Doesn't it seem a bit absurd to have a champagne-spraying celebration after you lose?

Not really. It was all the hard work they put in over the season that won them the title !!! WOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!
And now we have Sheffield and Matsui for the post-season. Life is good right now.

I have to agree w/ Suev. Although I'm a fan and their title was inevitible since the 5 game series at Boston, it's still a little strange throwing a party after a loss. I will say this, they got there after sustaining quite a few injuries to important players. Yes, I know their resources allow them to have punch in the lineup regardless but they got a lot of support from players who were newbies technically. And you can add that playing in the environment that they do (51k+ even when tampa bay is there) is not exactly easy.
I would like to see another subway series this year. I would consider each of their seasons a failure if there wasn't. I know that most of the country wouldn't give a shit, but baseball is fairly localized anyway.

playing in Yankee Stadium isn't like playing anywhere else save Boston. The pressure is usually immense as are the crowds. You can go to a Yankee-Devil Ray game and there will be over 51,000 people in the stands. Some players thrive on it while a lot will choke as a result.That is what make players like Wang, Cano, Cabrera, etc special for this team.
Anyone can play on a team under the radar whom are never in a pennant race in front of 18,000 spectators.

I hope they were careful with the celebrating...A-Rod may have gotten some in his eyes and gone into a fit of despair.

Thats pitiful to be celebrating a eastern division title, just act like you been there before. Ask the Atlanta Braves how impressive it is to win a division title.

For the Braves, it just got old. I'm happy that we're out of the race (well, I really hope we're out of the wild card...haven't kept up). That many years in a row to go and only win...what...once?...screw that. You don't deserve to go.
