That seems like a rather odd place to leave your 500 dollar phone...
Anyway, here's the problem... if you apply power to a device that was dropped into liquid, before it is completely dry, the voltage is very likely to scatter about from trace to trace. Water is conductive... water and voltage is a bad mixture. You need to get the battery out of that thing now, and let it COMPLETELY dry before reinstalling it. Even if the phone looks dry, WAIT LONGER. Water can't evaporate very fast inside the unit. Since you voided the warranty by dropping it in the drink anyway, you may as well locate a driver to remove the screws in the back so that you can perhaps blow air into the device to aid in drying.
Basically it comes down to this. If you were impatient and were too quick to put the battery back into it, or plugged it in it's likely that the whole screen is damaged (probably from stray voltage) This is when you pray you have the TEP plan with Sprint and pay the insurance company the 50 bones to get a new one shipped out.
