The American League champion will be running into a buzzsaw unprecedented in the history of late-season major league baseball. Yet the Colorado Rockies, who've merely gone 21-1 in their last 22 games, will undoubtedly be underdogs in the World Series, just as they were in the National League Division Series against the Phillies, whom they swept, and the NL Championship ...

Just five major league teams since 1937 have had a run of 21 wins in 22 games, but only the Rockies have carried such a surge into the postseason. Colorado comes into Fenway Park tonight for Game 1 of the World Series not having lost a road game since Sept. 13, and is 15-3 in its last 18 contests away ...

The Red Sox had two big sluggers in the middle of their lineup -- one a lefthanded hitter, the other a righty, both .300 hitters, one a former MVP, one who would soon be named one. They were the linchpins of a Sox team that had high hopes of playing deep ...

Even now, after the Colorado Rockies' amazing run of 21 wins in 22 games, many fans don't know this black-and-purple clad club of Tulowitzkis and Torrealbas. Maybe that changes this week. Come Wednesday night, the Rockies will be on baseball's biggest stage, playing the Boston Red Sox in the World Series opener.

Todd Helton had always wondered what it really, truly felt like. Yes, he'd been sprayed with champagne and doused with beer in celebrations this October - they come about once every 12 years for the Rockies, and he wasn't around for the first.

Something tells me Rockies manager Clint Hurdle is a guy who can deal with a 13-1 loss in the first game of the World Series. He knows it's not the end of the world. He knows there are other things more important. He has all the perspective any baseball man will ever need.
