I'm not big on Champagne, but I'd take along a bottle of Cristal to pop for when the boat comes to the rescue.

When they do (win the division), I'll pop open a bottle of champagne.

Think champagne, drink champagne!

It's a little different circumstances, but you know what? When you pop the champagne, you pop the champagne. And this is just the beginning.

We have kind of a tradition. The first bottle of champagne, you look around, who is the most appropriate, and I think there were only two or three guys that had not popped champagne. By consensus of the players, [they felt] Abe should pop it. That's about as good of recognition from the team as you can get.

He's in a little bit different boat than all of the other pitchers here, but we've said all along we're not going to rush any of our pitchers. We're not going to abuse them.
