I’ve seen my share of both laughers and close games at the Stadium. It’s tough to make a call on which is a more enjoyable experience. I guess I’d have to go with the close game because it doesn’t matter who the opponent is. A close game gets the Stadium charged up no matter who is playing. Laughers only seem to be enjoyable start to finish when they’re playing someone like the Mets or Red Sox. And I think most of that is due to Yankee fans getting on the case of the obnoxious fans of other teams. You know, the kind that come into the Stadium thumping their chests, only to slink into their seats when their teams start taking a beating.

One good thing about laughers no matter who is playing, the crowd thins out early and it’s easier to leave at the end of the game.

I was at the game today.

I think that maybe it was the easiest Yankee win I ever attended. Usually they are scratching and clawing for the win when I go.

I had a lot of fun today, but I think that the close games might be more fun…especially if it is with a contending team. Only because comeback and the runs mean so much more…it makes it more exciting…The Stadium is more electric.

This game was fun, but the urgency adds something to it.
