Party On?
Hooray! The Yanks clinched the A.L. East crown last night and whooped it up in the clubhouse. I watched the celebration and am left wondering if they weren't a bit overzealous. After all, it's only the division title - true, a trip to the post-season - and that's not the Yankees goal. If you're the Detroit Tigers, coming off a 119-loss season in recent years, then you can trip the light fantastic. But if you're the Bronx Bombers and you're expected not just to make the playoffs but contend for the whole shooting match, then maybe you tone it down a tad. The time to let it loose is when you make it to the World Series.
