Why the Rockies will beat the Phillies
My perspective (and from the Rockies' perspective) of why the Rox will upend the defending champs. Part of a series of articles with the same title (just with different team names inserted, obviously) at The Hardball Times.
Oh, and the article was written before the news about Jorge De La Rosa was made official.
Enjoy!
