Hello again….

12 04 2008

Sorry for the lack of posting lately. The travel along with being in hotels makes it tough. I haven’t had a chance to watch the new episode of The Office yet which I’m bummed about. The internet connection hasn’t been solid enough for me to watch it on nbc.com. I’ll figure something out though. I’ll try to get a contest up sometime soon. Maybe when we get to Tampa. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hey Phil, good luck tomorrow hopefully your first Fenway start will be one to remember!!
12 04 2008: rdd121robroy (21:22:49) :

The Office was definitely worth the wait. It was as uncomfortable and hilarious as ever. You’re going to love the episode and there were lots of laugh out loud moments. Enjoy it and good luck tomorrow!
12 04 2008: chocolateaddict706 (21:23:55) :

Good luck tomorrow!
12 04 2008: zellyanks91 (21:25:45) :

Sounds good. Good luck tomorrow against Dice-K! Would be nice to take the first series against the Sox.

Good luck tomorrow, Phil - you have a family of Maine-iacs rootin’ hard for you and the Yanks!
12 04 2008: tatis2008 (21:36:22) :

Hey Phil
Thanks for taking your time, we understand you have a tough schedule. The office was great, i will tell you but is better to watch it on your own. BUENA SUERTE !!!! . I leave u some homework to find out what that means jijiji….

Take care

Good luck tomorrow Phil! Can’t wait to see you pitch! Should be an exciting game, always is against the sox. enjoy it! <33
12 04 2008: dahouse292 (21:50:42) :

Phil- good luck against the sox 2m nite. Get ur velocity back up to the mid 90s please. You’ll do great just stay relaxed those boston fans can be reals jerks sometimes.
12 04 2008: 39poolshark (21:58:56) :

I think he knows how to pitch….

Good luck tomorrow Phil.
12 04 2008: jburd (22:02:29) :

Good Luck against the blosox tomorrow Phil.
Like everyone else has already said, The Office episode was awesome this past week. Do you normally watch scrubs right after it? Because that was a good one also.

One last question lol, what have the other guys said about the “suspected jinx” shirt in the new stadium?
12 04 2008: mattnyytoronto (22:09:03) :

Look forward to seeing you pitch against Boston tomorrow… The new office episode was alright. I’m sure there will be better though.
12 04 2008: diamond23dust (22:09:26) :

Hey Phil.

We totally understand that it’s hard to post on the road. It’s always great to hear from you whenever you get a chance.

Good luck tomorrow night! Go get ‘em
12 04 2008: nyywinningdoesnttake86yrs (22:11:44) :

psh boston…just another team right?
good luck tomorrow dude…no hitter i can feel it lol
12 04 2008: mandalatv (22:14:07) :

Gotta be surreal pitching to Boston for the first time. I’m sure you’ll do fine.

You should look into tethering a 3G phone with your laptop. It can pretty much guarantee you a fast connection in any major market.
12 04 2008: 4italianfood (22:24:21) :

good luck tomorrow!!

and the Office was def. worth the wait. So great to have those crazy kids back.
12 04 2008: trexsky (22:26:41) :

We forgive you. lol Good luck tomorrow! Beat those Sox!
12 04 2008: jetergirl211 (22:37:51) :

You should totally be sleeping and not up posting blogs on the internetz. Don’t you have something important to do tomorrow night? I forget what…. It’ll come to me…

Oh, and I know how you feel about the Office. I’m still waiting for House to come back on.

Alright, take care. I’d wish you luck, but you don’t need it

12 04 2008: yanks4ever13 (22:46:48) :

I kind of figured that you were too busy with all of the traveling to post. Don’t worry, I think we all understand.

Just out of curiosity, are you sleeping okay in the hotels? Most people I know, myself included, generally don’t sleep well, and we need you all rested up for your starts.

And speaking of sleep, I think that’s what I’m going to do… I’m tired after screaming through the last 3 innings of the 11 inning game my school played.
12 04 2008: yankiesboi (22:48:12) :

all is well phil, the office was amazing, no big shock, but try to watch it asap before someone spoils something.

anyway, goodluck tomorrow, kick the red sox ass!
12 04 2008: yankeechick78 (22:52:20) :

No need to apologize. I’m sure the travel etc has been very difficult this yearly season. Good thing though you guys will get it out of the way early and have more games at home later in the season.

