Let's see if they can!
description
Mike Timlin emerged first...
description
... followed by Kevin Youkilis...
description
description
... and Mike Lowell.
description
description
Uh oh--here comes trouble...
description
in the form of Dustin Pedroia
description
and Alex Cora!
description
Coco looks suave as ever.
description
PAPI!!
description
Artsy shot. ^_~
description
description
Josh Beckett refused to let go of Schilling until he'd emptied the bottle.
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
Timlin: "Hey! We get T-shirts!"
description
description
Blurry, but too joyful not to post.
description
description
description
description
Tim Wakefield comes over to spray us.
description
Beckett had the most wonderful dopey smile.
description
This rendered me speechless for a bit.
description
He actually flung a champagne bottle into the air in a gorgeous spiral, but I was too stunned to raise the camera!
description
Papelbon looked like a crazed ballet dancer.
description
description
"Ladies and gentlemen, your closer!"
description
I actually yelped when I saw Daisuke--he was adorable!
description
description
description
Jacoby Ellsbury and Clay Buchholz take it all in.
description
description
description
description
"...Rookie."
description
description
description
description
Papi is getting the first and third base sides to compete in yelling for him...
description
... unaware (maybe) that someone is sneaking up on him!
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
Now it's Schilling's turn to pour on Jon Lester.
description
description
Including a full can of cold beer down his back, inside his shirt!
description
description
description
description
description
description
Tek joins the celebration late and is immediately surrounded.
description
There's a price to pay for heading home, Captain!
description
"Eh... it's my glove hand. It'll heal by February."
description
description
description
Mischief, thy name is Bobby Kielty.
description
Buck eggs him on.
description
description
description
Still speechless.
description
Mike Lowell calling to mind Red Auerbach's Celtics celebrations.
description
description
description
description
description
Alex Cora: "Who is that case-headed man?"
description
description
description
"Kiss me, you nutcase!"
description

description
description
description
description
description
description
"OKIE DOKIE!"
description
description
description
description
description
description
"Hey! Hey! Alcohol Compliance! This little kid has a beer!"
description
This really needed video, but Youk was really workin' it.
description
description
description
description
Buck: "Hey! Those people are still dry!"
description
"Let's go!"
description
"And somebody save some for that pesky redhead with the camera!" Jacoby did--see below!
description
description
description
description
description
I don't think I've ever snapped Varitek so happy!
description
description
description
description
Commander Cora manning the booth!
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
Eric Hinske gazes up.
description
description
Cora puts on "Sweet Caroline."
description
"Good times never seemed so good!"
description
"SO GOOD!"
description
"SO GOOD!"
description
"SO GOOD!"
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
"Shipping up to Boston!"
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
description
Kevin Cash emerges, dripping...
description
... and I have the feeling "Mischief" Kielty was involved.
description
description
Apparently the training staff has to maintain some decorum.
description
description
description
description
description
"Budweiser. Hmmn. I don't really want this...."
description
"Hey, there's that chick with the camera again..." (He flung it high over our heads in a beer-spraying spiral!)
description
description
Cashie's not just thinking...
description
... he and Eric Gagne have apparently spotted something very cute on the ground!
description
All together: "Awwwwwwwwwwww!"
description

description
Theo!

Posing with Lucchino and the crew.

Jim Davis photo--Wake sprays us with champagne. I'm about halfway down the line.

Reuters photo--Oh, Jacoby, you can douse me and the camera anytime you'd like! ^_^
