LMFAO has a new song out called “Champagne Showers.”
That tune should be the theme for the MLB postseason.
Every time a team does anything good they go into the locker room and spray each other with cheap bubbly.
A team clinches a division — champagne shower. They win their first playoff series — champagne shower. They win a pennant — champagne shower.
What is going to happen next? Popping bottles after winning their first spring training game?
I get the tradition and I think it is awesome.
I especially like when the Texas Rangers sprayed each other with ginger ale in respect to former MVP Josh Hamilton, who is a recovering alcoholic.
The tradition is just a little overdone.
Teams need to find new, cooler ways to celebrate. Like when the Arizona Diamondbacks won the division and the team jumped into the pool.
The Milwaukee Brewers could have all slid down their cool slide.
Teams need to save the champagne for a truly special occasion. And that moment is winning the World Series.
Stop spraying each other with cheap Mumm’s every time a team wins, and save some Crystal for the ultimate prize.
