It was one of the most horrible performances in World Series history but it has not received enough attention because the Red Sox finally won a World Series. The 2004 St. Louis Cardinals won 105 games, scored the most and allowed the fewest runs in the National League, had the second best ERA in the majors, and scored all of 12 runs while being swept in the World Series. They collapsed completely.