Good luck tomorrow night.
12 04 2008: yankeechick78 (22:54:22) :

The game isn’t till 8pm tomorrow night, thanks espn!!
12 04 2008: pinetarrag (22:56:16) :

Go get ‘em Phil!

Good Luck.
12 04 2008: pinetarrag (22:57:11) :

Go get ‘em Phil!

Good Luck.
12 04 2008: 34and62 (23:09:42) :

Good luck tomorrow.
You nodded to me during the rain delay today while you were in the dugout lol
12 04 2008: lovetheyanks (23:16:04) :

Good luck tomorrow!
Enjoy the Office when you finally get to watch it…so good!
12 04 2008: rfarren (23:18:34) :

Just read an article that said you were a big sox fan. Man I hope your dad isn’t too sad you’re now a Yank. I hope you know we’re all happy you’re on our team. Good luck!!! and don’t forget to have fun.
12 04 2008: yanksfan20 (23:20:33) :

I think we can all forgive you for being a little busy…

Can’t wait to watch you on the mound tomorrow!!
12 04 2008: bosoxwschamps (23:30:07) :

Thought about going to the game tomorrow night to see you pitch but its probably not gonna happen. I went to the first game of the series where Wang decided to be awesome. It was still fun though. Good luck tomorrow and remember, you will always be a Boston fan deep down.
12 04 2008: thecaptain15 (23:31:16) :

Phil, Don’t worry about us!! Just focus on tomorrow!! We need you and we need this win!! Good luck!!

13 04 2008: jblackmets111 (00:16:13) :

hope you do better tomorrow than you did against the royals
13 04 2008: dfox (00:22:18) :

Good luck tomorrow Phil!!

Also, I loved the episode of the office. A lot of people thought it was dark, but I thought it was great. And the song in it is SO catchy.
13 04 2008: yankeegirl88 (01:06:31) :

hey phil! good luck tomorrow!!! i live in rhode island (unfortunately too close to the red sox for my liking) and i wish that i could be there tomorrow , but i know you will do great.
13 04 2008: californiaxdan (01:08:04) :

phil you got your work cut out for you tomorrow against dice-k, he’s been pitching as good as anyone in the AL. hope you do well.
P.S. don’t pitch to manny
13 04 2008: eddieshi1 (01:18:02) :

Phil, good luck “tomorrow”. I feel a no hitter coming!!!
13 04 2008: ilovenyy (01:43:07) :

Good luck tomorrow. Hope the weather’s working in your advantage. Bet yall are ready for some nice, warm, sunny games!
13 04 2008: kanderson74 (01:50:09) :

Good luck tomorrow night Phil. Hope you have a great game!
13 04 2008: jmunnelly3 (02:05:33) :

Hey Phil,
Good luck tomorrow. No need to think aboot Canada, even though some people on this blog might always suggest it. Just focus on what you do best, and ignore canada day. You are better than that. Go Yanks!
13 04 2008: jackransovy (02:33:48) :

Good Luck Hope the fans treat you right and you get the first win of 2008 in boston tonight
13 04 2008: wang1994 (06:35:36) :

13 04 2008: bronxbomber05 (07:15:07) :

Hey Phil,
Good luck at Fenway, I have a feeling your getting your first win of the 2008 season
13 04 2008: usgrant (07:52:00) :

That’s ok, Phil. Just take your frustration at missing The Office out on the Red Sox! How is it for you to be wearing the pinstripes and facing the Red Sox at Fenway being that you have rooted for them most of your life? Like I said, I won’t hold it against you because we all make mistakes. ; ) Just pitch how you know how to pitch and you will be fine. Go Yanks! And luckily on to some warm weather tomorrow.
13 04 2008: gbontnf (07:58:13) :

Best of luck tonight in Boston. The Office episode from Thursday was outstanding.
13 04 2008: dimagg5 (08:44:51) :

Jan and Michael really could use some counseling…I thought it was a great episode.

Good to hear from you, Phil….good luck tonight in Beantown.

Good Luck, David
13 04 2008: paddyo6 (09:05:55) :

13 04 2008: pinstriped lady (09:17:20) :

I’d say you’re posting pretty well for someone who’s kind of a pro baseball player. Good luck with the game and The Office- both will be awesome.
13 04 2008: larrydavid1 (09:18:56) :

13 04 2008: gsirico (09:33:28) :

13 04 2008: alemro13 (09:47:12) :

Better luck today, Phil!! I’ve always been a big believer in defense winning games, but those bats need to wake the hell up, and give you pitchers some breathing room!!!! GIVE’ EM HELL TONIGHT, KIDDO!!!!!!

