Hit the Road!
4 04 2008Was just looking over the schedule. After this series against Tampa we go to Kansas City, Boston, and down to Tampa. Then we come home for 2 games. Then back on the road against Baltimore, Chicago, and Cleveland. I’ve already started packing my suitcase just to make sure I have enough stuff to get through all those days.
Also, The Office is back next Thursday! So excited. I’ve heard about 10 different rumors about what the first episode is going to be about. The anticipiation is killing me. Time to grab some lunch. Talk to you guys later.
Hey Phil, I’ll be at all 3 games in Chicago!! I hope you’re lined up to pitch!!
People at my work were just talking about The Office next week. I can’t wait.
Good luck Phil and thanks for the heads up on the Office. Can’t wait. Saw “Darryl” out at LAX not too long ago when I was traveling on business.
Hey Phil, you are outstanding last night, it was really awesome to see you finally on that Yankee stadium mound again after a scary offseason of wondering what was going to happen. Quick question though, the YES gun had your velocity at 89-91 on the fastball all night, was that accurate because it was really cold or something or was the YES gun slow?
Finally, next week’s office episode is about Michael inviting everyone in the office to his house for a dinner party and he doesnt invite dwight.
Phil,
GREAT game last night! I couldn’t have asked for a more exciting first game of the season to be at! So do you get excited about the long road trips to see different places, or does all the traveling wear you down?
Hey Phil,
You were amazing last night!!! I thought for sure you were gonna pitch a no hitter after the first 3 innings. But still, you put up a great show and kept us in the game even though you didn’t get much run support.
I also can’t wait for the Office. Maybe a good idea for a contest would be to guess what the next Office episode will be about.
Also, other contest ideas could be Yankee stats for a certain game (such as pitching line, total hits, total runs, etc.).
It’s gonna be a great season and I can’t wait till your next start. You rock!!!!
GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
solid start last night phil
Great job last night Phil
You need to check out officetally.com for all your Office needs
Also, quick question:
What’s it like in the dugout during games? Is it all baseball talk or are there some random conversations (perhaps about the Office)?
Great job last night. I wish the bats had woken up a couple of innings earlier so you could have gotten a W out of it. McGowan pitched very well, too.
I can’t wait for The Office! I heard they’re planning a spin-off that’s gonna debut after next super bowl and then play in the spot after The Office at 9:30 in 2009.
I wonder if it’ll be any good…should be interesting. I think it’ll be tough to live up to The Office though
That really is a long stretch of road games. I’m hoping to see you guys up at the stadium at some point this yr (whenever you finally get back).
Nice to hear from you–great job last night!
good stuff last night franchise …keep up the good work
Great game. Unfortunate that the offense couldnt get that run earlier. Great location on your pitches. It is amazing how great it is to see you young guys out there leading this team.
By the way I have you, Joba and IPK on my fantasy team.
Yankee Destiny!

How cool is it that you are young, cool and best of all: playing for the New York Yankees! I think it’s awesome that you are where you are. Thanks for keeping it real and for not letting it get to your head. You are a great role model for kids and adults everywhere. Never change!
The Office is BACK! The wait has been painful, right?
Great outing yesterday… thanks for the fantasy points!!
As everyone said, awesome job pitching last night, Phil.
I’ve been lost without The Office. Thank God it’s coming back.
Loved how uncomfortable you made Frank Thomas look last night! Great start!
Great game last night!! I was so excited to see you pitch, and you did a fabulous job. And, I’m so ready for The Office to come back!!! I’ve heard it’s about Michael inviting Jim & Pam and Angela & Andy over for dinner with him and Jan, but whatever the episode’s about, it’s gonna be hilarious. Can’t wait!
Eat well, young padawan.
You were awesome last night. if you pitch like that all year…damn, the sky is the limit.
Why do the schedule makers hate the yankees so much. I feel like they screw you guys more than any other team in baseball! How do you guys deal with that?
IPK? I thought it was Ike? Which is it again?
Anyway whatever his nickname is, I hope Ian does as great as you did
Hey Phil, great game last night! I was there to see you pitch and it was a strong way for you to start the year. The crowd was really pulling for you and pretty boisterous for just the third game of the year! You gotta love it!
Also, I hope you saw Kevin Keirnan’s article about you in the Post today! Very complimentary!!
IPK = Ian Paul Kennedy, dood.
