Poll: When the Twins clinch the WC, how should they celebrate?

[Doubles]

Would be interesting to know if there is any sort of pattern or link between how a team celebrates and how they do in subsequent series'.  I'm hoping the Twins keep it tame and stay focused on what they need to do to beat the Yankees.

Cleveland celebrated their AL Central division title with the bubbly....

I think it's pretty universal. Baseball is a very long season, and only 10 teams get the opportunity to play in a postseason game. Let loose and have fun! Celebrate the accomplishments over a long 6 months.

How can you have a hangover game if the boys don't get hangovers?

[Danchat]

Where is the Rally Monkey option?!

[spinowner]

I didn't vote either way, but the full-on celly is traditional for clinching the postseason. However, it can get ridiculous if we let it. I can think of ten possible milestones to celebrate: clinching a postseason berth, clinching home field in the WC game, clinching a division title, clinching home field in the LDS, clinching home field in the LCS (if the team were to advance), clinching home field in the WS (if the team were to advance), winning the WC game, winning the LDS, winning the LCS and winning the WS.

Save it for the World Series. Act like you've been there before......OK.... just pretend you've been there before...ok... try to imagine what it would have been like to have been there before.

Party if you win the wild card game

[Whammy]

If I'm the Cubs or Red Sox I don't celebrate clinching the 2nd wild card spot, but if I'm a team that lost 103 games last year and is full of young players, you're damn right I celebrate.

I totally get celebrating a division title.  I guess I'm wondering if a distinction should be made between making the WC game.  Team that wins that, I'd have no issue with celebrating that.

[Mike Sixel]

I'd hate to work on some of your teams, if you never celebrate until the project is over.....

[D. Hocking]

I think the answer is obvious of how they should celebrate is obvious:

I can see champagne and craziness for making the World Series or for Winning the World Series. All the other celebrations are fine but maybe they should be just a little more reserved, sorta like you're happy but you realize you haven't won the WS quite yet.

The same goes for the walk off celebrations...maybe what we see during the regular season should be a little more reserved but in the playoffs, yeah, go nuts!

Making the playoffs is a big deal! Celebrate and have a good time. 

[Monkeypaws]

The Yankees full out celebrated with bubbly when they clinched as well. The Dbacks jumped in the ballpark pool. Maybe the lads will develop a taste for it, so I'd say enjoy the moment, and remember the feeling.

[old nurse]

Many of the past Twins teams seemed like once they had their clinching celebration they quit playing with an edge.  When your season's goal is a WC then party hardy. Jerry Kramer once said on the Packers that they would congratulate each other on clinching but there was no wild party. Winning is what you were supposed to do.

It would be hilarious to see them throwing drumsticks and mashed potatoes and gravy all over the locker room

Worked through lunch and soooo hungry.... 

[twinsnorth49]

Ffs, have some fun and enjoy the moment. Life's too short, celebrate every chance you get, who gives a crap what anyone thinks.

 

Then do it again after winning the WC game.

[Twins33]

Baseball is hard. Celebrate like crazy, especially after the outcome of last season. It's not like they're going to forget that they still have more work to do/games to win.

[Doomtints]

Surely you mean WS and not WC.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Surely you mean WS and not WC.

Both

This thread shouldn't exist until it's too late.

• Reach the playoffs = Big-time celebration after a 162-game season. You've helped eliminate 20 teams.

Win the WC game = Regular-season win celebration, ratcheted up a bit. It was just one game. Maybe at the level of a regular-season walk-off win.

Win the ALDS = Hug-fest on the mound.

Win the ALCS = Pig pile on the mound, being careful not let to Bartolo jump on last.

Win the WS = Bigger-time celebration, complete with parade.

[Squirrel]

Indiana Twin is going to bring us all donuts from the Amish bakery when we clinch the playoff spot.

I celebrate during the planning process of a project myself, because optimism:-)

[DaveW]

Full on celebration. Not a lot to celebrate in Twinsville or Minnesotaville in quite some time.

 

Enjoy it kids! You ALL earned it.

[DaveW]

This!

 

Even if the Twins lose 15-0 in the WC game, I will still always remember this as one of the best and enjoyable seasons I have ever followed them. Definitely top 5, top 3 if they somehow beat the Yankees

Most of the players haven't made the playoffs yet, so celebrate now, and save the celebrations for when you reach the top 4 AL teams in later seasons.

It's a long season.  Celebrate while you can and get back to work.  Bring on the bubbly!
