With four games to play, the Colorado Rockies now have a four-game lead in the wild card standings. Officially, the Braves can still come back and force a one-game playoff, but unofficially, it's close to being a done deal. The Rockies can wrap up a playoff spot with a win today. Aaron Cook, we're counting on you.
The last two nights have been huge for the Rockies. Chris Iannetta's walk-off homer on Tuesday night gave the Rockies a win on a day when the Braves lost; the same happened last night, as the Rockies got homers from Todd Helton, Carlos Gonzalez, and Troy Tulowitzki while Ricky Nolasco shut down the Braves.
And technically, the Rockies can still win the West with a win today and a three-game sweep of the Dodgers this weekend. That would mark the first division title in franchise history. Already, with 90 wins, this is the best Rockies team in history; after all, the 2007 team won 90 games in the regular season, but that team needed 163 games to get there.
But win today, and it's all over.
