Champagne? Really?

I know I'm a day or two late on this, but there was no sports on (other than preseason NBA, and some random college football game) so I didn't have much else to talk about, and this irked me a little.  The Boston Red Sox have won approximately 10,000 postseason games in the last 5 years or so.  They have also won 2 World Series.  So I found the fact that they celebrated a ALDS victory with a crazy champagne shower to be ridiculous.  You don't see this in any sport besides baseball, I suppose because you can play baseball with a crazy hangover and still be effective (see David Wells perfect game).  You don't see an NFL team do this after a Wild Card victory.  You don't see an NBA team do this with a first round victory.  You don't see Tiger Woods do this after leading the Master's after one round.  So why the fuck would Boston celebrate winning absolutely nothing?  To an extent, I can understand Tampa because it is their first ever playoff series win.  But Boston?  Why stop there?  Why not just have a permanent tarp in the locker room for champagne?  Why not celebrate beating the Royals 12-3 on June 2nd?  The win means just as much.

So to fill the void last night, I watched about 10 minutes of the presidential debate.  I just have to say that after McCain referring to Obama as "that one", I am greatly looking forward to the next debate.  I think it is on 10/16, which means we are only 8 days away from one or more of the following scenarios happening: 1) McCain calling Obama "boy"; 2) McCain dropping an N-bomb; 3) McCain falling asleep while answering a question; 4) McCain falling and breaking a hip.  I'm moving to Canada if McCain wins.
