Major League playoff baseball 2007

The streak the Colorado rockies have put together to reach this point in the baseball playoffs is flat out amazing.

At the end of a six-month grind, where Major League teams play 162 games in 180 days, the rockies went 13-1 during their final 14 regular season games to qualify for the playoffs.

A major league team winning 7 of 10 games at any point in the season is exceptional. Major League teams generally win 52 to 59 percent of their season games to be crowned division champions.

Yet the hot streak did not stop with making the playoffs. Colorado won a one-game "play in" game against San Diego, who finished with the same regular season record as Colorado.

Subsequently, Colorado swept the Philadelphia Phillies three games to none in the first round of the National League playoffs.

Tonight, Colorado begins the next series to see if they can win 4 out of 7 games against the Arizona Diamondbacks and win the National League pennant.

There's no telling what will happen. Will Colorado continue its loss-defying team synergy and performance? Only the next week will tell. Colorado, if it wins the series against Arizona, will be NL champions and earn its first berth in the World Series.

Arizona won the World Series in 2001, beating the New York Yankees in 7 games.
