Really is weird. Please let us know what they end up doing in the way of comp.
I have to admit that I got this part of the story wrong. Mr. Big Wig's story was substantially shot down by Mrs. Big Wig this evening -- they DID in fact sit next to Ms. Diaz at the game but she (& presumably her BF and the other celebs -- aka Yankees) drove back to Tampa after they pulled the starters after six innings.
I agree that this episode is very odd indeed -- were it not for reading the written reservation confirmation and subsequent phone conversations she made from my own living room, I would be hard pressed to believe that there was not more to the story. I will definitely let you know how this ends.
