There is some drama in tonight's potential World Series finale. Should the Red Sox win by at least 10 runs—that's 12 baserunning errors in Cardinal-ese—they will win the most lopsided playoff sweep in baseball history. Here's the current list with the 2004 World Series listed as of the third game. Note that the Sox are already on it for the Angels series. Also note the dominance the Yanks had over the Rangers in 1998-98: 6-0 in two series with 23 Yankee runs to just 2 for the Rangers (!):
