Colorado Rockies Cinderella-Like Story Ended Earlier Than Expected
Sunday, October 28th, 2007
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.

It’s been a Cinderella story for the Colorado Rockies. Two weeks ago, the San Diego Padres were one strike away from eliminating them from the wild-card race when the Padres went up against the Milwaukee Brewers. But then, Milwaukee’s Tony Gwynn Jr. hit a tying, two-out, two-strike triple off Padres pitcher Trevor Hoffman that gave the Colorado Rockies a fighting chance.
The next day, The Colorado Rockies went heads up with the San Diego Padres, and won one. The night after that, the Rockies beat the Padres in a 13-inning, National League wild-card tie-breaker match. And ever since then, the Colorado Rockies have been undefeated, going through 20 wins in 21 games.
The latest achievement of the Colorado Rockies was a 4-0 sweep in the National League Championship Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, which give them the National League pennant and a trip to the 2007 World Series. It’ll be the first trip of the Colorado Rockies to the World Series Championships since the franchise’s inaugural season in Major League Baseball back in 1993.
