"The champagne tastes just as good on the road as it does at home," Ryan Garko said in Cleveland's clubhouse.

I can only hope this has woken the half-sleeping giant that is the Boston Red Sox. Nice going, Garko!

I know this is a little off-topic, but do any of them actually DRINK the champagne? It seems like they just shake it up and spray it all over each other. Hope they don't buy good champagne.

NG, I think so. But in this case, I think someone needs to pull the rookie aside and tell him things like:

You don't light a victory cigar until the contest is over
You don't book hotel rooms in the city where the SB is being played until AFTER the AFC championship game
You don't give the other team bulletin board material when you have to go back to their house and win a game

That's not what I expect to hear coming from an organization like the Indians ... their cockiness is going to be their downfall if this reflects the teams attitude. You took one at our house? Big deal. We took one at yours, against your ace. Now you're back at the Fens.

Get your popcorn out, fellas.

I think he was talking about afterwards, when the Indians players lick it all off of each other.

Unfortunately, this is not the Pats we're talking about. The Red Stockings don't respond to bulletin board material. The only person on the team that cares what's said about him is Curt, and he responds with the printed word, rather than the thrown ball.

I am sure that Manny will be glad to share some of his bottle with Garko.

Only thing a comment like that does is put pressure on his own team, which can be helpful to us of course. Bulletin Board doesn't really apply in baseball. Getting pumped up can actually hurt you. It's a game of concentration and focus.

You don't print 2007 World Series on your stupid rally towels. That will be Cleveland's undoing.

What if the league tells you to?
