Toronto is one of the better cities to have an off day. But, without a car, there are only so many things you can do. I might go hit up a mall or something. We face off against the Doc tomorrow. It's always a pleasure to see him to his thing. Hopefully we can muster a few runs and Andy can shut em down. 
Not sure how many Adam Carolla fans are on the blog, but you should subscribe to his free podcast on itunes. It's pretty funny stuff. Later!

I know it's been a long time but I'm back! I was moved into the bullpen since my last post and the transition has gone well. Just happy to be contributing in any way I can. I hope to post much more frequently in the future and would just like to thank everyone out there for the continued support. Also, let me know what things you liked/disliked about the blog before. See ya soon.

First off I want to thank everyone for their participation. I think the first contest went really well. There were a total of 267 email entries. The winner of our first contest in Sandi. Way to go! You will be emailed with further instructions. There were only a handful of people who got all three questions right. The number i wore in high school was 45. My current glove size is 12.5?inches. And lastly my hat size is 7 3/4....yea, no joke. Again, thanks for everyone who submitted entries and congrats to the winner. Make sure to check back often as I will probably post another contest before I head back to Florida next week. Have a great weekend!

Make sure that anyone who wants to enter gets their emails sent in by 8:30 pm pacific time tonight. All entries after that time will not be accepted. I will announce the winner tomorrow. Good luck everyone. Enjoy The Office tonight. Peace

Ok everyone. Contest #1 starts today and will run until next Thursday, Jan. 22nd at 8:30 pm pacific time. All contest entries must be emailed to Phil_Hughes_Contest@yardbarker.com

All valid emails will be accepted. The winner will be notified through the email used for their entry. DO NOT submit answers as a comment on this post. They will not be counted. The question for the contest is a three answer question. If more than one person gets all three correct then the winner will be chosen randomly. If no one answers all three correctly then the winner will be chosen randomly from those than answered 2 of 3, or 1 of 3 correctly.

Please read all the instructions carefully before entering.

And the questions are.....

What number did I wear in high school?
What size glove do I CURRENTLY wear?
What size hat do I wear?

Good luck!!!


The prize is my hat I used in the Arizona Fall League signed.

Here's a photo of the prize for the first contest. I'll post all the dates and rules as soon as I figure all that stuff out.

Hope everybody had a fun New Years. I'll post a picture of the prize for the upcoming contest along with a schedule of when it will start and end as soon as I can find the cord for my digital camera. Be back later.

The first prize I'm going to give away is my hat I used in the Arizona Fall League signed. I'll try to get a picture up soon. Also, I'd like to hear some ideas for the contest. I read almost all of your comments so don't be shy.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I really enjoy being home around this time of year. Thanksgiving and Christmas are still a big deal in my parents house even though all the kids have moved out. My oldest sister Molly has two young daughters, Petra (9), and Stella (4). I'm not home very much throughout the course of the year so being able to see them is awesome.
I started working out at Athletes Performance last week. It's a tough workout but I'm doing everything possible to be prepared for next season. Staying healthy is my number one priority and I feel like if I can do that then I will have a successful season.
Also, what would one of my posts be without a music mention? If you've never heard of the band Skillet you should really have a listen. They're an awesome Christian group. If that's not your thing then you should check em out anyways. They play some great hard rock tunes. The song "Savior" is a good one. Talk to you guys soon!

Metallica is on tour right now. If they come to a city near you I would definitely recommend you check them out. Great live show. Also, here is a little new playlist. This Celluloid Dream- AFI All Nightmare Long- Metallica Pin-Up- Evans Blue Savior- Rise Against Broken, Beat & Scarred- Metallica
