Spoilers

The Colorado Rockies had a great chance at moving up in the NL West down the stretch, as they play every one involved in the race. They also host the Marlins at home this weekend. With the second worst record in the NL, Colorado should have been looking to sweep to set themselves up for a strong stretch drive. Instead, they try to avoid being swept today, and it looks like their playoff chances are down to slim.

But Florida is the kind of team that can surprise you that way. They're a poor team with some great players. Miguel Cabrera took charge of the offense last night, picking up three hits, including a three-run homer to amass five RBI on the evening. That was half the Florida run production. Hanley Ramirez reached base three times and scored twice. There are enough stars on that team to make them dangerous, and the Rockies found out the hard way this weekend.

It was a great run for Colorado, and while they still have some hope, Don Pardo is ready to give them the home version of the game and a one year supply of Turtle Wax.
