You have to think the Colorado Rockies are feeling pretty good about themselves right now. They completed a sweep of the Yankees at Coors Field, a week after taking 2 of 3 from the Red Sox at Fenway. Taking 5 of 6 from two teams with a total payroll of more than $340 million is damnned impressive.

The Rockies, by contrast, have a payroll of $54.4 million, and $16.6 million of that is taken up by Todd Helton.

The lead is back up to 10.5 games. Go Sox!
