So, at last night's game, I FINALLY got a pic of my new, most favorite Yankee Stadium graphic of all time...
No, really, there's not much that tops this. (And since we're playing blog catch-up, just want to mention we were there for young Gleyber's first home run back in May, which was also a game they won on a walk-off Andujar single, and also Aaron Judge Jedi bobblehead/Star Wars night and therefore might be the most eventful game this season.)
(FLASHBACK: May the Fourth was with Gleyber, y'all)
It was nice to see the Yanks 1) actually beat the Orioles, because COME ON and 2) do well offensively with Judge and Sanchez down. This is a potent lineup when it's on, and an absolute joy to watch when the switch is flipped. I still have reservations about some of the pitching, however, but we'll see.
We were also still trying to wrap our heads around all the trade deadline stuff, including Austin's exit, which led to Quote of the Night honors for Erica (who was "bleeding internally" from her deep-tissue massage): "He had anger issues, yes. He just needed more hugs."
Unrelated to on-the-field play, one of my favorite additions to the "game experience" is 80s in the 8th, where an 80s tune is played and I feel very seen and understood by the Yankee scoreboard operators. Last night was Keep On Loving You by REO Speedwagon, which is great, but I'll fight anyone with my hot take that Take It On the Run is the superior REO song. But not as superior as El DeBarge's Rhythm of the Night, which was the choice a few weeks ago and Steph and I basically karaoke'd our way through the entire thing (okay, we karaoke to a lot of songs. Keep that up, Yankee Stadium scoreboard operators. We like you.)