Phil! We all understand that you couldn’t post. I’m so excited/nervous about tonight, so I can’t imagine how you feel. I hope the bats get going; I saw a ton of good signs last night, including Robbie’s last at-bat. By the time you see these comments we’ll all know the outcome, I’m sure, but good luck anyway!! We all know you can do it!
13 04 2008: meeweebert (12:04:41) :

The world is focused in on Phil and he’s talking about “The Office.” Ha, ha. I guess you really do block out the pressure. Good luck tonight.

13 04 2008: mdachs (15:19:19) :

Good luck tonight! Santana didn’t look too good yesterday, it’s great we didn’t trade you.

And The Office was hilarious as always, it’s so good to have it back.

13 04 2008: thefuturephiljobaian (16:07:34) :

Good Luck tonight Phil. Lets put these Red Sox away tonight!
13 04 2008: yanks6562 (16:14:17) :

Phil - you grew up a Sox fan in CA? We need you to dominate tonight to make up for it! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHES!
13 04 2008: slayercommathe (16:32:25) :

Good luck tonight Phil! I’m sure you’ll be awesome.

Oh and I bought your player shirt at Modell’s and when I wore it to Blockbuster, a guy that works there said he liked it. It was pretty cool.
13 04 2008: powertrip300 (17:29:56) :

Hey Phil just wanted to say that if you can not get “The Office” off of the NBC site you can try the site http://www.hulu.com

They have episodes from alot of different shows.
13 04 2008: markus34nyy (17:34:07) :

Phil HAMMER that strike zone tonight!!! We all have faith in you!
13 04 2008: soshasarah (17:40:54) :

I don’t think there’s any need to apologize for not posting . . . we all understand how insanely busy you must be. Well, anyway, good luck in your start tonight (even though you probably won’t read this until after your start) and I hope you get a chance to watch The Office soon . . . apparently it was a good episode (I wouldn’t know; I don’t watch The Office).
13 04 2008: yanks2627 (17:56:25) :

Good Luck Tonight Phil!
13 04 2008: santoast (17:58:42) :

Phil: I’m sure you’re not worried about your first start at Fenway — biggest rivalry in sports, whatever — but if you need a little extra pressure, here you go: I’m in a tight game in my head-to-head fantasy league and a win by you tonight puts me over the top, OK? Now go out there and kick some Red Sock ass, killer.
13 04 2008: hujerseygurl422 (18:06:09) :

Good Luck Today!!!!
13 04 2008: jessicayanks (19:39:54) :

13 04 2008: bosoxwschamps (19:42:49) :

hey phil,
i dont know if you check your blog between innings but… you’re getting rocked.
13 04 2008: ilovephil (19:47:46) :

Phil.. I want you to know that we still love and support you even through your struggles.. Hey you’re 21.. this is all a learning process.. and we’re willing to wait. Keep your head up sweety.
13 04 2008: cjghawaii (19:51:58) :

Tough first inning PH.Hang in their.
13 04 2008: duncfan17 (20:20:39) :

Yeah Phil, hang in there! All of us Yankees fans are rooting for you!! I’m 21 and can’t even IMAGINE that kind of pressure! Just keep your head held high and don’t let the damn bosox see you sweat!!!

GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!
13 04 2008: Canada Day (20:31:47) :

as we say up north, don’t worry aBOOT it Phil, it’s just Manny being Manny out there, can’t control that, however you did make him look foolish with that sinker he watched get called for a strike!
13 04 2008: mdachs (20:37:50) :

You’ll get ‘em next time Phil.
13 04 2008: ilovenyy (20:47:40) :

hey there, I am pretty positive you wont read this. oh well. I can’t even imagine the pressure you are under and having to deal with stupid people who praise you one minute and hate you the next. You’ll come around. Be patient with yourself, you know what you can bring to the mound. I hope people are patient with you, no offense to anyone, by NY has some harsh fans.

Still proud to call myself a supporter of Phil Hughes
13 04 2008: gcohen9782 (20:51:21) :

Phil,

You seem very bat shy, I think you’ve been spending to much time with Mike Mussina. Avoid him like the plague.

Oh, and the ump was squeezing you in the first, you can’t nibble when the ump won’t give you the corners.

