The Colorado Rockies completed a historic sweep of the New York Mets yesterday.

Why is the sweep historic? Well, according to the Associated Press, the Rockies are "the first team in more than half a century to sweep two New York clubs in the same year... The last team to sweep series from two New York clubs during the regular season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, was the Milwaukee Braves, who whitewashed the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants in 1956. After moving to Los Angeles, the Dodgers swept the Yankees in the 1963 World Series after sweeping the Mets four times during the season." If nothing else, at least Colorado fans have this feat to hang their hats on, right?

6 games out of the wild card ... yes they better run with this feat and be joyful.

Wow, how strange... It seems the Rox can beat NY, but nobody else. Remember, in between these two New York series, Colorado lost two Toronto, Houston, and Chicago.
