Morning Wood - Rockie Mountain High

Colorado Rockies 6 Arizona Diamondbacks 4
Is this team capable of losing? The Rockies have now won 21 of 22 and they're going to the World Series after sweeping the Diamondbacks aside. Matt Holliday's three-run homer in the 4th capped a six-run inning, and they just held on from there. Arizona actually made the game interesting when Chris Snyder homered in the 8th to make it 6-4, but the DBacks couldn't finish. "It's unbelievable. I never dreamed I'd have this opportunity," Holliday said. "With this group of guys, I'm so excited to be a part of it. This MVP award goes 24 other directions." Now those 25 guys have to sit around for a week waiting for the American League to finish. Which is really the last thing this team wants to do right now, considering how well they're playing.
Cleveland Indians 4 Boston Red Sox 2
The Indians didn't call in their swarm of insects to distract the Red Sox on Monday night, but they won anyway. Jake Westbrook pitched six shutout innings before allowing a two-run homer to Jason Varitek in the 7th. The Indians were jump started by Kenny Lofton two run blast in the 2nd inning, and followed that up with two more in the 5th. Cleveland's bullpen was able to hold on to the two run lead, and now the Indians have a 2-1 advantage going into game 4 tonight.
