Last night, the Boston Red Sox clinched a berth in the post-season. The Red Sox secured their shot at the elusive World Series title by capturing the American League's Wild Card. However, by all accounts the Sox partied like, well, like they had won something.
Sure, many of the Sox offered up the traditional "We haven't done anything yet" speech, but that makes me wonder if they have poured champagne and beer all over each other after every victory this year? Because if they haven't, what's up with the party? (If they have partied like this all year, they are lucky to still be standing let alone winning games.) Securing your second place finish behind your long-time rivals, the New York Yankees, hardly seems party-worthy.
If the Sox were the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, their opponents last evening, and the D-Rays had made the post-season for the first time in franchise history, I would have spotted them a party. However, these Red Sox were built to win playoff games, not celebrate Wild Card clinchers. Having a party for such a non-event seems wrong. If they lose anywhere prior to the World Series it will seem even more laughable. (Trust me, Yankee fans are laughing right now. Really loud, too.)
Yeah, I'm probably making too much out of it. I readily admit to having a soft spot for the Red Sox. (Maybe it's the same reason I am a Detroit Lions fan. It's a misery loves company thing.) Maybe I'm just too darn cynical. What's a little alcohol and loud music anyway? Nothing really, I'd just prefer seeing the Sox do this in late October not late September.
