Fantasy owners looking for saves have a few new options becoming available soon, they just might have to wait awhile, and do some speculating. Mike Gonzalez is obviously the first choice currently available. He was activated on Wednesday, and got a save the same day. Rafael Soriano is on the disabled list for the second time this season with elbow problems and can’t be considered reliable. Gonzalez himself is coming off Tommy John surgery, but he is the closer and is

Colorado has fallen on hard times just a year after winning the National League and reaching their first World Series in franchise history. It has called into question whether the 2007 season was just a fluke, but to be fair the team has suffered through an inordinate amount of injuries to many of their key players. They are just now finally becoming whole, and while they currently sit in last place (10 games out of first) nobody has run away from the pack out West. Arizona’s pace has slowed considerably, and

Well, the Rockies didn’t make quite that many changes to their roster, but they were close.  Struggling starter Franklin Morales was demoted to work on his consistency and control leaving a hole in the rotation.  Kip Wells was put on the DL so he couldn’t spot start.  With no other viable candidates, the Rockies completed a trade for Kansas City’s Jorge De La Rosa who will slide into the rotation and pitch on Saturday.  De La Rosa’s been

Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
Go grease lightning you're coasting through the heat lap trial
You are supreme (Uh huh!)

The chicks'll cream (Uh huh!)

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

The Bears got the ball back with 1:52 left on the clock, no timeouts, trailing 16-12, and 97 yards of turf to cover.  Brian Griese did a masterful job of running the two minute drill and it helped that Philly went with the soft prevent (yourself from winning) defense. The

Don't look now, but the Rockies are in the World Series. The team and the players themselves probably didn't expect to be in the position they are in, but after they finished off a sweep of Arizona with a 6-4 win Monday night, it wouldn't surprise anybody to see them as World Series champions. At least, it shouldn't surprise anybody at this point because really, would anything Colorado did at this point be a shock?

The Rockies have won 20 of 21 overall beginning with a 13-0 shutout over the Marlins back on September 16. That hot streak has carried them

I think Colorado is just too hot right now, and won't be stopped by the D-Backs. Both teams have young talented position players, but I like the Rockies hitters better. Matt Holliday is the best hitter in this series, and his team has more overall depth throughout the lineup (more power too). Outside of Brandon Webb, I don't think any of Arizona's starters can shutdown the opposing lineup, and if Webb doesn't win both of his starts the D-Backs have no shot.

The four teams with the best records in baseball all play in the American League (Red Sox, Yankees, Angels, and Indians). This has led many to dismiss the quality of play in the Senior Circuit, but as evidenced by the World Series a year ago, that would be a big mistake. While there was no dominant team in the National League this year, through the first two games of the playoffs there was clearly one dominant division: the NL West.
