    Should teams celebrate after winning a Wild Card spot?

    ESPN was saying that fans don't think teams should celebrate after winning a Wild card game to enter into the Postseason.

    Fuk it, why not?

    Edit, thought you meant celebrating to get to the wild card game. A little celebrating after winning the game no problem for me.

    Celebrating a wild card play in game win is absolutely ok....

    What isn't ok is fans of the losing team saying they "made the playoffs" No you didn't make the playoffs...You lost the play in game...

    mlb players have it in their contract that they have to celebrate walkoffs and playoff victories

    even if someone you totally hate just hit a walkoff hr in a meaningless game... you still have to jump around at home plate like an imbecile

    NCAA tournament field is 68 teams. Every NCAA game is 1 and done...This in my opinion is much different, as baseball PLAYOFFS are series.

    wild-card teams used to play a series ... so you're saying a wild-card team in 2011 was in the playoffs but a wild-card team in 2017 isn't in the playoffs?

    can we at least call them in the postseason since it's not the regular season?

    Sure you should celebrate as you made it to the post season even if it is just for one game..

    It's further then most other teams went in the league.. It's an accomplishment and reason to celebrate for a short time.. Why not?

    I don't think it's too bad, but I saw the San Francisco Giants celebrating a win during September. Some dude got Gatorade dumped on him after the game.

    Meanwhile, the Giants were 40 games out of first place. I thought that was weird.

    It is part of their contracts to get some sort of excitement going to somewhat fill seats. Has nothing to do with their actual excitement of winning the game....

    Absolutely.......teams celebrate with champagne when clinching a playoff spot, clinching the division. So why not winning a 1 game playoff series? Absolutely you celebrate....162 game season and to win a 1 and done....all day!