Hey Phil, great game last night. I hear the new office episode is the office going to michael’s house for a dinner party. what have you heard?
Congrats on the game last night.
Great Game last night the pitch to get Wells was incredible. You don’t see him take many hacks like that. Good luck next time out.
Great job last night!
I am so glad The Office is back next week. I’ve been dying for new episodes!
Great game, Phil! I was at the game and it gave me goosebumps to hear and to yell “HUGES” when you had two strikes. You pitched great! Best wishes!
HUGHES! Sorry!
Great outing last night! I’ll be there to watch Kennedy tomorrow, hopefully he’s as good out there as you were. GO YANKS!
err - I mean Pettite…I think…
Hi Phil,
Great game last night! Nice ‘n crisp! Sure glad you weren’t traded for Santana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You pitched great last night Phil. :o)
Great game. Your curve ball was nasty, and control was sweet. Who thought Joba would get a W before you and Ian? Any bets in the locker room on the 1st win? Keep havin fun and we’ll see you on the road.
You rocked last night! Awesome Awesome!! Road trips must be tough…just don’t forget your iPod!
You probably didn’t see my comment from last night but I mentioned that there’s rumors going around about a spinoff of The Office. Have you heard??http://perezhilton.com/2008-04-02-the-office-spinoff
Phil,
You need to check out http://www.officetally.com
It’s all inside info on the office.
I heard the same things about the office–that Michael and Jan invite everyone over but only Jim and Pam come. Sounds like good-old fashioned office awkardness.
Good game last night Phil!
question: what type of bear is best?
cant wait for the office, its def gonna be a good season
last night was really good game. i was FREEZING sitting up top in the tier box but it was all worth it with a good win. i took many photos and ill post em up here of yourself later on
I’ll be at two of the games in Baltimore!
I cannot wait!!
You looked great out there last night Phil, keep up the good work. Too bad you didn’t pick up the win, but I’m sure you’ll pick up quite a few this season.
Good luck on the road. Kansas has been pretty hot to start this season. Take it to them.

Phil, great game last night.
I saw some previews last night for the Office next week. Looks like Michael and Jan are hosting a dinner party at their condo. Looks hilarious.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R795dgAfAKI
the new episode is called dinner party — heres a clip from it.
Phil, whenever you throw your curve, your right index finger at the top of the ball is visible when you come out of the glove. You might be tipping that pitch down the road.
Congrats on an awesome performance last night.
You did ok. Still not the velocity I would like to see from a “cant miss” prospect and you tend to fall in love with your curveball, thus overusing it and hanging it but all in all not bad. I was glad to see Joba get the win as he is truly “cant miss.”
Very excited about going to the Tues15April game vs. the Devil Dogs!!
Anyone else going to that game?
Great job last night Phil. It is hard to believe you are only 21, you are so cool and collected out there. Hopefully next time you get some earlier run support!
Good luck to you and the rest of the team on the road trips, too bad they are not someplace warm (except for Tampa).
New episodes of 30 Rock too.
You piched and looked amazing last night :} good luck on the next start !!!
Great job last night Phil. Keep it up!
Great game last night Phil! I am excited about The Office next week as well. It’s too bad they aren’t going to work Angela’s pregnancy into the show. Imagine a little Schrute or Andy walking around! That would be great. Here’s to continued success!
Phil - great job last you and your bullpen - everyone looked great. It must feel pretty good to have the support behind you and offensive lineup. Good luck on the road trip!
Phil,
Way to get the new season off on the right foot with a crisp start.
Since you are going to be on the Road and nex Thursday is a night game, when will you get to watch “The Office”?
It feels like forever since weve gotten a new one.
Good Luck on your start in KC.
You better beat Greinke..(I think that is who you are matched up against.)
Great game last night Phil, I can’t get over all the weight you’ve lost. I guess I should find out what you did and follow the same routine lol. Looking forward to watching you guys win another series !
Great game last night…you seem to have excellent control…keep up the good work! If you can hang in a good percentage of your games the way you did last night your lineup is going to take care of the rest…continued success
Cpt15
Great job last night Hughes!
im comin to the Stadium 2morrow!! and prolly again come summer time.
Great game! And I hope you get a chance to watch The Office next week! Can you TiVo or DVR it? The marathon of the last 4 episodes last night was pretty great, but made waiting for next Thursday even harder!
