In case you missed it, the Red Sox finished embarrassing the Rockies on Sunday night, and newly-born baseball fanatic college fans started embarrassing themselves to celebrate.

Though the Freep notes correctly that these were just baby riots compared to the great car burning bonanzas of 2004, that might be owed less to restraint and more to the millions of terrifying, V For Vendetta-looking police that were on the streets.

Still...

37 arrests?! Listen, people. It's getting to the point where Boston wins something like every year. Let's stop acting like it's a surprise - not everything is worth a riot. Civil rights? That was worth a riot. Rich guys beating other rich guys? Not so much.

Let's grow up here. Being so drunkenly exuberant every time something good happens makes us look like amateurs. Do you scream "yippee!" and run to Kenmore Square after every sexual encounter? I know I stopped doing that once I turned 22.
