Once again, Phillies to host Rockies in National League playoffs

Two years ago, the Colorado Rockies made the postseason on the strength of a quick and powerful late-season burst of success.

They won 14 of their final 15 games, including a dramatic, one-game playoff – in which they needed a three-run rally in the bottom of the 13th inning – to claim the National League wild card.

The Rockies then won seven straight postseason games to make the World Series, where their scorched-earth run ran out of fuel and they were swept by Boston.

The Phillies were one of the teams that got burned by the streaking Rockies in 2007. Colorado swept the Phils in three straight in the NL division series that year. It was the Phils’ first trip to the postseason in 14 years and it was over in about the time it takes the Domino’s guy to deliver a pepperoni pizza to your door. That’s what happens when you hit .172 (16 for 93) in three games.
