ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH


opponents low.

I'm beginning to think the Colorado Rockies will never lose again. And I don't mean just this season. I mean ever.

Oh, sure. They could finish off the sweep of the Diamondbacks, lose that glass slipper and more than a little momentum while they're waiting for a long ALCS to end, and then watch a far more talented and experienced team like the Red Sox strike midnight on their Cinderella month. But I don't think that's gonna happen.

What's gonna happen, I think, is what I saw in a SportsCenter-induced vision just before 7 o'clock this morning: the Rockies will finish off the Diamondbacks tonight, sweep the Indians in the World Series, then come back next season and go 162-0. They will not lose again until sometime in mid-2009, just a few short days after a despondent George Steinbrenner shoots Joe Torre, runs over Alex Rodriguez with his car, and then leaps to his death from high atop the Brooklyn Bridge.

I'm not sure which development will be better for Major League Baseball. But either way, you heard it here first.
