Apparently having forgotten how to lose a game, the Colorado Rockies completed their sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks last night with a 6-4 win. The team that was only four games above .500 a month ago is now headed to its first World Series after going 21-1 so far to end a Cinderella season, reports the Rocky Mountain News.

While all the baseball fans who know next to nothing about the Rockies may not have expected to see them suit up in either Cleveland or Boston on October 24, the players themselves aren't surprised. “If you told me we would win 21 of 22 with this group of guys, I’d say, 'Yeah,'" said proud outfielder Ryan Spilborghs.
