Some things that worry me:
1) Holliday's agent; Scott Boras, means that Holliday will likely go elsewhere to get 'Zito-esque' money. The fact that he participated in the Homerun derby against Hurdle's wishes really doesn't bode well for Holliday fans.
2)Taveras re-joining the team; baseball is all about superstition when it comes to winning streaks. And no matter how good your previously injured players were, you do not let them start playing amidst one of the greatest and most-important winning streaks in Rockies' history.
3)Francis on 'Sports Illustrated' cover; see above regarding superstition, and I'm not entirely sure I buy this one but it still doesn't help. I do however believe in the Madden Football curse.
Some things that hamper those worries:
1) Luckily, the Rockies overall are too young and naive to believe in superstitions and let it get to them (Francis didn't even know what the Sports Illustrated curse was, silly Canadian); the exception of course is Helton who is probably sacrificing a live chicken as we speak.
2) The Rockies have 2 'Mini-Holliday's' in the making in the forms of Seth Smith and Ian Stewart.
3) The Rockies are really really good.
