Subdued Celebration

The Red Sox held a quiet celebration yesterday.

Manager Terry Francona spoke about how proud he was of his Red Sox team, and the only other speaker was veteran reliever Mike Timlin, who seemed, in a few words, to epitomize the mood and the circumstance.

"I told them not to relax," Timlin said. "I want to win the division. A lot of guys have been here before and we don't want to get too excited. We wanted to recognize what we had accomplished but to make sure we all knew and all understood we had our eye on bigger things. This was just the first step."

That's good. They still have their eyes on the prize of home field advantage throughout the playoffs and the chance to pick their schedule in the first round.