Good game last night, I’m def proud of you. The Office’s first show is about a dinner party at Mike’s house. I seen a clip last night where Dwight was mad cause he wasn’t invited. I’m pumped they are finally back to.
Nice job pitching last night in relatively cold conditions. Must not be easy for a California native.
I’m on season 2 of The Office. I guess I have to hurry up and get through 2 and 3 before next Thursday. lol
Which of those places will you enjoy playing in most? Getting some early season revenge in Cleveland would be great?
be careful on the road phil– stay close to yor friends and watch out of oppertunistic people…. can’t wait to see you all in Pittsburgh at the end of June
phil - awesome game last night! it was so great to see you pitch!
do you actually get to “enjoy” any of the places you travel to when you guys are on the road?
Hey Phil. Great game last night! You looked good out there (and I was really glad my friend let me use his mlb.tv subscription so I could watch your first start of the year).
Keep up the good work! And don’t forget to enjoy yourself on the road trip (just don’t get into any trouble! ha ha)
And my friends are excited about the return of “The Office.” One of them even has a countdown of the days left until its return up on her door!
Oh, and here’s a random question for you, since you talk music every once in a while. Do you like Sister Hazel? They’re playing at my university in May, and I’m probably going to go… so I was just wondering if you liked them.
Nice job on your first start of what will be many this season
Phil you pitched great last night. I can’t wait until Micheal and Jan have their dinner party next week.
i think you’re going to need a pretty big suitcase! good job yesterday, it looked SO cold out there… quite a change from FL. weather. Thanks for the post!
Great game, Phil!
Phil terrific effort last night. I thought you were squeezed big time by the home plate ump. Fastball was crisp and location was great, great breaking ball too. Looking forward to your next start in KC and tell Justin not to change a thing when he k’s someone.
Phil — I saw the trailers for this week during the reruns last night. It’s Michael and Jan hosting a dinner party (for couples — so Dwight is not invited, with predictable results) with Angela/Andy and PB&J in attendance.
Great pitching last night — keep up the good work!
Nice start last night Phil, keep up the good work.
http://aroundthemajors.blogspot.com/
phil,
great game last night! waiting for your next start had felt like an eternity. I’m looking forward to your next start!
great game phil. keep up the good work
Great game last Phil! Keep ‘em coming!
Just make sure you got enough socks and underwear, dude.
Hey phil, great performance last night. You’re curve was electric in the middle innings there and your location was mostly spot on.
As for next week’s office, it’s about Michael inviting everybody over for dinner except for Dwight and him and Jan fighting the entire night because of what happened at the deposition. Here’s the description from TVGuide.com:
“Jan and Michael host a dinner party. On the guest list are Jim and Pam, who have run out of excuses to avoid such a gathering, and Andy and Angela, a pairing that sends Dwight’s jealousy soaring to new heights.”
What a beautiful game you pitched last night. You hit the corners, you made your breaking stuff work extremely well, and best of all not one ball was hit hard. If you continue to pitch that way you will be a 20 game winner and an era under 3.00. What a great feeling it msut be to have such a wonderful start to the year. I thought the team played well and both startimng pitchers pitched good ball games.
I wish you the best of luck and your skill will do the rest.
AMAZING job last night phil.
Now you can brag that you struck out a 500+ hr hitter and made him ejected for being so nasty.
Great game last night Phil!!!!
Hope you can catch the office while you’re on the road!
Great job again last night! You were awesome!
Hopefully I will see you tonight at the stadium!
Hey Man,
Good luck out their in the upcoming weeks
By the way, you pitched great last night, keep it up
Hey Phil, I was at the game last night. You pitched great!
I have some pitcures of you pitching last night, would you like them?
hey brother great outing last night!!
it set me back on some stuff i had to do, but it was worth seeing you beast up those jays
thanks for the sick blog
hope to see you at at least a few bp’s this year!
have a good one
Phil, great game last night.. Love the at bat against Thomas that first pitch breaking ball was awesome, just to see his knee jerk like that.. Good stuff.. Anyways good luck on this up coming road trip. and tell Justin to keep pumping those fist..
Phil great start you have a bright future and the fans here love you young guns….have a safe road trip n get some W’s….I’m excited about the office too, great show….goodluck phil hopefully see you at the stadium soon.
Make sure you leave enough room in your suitcase for Xbox 360. Or do you not take it on the road?
Btw, phenomenal start last night! As far as I’m concerned, you are the ace of the staff. Time will prove this to be fact!
