Gone East

Are you ready for some baseball?

Washington Post about the Red Sox' Wild Card win celebration:

Although a more buttoned-down (read: boring) outfit like the New York Yankees or the Atlanta Braves -- both of whom have much practice at celebrating -- might scoff at such an enthusiastic display, the Red Sox were not being irreverent or even overeager.

They are simply one of the most fun, most joyous teams to come along in years, and sometimes they have so much fun they just don't know what to do with themselves -- which is why, with baseball's postseason set to begin today, the Red Sox are the team of choice for any neutral fan who likes baseball and parties.
