Yes it's true. This just out -- the Colorado Rockies will probably win every game they play for at least the next two weeks. Hell, while we're at it, I am thinkin they could very well win all their games for the next calendar year.
So I am going to officially redact my previous baseball predictions, and throw them out the freaking window. Colorado is going to win the rest of their games, no matter who they play, and win their first ever World Series title.
I know, it sounds absolutely crazy right? Well, have you been watching any of the playoffs at all?? The Rockies have won all of their playoff games so far, and have lost none. This crap is hardly normal playoff-type stuff. It just doesn't happen, people.
So if the Rockies are going to win when it doesn't make a single bit of sense, then who am I to say they're not going to win it all. And who am I to say that they won't just dominate either Cleveland or Boston when they face them in the Series? So this is why I am thinking they're gonna sweep the rest of the way and be the first team ever (or at least in a freakin long time) to not lose once in the playoffs.
So there you have it. I was totally wrong about the American League. Boston is sucking it up and Cleveland is just poor. Yeah that's right, nothing to do with the baseball team, they're just poor in Cleveland. Both of these teams will lose to the Rockies.
Here is Yahoo's Jeff Passan breaking down the Rockies freaky streak.
The Rockies have won 21 of 22 games on their way to the World Series, including seven straight to start the postseason. The last team to go on such a post-Sept. 1 jag was the 1935 Chicago Cubs, who won 21 straight, and the only other group to start a postseason with seven consecutive victories was Cincinnati's 1976 incarnation of the Big Red Machine. Heavy company for a team that languished in fourth place in the National League West on Sept. 16 only to run roughshod through the NL playoffs as the wild-card entrant.Well I don't know about the "smelling" part of that last quote, but they are winning games that they shouldn't necessarily win.
"You start smelling things," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. "And everything starts smelling right.
And as we saw last year with the hot-streaky St. Louis Cardinals, I think we're in store for another late-season-surging World Series Champ.
