Something has been odd this offseason. The celebrations in the locker rooms have seemed dull. I just finished watching the Braves/Giants game and the locker room seems empty. From the live camera's, the room looks huge, and it seems like there are 5 media members per member of the team, but it just seems like no one is there.
After thinking about this for a while, I think I have a few theories behind this:
2) The media's obsessive coverage of everything in this day and age now shows us the first part of the party, which is just everyone walking in
3) A combination of the first two or
4) Did Players used to party after the Division Series?
My memory is going bad regarding playoff series. I didn't watch the playoffs in 2007, 2008 and 2009. In 2006 I was so excited the Mets made it to the NLCS, I wasn't really paying attention to the after game party, and before 2006 is essentially a memory wash. So is this a recent phenemeon that they bring in the bubbly for making into the Championship Series? It makes sense for getting into the Playoffs, and the World Series, but I feel like its unnecessary at this step in the playoffs.
Thoughts?
