Baseball is a game of streaks. The Rockies proved that last year when they went on a month long streak that was unstoppable, too bad it petered out a week to early.

History has shown that the best team does not always win the WS, but the team who is hot at the right time.

Can lightning strike twice in the same place and same time? Root for the Rockies, and show support, but in reality the chances are slim.

You have 20 games left within the West. You finish the year with Arizona. Did you forget what the Rockies did last year? Anything can happen. You're only 6 games back and the Dodgers are slipping. Good luck!

If Arizona and LA keep going on long losing streaks and Colorado keeps winning, they have a chance. They are only 6 games back.

When did they get rid of Fuentes? As far as I know, he is still with them. He closed out the ninth in yesterday's game versus the Padres.

They didn't get rid of Fuentes. He closed again last night. He was just out on bereavement leave for a few days.

Anyway, it is slim but I refuse to lose hope until it is all said and done. Afterall, they have a good shot of moving past LA into 2nd place as the Dodgers have lost 8 straight, and you can't get to first without getting up from 3rd to 2nd. And Arizonia has been good but not OMG Awesome! I mean both Haren and Webb lost the past week when the Padres swept them. And we have 6 games left against Arizona, those wil be really key.

So yes, it's slim. They have to keep winning at a torid pace and also hope on LA and Dbacks dropping a some games.

Yeah, anything can happen in the last month where divisional games are played more. If the Rockies can start to sweep some series and maybe one on the Dodgers ro the D'backs, then they can really get themselves back into it.

Fuentes was put on the Bereavement List a few days ago for personal reasons.
