i think they deserve it. making the playoffs in the MLB is a bigger deal than in any other sport, only 4 teams are in from the AL, and plus with all of the injuries over the past year, also them doing it without manny. this is a big year, homegrown players moving up into big roles (youk replacing manny in the four and possibly having a 30-100 year, pedroia is an MVP candidate, homegrown pitching-papelbon, masterson, lester, delcarmen-) i think they have alot to celebrate.
AND their celebrating the fact that they can defend there title, and possibly be the first team to repeat since the yankees in 99-00
