Joe Blog

Yankees future (and present?) franchise ace pitcher Phil Hughes has a blog. And it's not one of those ridiculous commercial site-hosted deals either.

In one post, he picks the Giants over the Packers Sunday, contemplates using Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" as his walkout song (an excellent choice, btw) and wishes for an end to our cursed writers strike so new episodes of "The Office" can be made.

Seems like a nice, bright kid with a hell of a future. I'm looking forward to a big 2008 and to seeing him open the new Yankee Stadium in 2009. A pitching talent like Hughes comes along once in a long, long time. Very excited, I am.

Assuming we don't trade him for Johan Santana, I mean.
