The Chicago Cubs Colorado Rockies, as mentioned earlier in this blog, have won the NL Pennant. That Arizona and Colorado played the NLCS isn't suprising, since they had to squeeze the Padres out of the playoffs via 13 innings and a bad call in game 163. So, when three teams from the same division qualify for two playoff spots, that division should win a pennant. Somewhat surprising was Colorado sweeping the NLCS from the wildcard spot; it seems the Rockies are, in fact, freerolling their way through the playoffs. It will be interesting to see if the long rest actually brings the Rockies back to earth prior to the World Series.
