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.

10:12 pm: This is it. If the Red Sox are ever going to do something, it&#39;s got to be now. It&#39;s the bottom of the fifth inning in Game 4. Two outs.

The Boston Red Sox might try to defend their World Series with an even wackier group than the self-proclaimed &quot;bunch of idiots&quot; that ended the franchise&#39;s 86-year dynasty of disappointment.

If you spend, they will come. It can be done. You can turn around a franchise and head it in the right direction in a few days. The Arizona Diamondbacks were the worst team in baseball in 2004, losing 111 games.

To battle your way down the interminable ramps leading to the exits at Yankee Stadium after Friday night&#39;s game, you would have thought the days of a last-place finish in a 10-team league from 1966 were back to haunt us.