Greg C.
13 04 2008: nyyanks71377 (21:00:21) :

Keep your head up Phil!!
13 04 2008: nyyankeefan185 (21:02:44) :

hey man what happened tonight? Seemed like you and molina didnt have the right signs. Win next week man. Youre gonna be the one who will make or break our season
13 04 2008: gcohen9782 (21:24:44) :

No he won’t nyyankeefan185,

You can’t expect a 21 year old kid to make or break the Yankees season. If the bullpen does it’s job and Wang, Pettitte and Moose do their jobs, this team should be fine, regardless of what Kennedy and Hughes do.
13 04 2008: claybellinger (21:33:50) :

gcohen your an idiot
Hughes Kennedy and Joba are going to be to be the core of this team for the next fifteen years. Stop being a hater and stop bitching!!
13 04 2008: nicejob34 (21:34:28) :

Glad to hear you’re a fan of The Office.

Perhaps you can get a tour of Dunder Mifflin when they send you back to Scranton.

I can’t remember seeing a guy more overmatched.

What is it now??? Something like 94 baserunners in 11 innings pitched???

You are putting the Yankees behind the 8-ball, and you are DESTROYING the bullpen in the process.

Tell Michael, Dwight, Jim and Pam I said, Hi!
13 04 2008: gcohen9782 (21:38:03) :

I’m an idiot because I don’t think we have to rely on a 21 year old to make or break our season? OK.

And I know those three are this team’s future, where did I say anything different.

And how am I being a hater?
13 04 2008: johnnymoinidaho (21:40:53) :

Phil, even though I am a life long Red Sox fan, you are one of my favorite young players.

Tough game tonight. I’m sure the temps and adjusting to a new catcher had something to do with it.

That curve was looking awesome though. It ate Pedroia up.

Anyways, hope to see you over on the beckett boards again.

Better Luck on your next start,

John Mo
13 04 2008: claybellinger (21:46:04) :

your an idiot because you are complaining about Phil Hughes not throwing a perfect game every time he is on the mound.
13 04 2008: 89mphfastball (21:48:40) :

HEY PHIL, I THOUGHT YOU WERE A POWER PITCHER? THAT 89MPH HEAT ISN’T GOING TO CUT IT IN THE BIGS. YOU LOOKED LIKE A SCARED LITTLE GIRL OUT ON THE MOUND TONIGHT. 7 RUNS IN 2 INNINGS? DISGUSTING. 3 INNINGS AGAINST THE ROYALS? A JOKE.

I HOPE THEY HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION FOR YOU AT SCRANTON, SO YOU CAN UPDATE YOUR LITTLE BLOG.

PHIL “89MPH” HUGHES…LOL!!!!!!

THE YANKEES PASSED UP ON JOHAN SANTANA FOR A SOFT TOSSING 21 YEAR OLD MUSSINA.
13 04 2008: gcohen9782 (21:50:34) :

“your an idiot because you are complaining about Phil Hughes not throwing a perfect game every time he is on the mound.”

No I’m not. All I said was he looked a little bat shy. Because he did. Besides that I’m fully confident that he will be a very good pitcher for the Yankees for a long time.

HES BAT SHY BECAUSE HIS 89MPH FASTBALLS GOT SMACKED AROUND BY THE ROYALS. I’D BE BAT SHY TOO IF I HAD NO FASTBALL!!!

hey 89 he was hitting 93-94 all night, and he’s the number 3 starter for the New York Yankees, what the hell are you? Does it make you feel better to try and put down a proffesional athlete who will make more in a year than you will in your whole life?

Get a life d-bag

……………………………………….

I don’t think anybody is expecting a perfect game… Something better than 3 2/3 innings per start, a run every inning and 24 baserunners in 11 IP’s might be nice, though.

We’re not expecting perfect, just something a little north of PATHETIC!

The guy is completely overwhelmed.
13 04 2008: buckfoston17 (22:23:51) :

Well his velocity has speeded up as the weather has, and i’ve noticed it seeems as if the Umps squeeze him everytime, thats why hitting the corners everytime can be a hit or miss. Such as how Jacoby Ellsbury was easily out in the first AB of the game today.

hang in there phil! and ignore all the negative comments..
13 04 2008: philiproxmysocks (22:39:52) :

Wow. It seems like all the loonies came out tonight. Whiners have no spot on the Yankee fandom. Stay away from the ledge…

Phil will be ok. He’s been great in the minors and he’s shown that he can pitch in the big leagues. It’s not like he’s gonna forget all of this all of a sudden. It’s called growing pains.
13 04 2008: ilovephil (22:41:33) :

Phil, don’t listen to that m oronic fan.. you threw 93-94 tonight.. velocity was fine.

