The Rockies May Never Lose Again !

After defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, Colorado manager Clint Hurdle boldly stated that "the Rockies will never lose again  - ever !!"

While the Rockies are the first team since the 1976 Reds to start the playoffs with a 10-0 record, there are few that believe the Rockies will be able to live up to Hurdle's lofty expectations.

Responding to Hurdle's comments, analysts at SABR have argued that it is statistically more likely that the Rockies will never advance to the World Series again.

SABR geeks did note that Hurdle had probably assembled the most successful pitching staff with players having either "F" and / or "J" as their initials - Jeff Francis, Ubaldo Jimenez, Franklin Morales, Josh Fogg, Brian Fuentes, and Jeremy Affeldt.
