The Rockies completed a 3-game sweep of the Diamondbacks over the weekend. Jason Giambi's 2-run, pinch-hit, walk off homer gave Colorado the 4-2 come from behind win.
If you are paying attention, the Rocks have won 10 in a row and 17 of 21.
Just 1 1/2 behind the Padres and Giants and 2 1/2 out of the Wildcard things are looking good for the streaky Rocks. However of their final 19 games, they play 10 on the road where they are just 29-42. On the positive side, Colorado has won their last 3 road games.
Tonight they begin a 3-game series at Coors Field against the Padres. When this 10-game homestand began, I said the Rockies need to win 8 of 10. Well, having gone 7-0 during this homestand, 8-2 would be a disappointment.
While the Rockies are making a grand charge, if they fall short it will be a long winter when they look at all the games they gave away earlier and some of the shank teams they lost to like the Pirates and Astros.
The question I have is why didn't this team, despite a multitude of injuries, play with a sense of urgency back in May or June?