Phil, GREAT start last night!! Very excited for the rest of the season. I hope you get a start in KC because I will be at those games! They are looking tough though. I hope our offense gets going!

Here’s are 2 songs for your road trip….

Willie Nelson…on the road again

Johnny Cash…I’ve Been Everywhere
Hey Huuuuuuuughes!
Good game last night, I cheered you on hardcore from the cheap seats!
Hey Good Game last night. I hope you can catch plenty of the Office. I’m more psyched for Grey’s and House and of course my public speaking class is during House so I’m loving my TiVo right now. I’m giving a Yankee Hall of Fame speech for my historical speech, trying to find Scooter’s, just to make class more fun.
Have fun on the Road,
Becky
great game last night . yah busy schedule comin up no off days for a while
Hey Phil,
You pitched great last night. Giving us a chance to win is all that can be asked for. I’m sure you’ll get a lot more run support this season!
The Boss’s Review of Hughes Last Night..
Hank Steinbrenner likes what he sees in Hughes
Upon exiting Yankee Stadium after the Yankees’ 3-2 win over Toronto last night, Hank Steinbrenner was happy to give a glowing review of righthander Phil Hughes’ 2008 debut. Steinbrenner - who had wanted the Yankees to make an offseason trade for Johan Santana that could have included Hughes - said Hughes was “great” after allowing two runs and four hits in six innings.
“The starter did great, the two middle relievers did great, obviously we knew what to expect from the setup guy and the closer, and everything was like clockwork,” he said, “and Hughes did fantastic.”
Hey Phil,
Great game last night! I don’t have to tell you how good you pitched, you already know that.
The road long trip is coming up, but I’ll be at both Boston games in NY, hope you’ll be on-tap for one of those.
Good luck in KC on Tuesday!!!
Awesome start last night. It would have been nice for you to get the win, but a win is a win…no matter who gets, as long as it favors the Yanks!
Definitely excited about The Office next Thursday. The website has a description of the new episode…it sounds like the Jim/Pam and Michael/Jan dinner date takes place. Should make for some laughs!
Just be sure to kick extra *#s when you are in Boston.
Phil,
Fantastic game last night! Fortunate to see entire Toronto series from the stands. Outside of Opening Day, really looked forward to seeing you pitch. (I was lucky enough to see your 1st start also.) And last night, you were great.
but i dont wanna go against boston i dont like them
I’ve been waiting forever for the office to start back up (and scrubs). Can’t wait.
Phil,
Great game last night, almost the perfect start to a great season. The schedule makers really don’t like the Yankees, 29 games in 30 days, most of which are on the road, and not ending the season at The Stadium but instead in boston.
Going to the game tonight. Hope your boy Ian has just as good of a start.
You guys have a tough schedule ahead but do what the Giants did and do it on the road.
You looked <strong.PHIL-NOMENOL last night!
And tell Joba we LOVE the fist pump!!!! Keep it up!
Good Job last night.
You were great out there last night, man. Keep up the good work. Team pitching looks great so far, both starters and the bullpen.
Phil you did amazing last night! I can’t say I’ve watched the office but I think I’m going to have to start!
Let’s see baseball is back, the office is back, things are looking pretty good. Have you actually purchased the sets and watched the outtakes??? Love those too.
Fact: Bears can climb faster than they can run.
Dayanks, i agree. Also gotta love the commentaries. the season 1 ones are the best. John K., steve, jenna, Rainn, all there. Good stuff. Cant wait for the new stuff.
Awesome pitching last night! I was lucky enough to be there! Hopefully Pettitte will be as great tomorrow!
Enjoy the road trip. See you in Baltimore!
good job last night phil………best of luck in the upcoming games! Go Yankees!!!!
Hey Phil, great game last night!! keep it up…great start to the season!! by the way, that pitch to the Big Hurt was nassstttyyy…lol
Great job last night Phil! Would have loved if the guys put those runs up earlier to get you a win, but I’ll take a Joba win too… heck, any win leaves no room for complaints.
I’ll be at the games in Chicago, hopefully things will hold the way they are and you get to throw the last game there. Keep working hard!
Hopefully, Ian knocks the Rays down tonight… and gets them out too.
great game last night phil!
keep up the good work.
good luck this year!
Sounds like a fun road trip to me! Don’t forget extra memory cards and your battery charger for your Rebel so you can take lots and lots of pictures!