=============

YEAH, 93-94 ACCORDING TO THE ESPN GUN. MY GRANDMOTHER CAN THROW 95MPH ACCORDING TO THE ESPN GUNS.

FACE IT, PHIL “89MPH” HUGHES IS GOING TO GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BUSTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME! TO THINK, YOU COULD HAVE HAD THE BEST LEFT-HANDED PITCHER OF OUR TIME, INSTEAD YOU HUNG ON TO THE NEXT PAUL BYRD. LMAO!!!!!!!!
13 04 2008: manimal529 (22:50:24) :

Chin up phil, your EXTREMELY young.
13 04 2008: 89mphfastball (22:53:54) :

AND EXTREMELY OVERWHELMED.
13 04 2008: bigjf (22:54:04) :

You got some good footage from tonight, Phil. Study hard! No Office until you do!
13 04 2008: pinstriped lady (22:57:54) :

Hey Phil- we all know what you’ve got. You’re a great pitcher and you probably know well enough to ignore people who think they’re smart enough to talk about you like that after one not-so-perfect night.
13 04 2008: buckfoston17 (22:58:11) :

And how do you determine that the ESPN gun is off? Cause you want it to? Cause you want to have more reasons to put down Phil Hughes? Your a retard.
13 04 2008: 89mphfastball (22:59:15) :

HEY PINSTRIPED HOEBAG, DID YOU MISS HIS LAST START? 3 INNINGS AGAINST THE ROYALS!!
13 04 2008: 89mphfastball (23:01:11) :

“Your a retard.”

I THINK YOU MEAN ‘YOU’RE’, EINSTEIN.
13 04 2008: daferm77 (23:11:24) :

Man……i wish Yankees had Johan Santana. Well….somebody that ain’t scared to pitch against the Red Sux in Fenway! Can you ask Girardi to send you down to AAA? Bring Kennedy with you too. Both you guys need to work on growing a pair!
13 04 2008: yanksbaseball (23:14:08) :

hang tough Phil…i know you don’t need to hear this but you are extremely talented…everybody that truly knows the game of baseball can see this. Anyone who has truly played know its a game of failures. The only success in baseball is determined by what you get from your failures. Relax, regroup and just go out there and have fun. we all know you will be great. good luck Phil.
13 04 2008: nicejob34 (23:14:59) :

Nothing like having your starting pitcher shove a mountain in front of the offense at the beginning of every game.

Enjoy the bus ride back to Scranton, Phil.
13 04 2008: daferm77 (23:16:13) :

89mphfastball…..you still mad about your Mets last year? Get over it. Be happy that you got Santana. The A-Rod of pitching!
13 04 2008: pick83 (23:29:23) :

don’t let tonight get to you Phil there is a lot of baseball to get to and we all know there will be days like this and days where you have no hitter stuff.
Plus you’re the youngest pitcher in the bigs this is a great way to grow

guys don’t let these trolls get to you. they just come looking for fights.

and we all know the saying about arguing on the internet. even if you win you’re still retarded
13 04 2008: zellyanks91 (23:30:59) :

hang in there phil…

Kevin
13 04 2008: idethec34 (23:41:21) :

I’m sure you ignore all these bashers that come in here and right random crap, tough loss tonight but you will learn a bunch more as the season progresses im sure Hang in there man, there will be plenty more oppurtunities against the sox!!
13 04 2008: albanyyankeefan (23:42:56) :

89 fastball,

don’t you have anything better to do than hang out on a Yankee blog? why are you so concerned with what we’re doing? homo…….
14 04 2008: yanks1219 (00:01:24) :

how many people on this blog are major league pitchers? last time i checked.. just one. So give the guy a break he’s the youngest pitcher in the league and some people expect 8 shutout innings every time out. Theres gunna be a learning curve and some growing pains. Cut him some slack.
14 04 2008: johnfromthebronx (01:19:21) :

89mphfastball go get a life and shut the hell up, phil should throw one of his fastballs in your face, anyway phil it’s just one game, a week from now no one will even remember this, if there were any positives it was the velocity and movement on your fastball, just keep at it man and make us proud!

Ha, ha. I can’t believe someon
