.

I think people constantly underestimate the Rockies - myself included. They have been playing phenomenal baseball. At the rate they are going it is a real possibility that they might win the world series. Can they sweep, I don't know, but it'll be fun to watch it happen. If they do complete the sweep, they would have set the record for the longest winning streak.

Yes, they are the hottest team in Baseball. They are capable of playing against top level AL teams like sweeping the Yanks and taking the series against the BoSox. They have a incredible offense and like they said the best defense in the NL. Seems like a World Series Team to me. Go Rox

The rockies never got lucky.. they played their hearts out just to get a place in the wild card.
Either the Indians or the Red Sox, the rox will win.
(remember that the rockies swept the red sox)

I don't wish to appear rude, but how can this be called the World Series when few countries other than those in North America are allowed to participate ? The Football World Cup (Soccer) and The Rugby (both codes) World Cups are all open to countries throughout the world that play the game - sorry to be a 'party poo-per' but this smacks of 'If we can't win something, we won't let anybody else muscle in' ! With all due respect, the World does not begin and end with the United States (and Canada ?).