I’m going to check out the Office since you swear it’s the best thing ever. I’m telling you though, you gotta check out 30 Rock!
Have a good evening Phil.
I’m just wondering, is Phil Hughes done signing TTM for the year? I sent a ball out on 2/28 because I thought he said he was going to sign during Spring Training. Spring Training has now past… Will I ever receive the ball back: signed or even unsigned?
I hope you like Hotel Food. What about we check the room service menu’s for egg salad !!!
You pitching was incredible last night Phil.
great pitching performance last night man! What a great series with the Jays, just great!
and I’m stoked for the Office return, i’m think something big is going to happen between Jim and Pam, maybe a break-up is in the near future…it seems as if Jim hasn’t been feeling Pam much in the last episodes before the strike. We’ll see…
You pitched fantastic last night. Enjoy the road trip.
Kevin

Phil, when packing dont forget dental floss, sunscreen and crisp stack of unmarked non-sequential $20’s.
great game last night! and the office! definitley excited
You were great yesterday Phil! Keep it up
hey phil…great game last night-especially in the northeastern weather!!! good luck on the road!
GREAT outing last night philly franchise
Your curve looked unbelievable thats impossible to hit
Keep up the good work and can you discuss some more baseball on the blog?
thanks
josh
Phil, Did you get one of the Bobby shirts that Long gave out last night?
hey Phil! Great job last night!!
great job last night phil your stuff was nasty, vernon wells thomas and rios had nothing on you the fast ball was electric and your curve was insane! keep it buddy and we could see some cy youngs in your future!!
Great outing last night Phil. Keep working hard. It is certainly paying off.
Phil,
I was at the game last night and was glad to see a solid start from you. The Yanks are on the road most of April but July is when you guys are home for most of the month. Tonight’s game has been ugly.
i watched your game last night, great job , hope you or ian kennedy pitch against the firts boston game, because they know pettite wang and musina way to much and know their pitching styles and you two would be a good change of styles
first two games*
Phil you pitched a great game I just wish you would of gotten the win,also was at game on friday to watch IPK pitch maybe you guys can get together and show him how it is done.Also they showed your baby picture on the big screen what a cute kid you was Phil.Good luck on the road
you should watch 30 rock too I think its on right efore or after
yeah phil great outing…too bad kennedy didnt do that good but its early we’ll be all rite….
good luck on the next game, hope you pitch a gem. not bad 1st game though.
Too Bad the Royals are gonna sweep you! The powder blue uniforms are back baby! watch out!
IPK got owned so bad. ;-0
First of all, you were amazing in your first start, Phil. You have the makeup of a great pitcher and showed it in that start. Now tell Justin to quit stealing your wins, LOL. But that was just great. Congrats and thank you! Now as for the schedule, the officials in charge of that and Selig can go to h*ll. It is so stacked against the Yankees. Starting you off in cold weather and lining you up with 19, now 20 games in a row. I was looking at some of the other teams and you can see they are not nearly as challenged with this as the Yankees are. Just letting the MLB officials know this is not unnoticed and I’ll now get off my soap box. ; ) Just remember to take Airborne! And go get ‘em!
Phil, the one thing that seems clear to me is that the umps seem to be under some sort of mandate to squeeze rookie pitchers, and you and Ian are no exceptions. My theory is they are trying to exert their presumed authority from the start, imposing themselves on the game. If it’s frustrating for us fans to watch, I can only imagine the frustation level for you when the ump is putting you in more and more precarious situation.
Last night, Ian was hosed on a call to the Rays scrub pinch-hitter w/the bases loaded. His next pitch was predictably down-the-middle, for fear of anything on the corners being called a ball. That completely changed the complexion of the game — and spelled doom for Ian.
You must be a pretty composed guy to not blow your top when you aren’t getting the calls. I’d likely flip out & be the guy banished for life for beating an ump.
Good luck Phil. Can’t wait for the new Office episode as well. Something about a dinner party at Michael’s. LOL
Have fun on the road! I’m hitting up the Orioles series at The Yard. Hopefully you’ll pitch one of those games! By the way, you were great on Thursday. I have been waiting so long for new Office episodes that I almost can’t believe it’s coming back on this week! Good luck pitching the rest of April (the schedule is ridiculous)!
i cant wait till u guys come to chicago! hopefully i’ll be able to go to one the games! so excited! i love u phil! wish u the best all season!
