00:00What were your thoughts about the celebration after clinching yesterday?
00:03Why should they not be allowed to celebrate?
00:06You're not celebrating that you staggered in and you had a bad week.
00:11You're celebrating six weeks, six months of grinding through so much stuff.
00:19And winning matters.
00:22Celebrating the winning matters.
00:25Appreciating what you did matters.
00:27I mean, I understand how fans think.
00:32It was hard to watch that last week and feel good about anything that you saw.
00:38But they're allowed to do that.
00:41And in fact, the manager told them, I want you to celebrate this long and hard and enjoy it.
00:50He's a guy who, as a player, didn't get to do that much.
00:55He got to the postseason one time in the very last season of his career.
01:01And they got bounced in the first round in a brutal series.
01:04And he understands what that means.
01:08And fans think different than players think.
01:13The fact that the first song in the celebration that they played in that clubhouse was,
01:17I will survive, that tells you a lot.
