Colorado Rockies Cinderella-Like Story Ended Earlier Than Expected
Colorado Rockies magical season ended on a sad note losing 4-3 to the Boston Red Sox and a MLB World Series sweep at Coors Field Sunday night.
The Colorado Rockies could not hold off the blistering pace set by the Boston Red Sox from the start, The Rockies went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and 1-for-12 with runners on base as the Red Sox hindered the Rockies’ offense throughout the series. The Rockies only hit .226 with 10 runs in all four games.
As we all know the magnificent run they made to reach the MLB baseball World Series, the Rockies won 14 of their last 15 regular-season games, they won seven straight postseason games to make it 21 of 22. But Sunday night, it was all history.
After a month of playing near-flawless baseball — getting all the breaks to overcome the Padres for the National League Wild Card before sweeping the Phillies and the Diamondbacks in the National League playoffs — the Rockies wound up on the other end of the good baseball and good fortune.

“When you talk about us playing well, winning 21 out of 22, we had a lot of confidence,” Jamey Carroll said. “You can see that in that team. They had tons of confidence. The way they were playing, just the way they would run the bases, you could see it.
On the contrary, all of these things were missing, the Rockies trailed in 33 of the 36 innings. The Red Sox were too much saying this means too strong, too good and was on there way in winning their second title in four years. They outscored the Rockies 29-10, and out hit them 47-29.
There is no one to blame for the Colorado Rockies, they had a never say die attitude and for sure all the mistakes that happened will be a learning experience for them.
Nonetheless, these men from the mile high city will forever be rooted in Colorado sports history; they faced all the adversaries and trials and they succeeded. The Rockies captured the heart of the state if not the baseball community. The Rockies are a team to reckon with and for sure they will be back next year with a vengeance winning the 2008 World Series.
“When I see the pictures, I will remember what a special time this was,” Todd Helton said. “For a bunch of regular guys we accomplished a lot. I hope the city is proud of us, because I know I am.”
