Free time in Toronto

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!

Don't get photographed but i was told by a buddy who went there before that the strip clubs up there are absolutely amazing.if u actually read this i know u couldn't respond to anything so politically incorrect but i am just saying......ur welcome! and don't get caught.strippers sometimes have that glitter stuff on them and it is damn hard to get off so watch it.

The strip clubs are really the best thing to do in Toronto. There are a lot less rules than we have here in America.

Phil, go check out Eaton Centre. You've probably been there before as it's Toronto's best. I'm from Oakville, Ontario which is about a 30 minute drive away. Also you should try Wayne Gretzky's restaurant which is very close to Rogers Centre.

I'll be rooting you on these next two games!!!

Hey Phil im sure you'll find somthing to do but the mall sounds like fun. You could go see a movie or just go walk around the city for awhile but theres alot to do so I bet you'll figure somthing out. Good Luck in the next couple of games you're pitching great.

  thanks. i know, right? this is the first memorabilia that i've EVER gotten from the yankees. of course i've gone to games and gotten autographs and stuff, but this is just AWESOME. it was so funny when i got it because phil hughes is one of my favorite yankees and my cousin put it on a chair and i walked in the room and i started running around in circles like a five year old LOL it sounds crazy and stupid but i was just so excited i didn't know where to put myself. haha

melkyway28 said August 04, 2009

Oh wow, that picture is really cool, I love it! I have one like that with Robbie Cano and Melky Cabrera. I do have a picture of Phil, but it's not signed like yours. Lol. I have Phil's signature on a program from when he was in the minors. =) That's how I fell in love with Phil. GO YANKEES!

yanks26ngoin said August 05, 2009

Hey Phil, just to let you know, I am glad your still in the big leagues. But not in the role that you should be in. You should be in the rotation, but where ever you are is fine with me, as long as your still in the Bronx with the rest of the Yankees. Im hoping you get to be transitioned back into the rotation, but I think it may be too late in the season, sadly. But, you will be back in the rotation, where you belong next !

P.S. Your my idol!

hey phil, i was watching the game today and i just had to mention it because i thought it was just absolutely hysterical, but when tex got that home run into the yankee bullpen, you like flew outside, grabbed the ball, looked around, and ran back inside. i got a kick out of that LOL and i got a kick out of how harkey looked at you and was just like O.O
hahaha but we love you anyway.
good luck & hope to see you pitching tomorrow!

Hey Phil! I was at the game yesterday. I wore my "Hughes" shirt and I'm damn proud of it! I also noticed that you have a song for when you enter games now.. something by Metallica that I couldn't figure out the name to lol. You did great as always, and I LOVE THE HAIRCUT! Hope you had a good trip to Seattle and keep it "Philthy"!

Watching the Yankees Classic right now from August 7th and you've got a big bush of hair sticking out of your hat. :D Not that I don't love it. I also saw this tweet on twitter about your wonderful hair:
I miss long haired Phil Hughes. Since my hair could never get that curly, I envied him. This stinks

I don't really get why people post stupid stuff like that photoshopped pic of Phil holding up that card. And if you're going to do something so stupid, at least spell everything correctly. Phil knows how to spell, which is evident in his posts.
