The Globe announces that it’s going to charge online readers, “betting that readers will be willing to pay for an online product that offers an innovative, inviting reading experience.”

I wouldn’t bet on that.

After all, when you click on the article to try to learn more about these “exciting” changes, you’re taken to a registration form sponsored by Coldwell Banker.

There are times when it seems that the Globe is run by morons. I’m sure that’s not true, though.

In any event, the deal is this: Boston.com will be free, BostonGlobe.com will cost $4 a week. That’s a lot of money for a digital newspaper. Especially a bad one.

That said, here’s one Globe story I like: “It’s ‘time to panic’ for Red Sox.”

Or, as the locals might say: Go Pats!
