&#39;04 Series has given us some sloppy baseball

To this point -- Boston up 3-0 on St. Louis at Tuesday&#39;s press time -- the 2004 World Series has been a major league letdown. I had a feeling that the American League Championship Series was our true World Series.

Lose the choreography and dial back the frivolity. Thatâs my advice for the Mets as they resume the season. The Yankees, on the other hand, could use a bit of strut.

The White Sox&#39; 10-2 loss to the Twins at the Metrodome Tuesday night offered a nearly perfect mirror to an increasingly ugly season.

The Cleveland Indians have been inconsistent during the first two months of the season. It got them to .500.

As they gather in Yankee Stadium, the Red Sox and the Yankees and the ghosts and the curses, let&#39;s make sure we have this straight about the American League Championship Series.

This is how the AL West was un-won: Basically, the same way it was so often won. How ironic that the Oakland Athletics â-inners of the last three division championships with

Derek Lowe came through where Dave Ferriss failed. And Jim Lonborg. And Roger Clemens and Bruce Hurst, too.

It's a relatively recent story, and a familiar one. The Red Sox had two big sluggers in the middle of their lineup -- one a lefthanded hitter, the other a righty, both .300 hitters, one a former MVP, one who would soon be named one. They were the linchpins of a Sox team that had high hopes of playing deep ...

You&#39;ll have to excuse any misspellings in this column. I&#39;m in a bit of a hurry. I need to go call my insurance agent -- I think A-Rod&#39;s home run broke my car&#39;s windshield.

In a game of whose starting pitcher was worse, the Red Sox finally won something â-arely. Because both Boston&#39;s Bronson Arroyo and the Yankees&#39; Kevin Brown were awful last night

Experienced, power-laden lineups and a favorite&#39;s role haven&#39;t been a winning combination for the Braves in recent postseaons.

Maybe it&#39;s the memory of Curt Schilling sprinting off the mound during an 8-2 game, pulling down a high chopper, awkwardly throwing the ball into right field, then pulling up lame as my buddy Hench screamed &quot;He&#39;s grabbing his ankle, I think he hurt his

They had just been on the bottom side of the greatest el foldo in major league baseball playoff history. Maybe at some point down the road, that will irk the Yankees.

They have one more game to make their case. Are the 2004 Red Sox a happy-go-lucky (then suddenly unlucky) pack of frauds who failed to show up for the biggest series of their lives? Or are they full of the stuff that makes a team special and historic?

It was a good start for Royals right-hander Mike Wood. It was a bad finish for the bullpen. Closer Jeremy Affeldt gave up a three-run homer to Joe Crede in the ninth inning

The Oakland Athletics are baffled by their late-season collapse. It's so completely out of character. The A's are headed home for an even longer winter this year thanks to their problematic pitching in crunch time and a sputtering offense that caused this club to miss the playoffs for the first time in five years.

So what does a team do after it makes four errors in its first World Series game in 18 years and lives to tell about it?
