Snake-Bite Remedy: The Rockies completed only their 2nd winning record in Phoenix, by going 5-4 this season, same as in 2007. The 5 wins are tied for the most wins in 2007 as well as in 2004 when they went 5-5. In 2008 the Rockies went 1-8 in Arizona. The 11-7 season Record with the D-Backs is the best record since going 13-6 in 2004.
NO PICKUP ON OFF DAY: The Giants and Braves both won yesterday keeping the Rockies Magic Number at 9.
ANALYZING THE WILD CARD RACE: If any team is going to make a serious run at the Rockies Wild Card hopes I believe it will be the Atlanta Braves. Currently sitting at 80-70 five games back, They spend the entire last week at home after playing the Mets and Washington on the Road this week. Their pitching staff, unlike the Giants is still intact and a little bit of hitting could carry them to a big finish. They would need the Rockies to go less than .500 though unless they can win them all. I would still predict that the Braves will be the team to get past the Giants and Marlins and finish in 2nd place for the Wild Card.
