Opening day

Today's the rescheduled opening day for the Yankees, hopefully there won't be another rainout.

While waiting out the rain delay yesterday, Yes Network had a little special about my beloved boys in the bullpen - the three amigos - Chamberlain, Kennedy, and Hughes. Apparently Phil Hughes has a blog! Since I was snuggled into bed with my laptop anyway, I fired off an email to the account listed on the page, wishing him luck and such. I also said that I'd be happy to buy him a drink after his first win, linking him to my facebook page. I didn't expect anything of it, as he probably gets tons of these a day.

And then, this morning, I open my gmail:

Hey Sharon:
I really don't know if I can accept a drink from a total stranger. Wanna get together this weekend so we're not strangers anymore? hahaha.
Call me. [number redacted]

Phil
P.s.: Nice pics on facebook. The rock sign is my favorite. METAL!!!

Oh, my giddy aunt.

So, naturally I'm going to call him. But do I do it before the game, or after? Do I call during and leave him a voicemail? I don't want to distract him, but this needs to happen. I wonder where he's going to want to go. At least there's a day game on Saturday, so he'll probably want to get together early so he can be rested for Sunday's game (which I'm going to - maybe I'll get to see him pitch!).
