A Quandary
Hi. I was hoping to get some advice/opinions about something. As everybody knows, A-Rod is one longball away from hitting his 500th homerun and this weekend the Yankees are going to be playing down in Baltimore. I was invited down by my dad earlier in the week to go to the games, however I've been checking the weather everyday and it looks like it is going to be a thunderstormy weekend down there. So, today is kind of the deciding day and I'm still up in the air. If I am going to go, I was planning on taking tomorrow (Friday) off from work so that I could be there in time for the game (7:05). Here's my mental list of pros/cons:
Pros
-After I catch A-Rod's 500th homerun, a representative from the Yankees will come find me and offer me all the riches in Yankeedom for the ball. I will inform them that Cooperstown is on line two and a furious bidding war will ensue. I'll probably favor the Yankees and spend the rest of the weekend yukking it up in the clubhouse with the guys and go home with a sweet bat signed by all of them. Maybe Joe Torre will let me kick Kyle Farnsworth in the junk.
- I would get to hang out with my dad at the Inner Harbor after the game. A-Rod will probably still be hounding me about the ball, so I'll make him be my wingman. I will own the Inner Harbor that night.
- My dad's girlfriend's son has Wii and I'm really good at Wii Bowling already. I bet I could beat him pretty bad.
Cons
- I think all of the games will probably get rained out.
- It's a five hour drive all by myself.
- I'm supposed to be helping my mom move this weekend and I feel kinda bad about that.
So...what'cha think?

I think you should go, you NEED to be there when he hits #500!
Ouch on the Mom bit, but she will understand your love for the Yankees and how important it is to be there, or she could just say it's just a stupid game and be really pissed that you are ditching her for your dad.

I've decided. I'm going. Woot!
Now I just gotta hope that A-Rod doesn't crank one tonight. That would blow.
Oh, and hope it doesn't rain. That would blow.

That's awesome you decided to go. Hope it was well worth the Turnpike-from-hell drive and you had good tunes to distract you from every exit having exactly the same coffee/food, etc.
