Where to go for a bite to eat?
What to do when not following the Phils?
Who may fly under the radar on the field?
I’ll give you a first-hand preview of 2009 Spring Training, from the Clearwater scene to the Phillies hottest topics. Presented in segments throughout the day, it’ll give you an idea of what it’s like to feel the fresh air of the Florida coast on your face. Check it out tomorrow.

Clearwater is a great time, been going for a few years now.
Hit up the Tilted Kilt after the games, it’s across the street at the end of a shopping center. Decent food, drink (partial outdoor bar) some eye candy….

After the game, stay at the tiki bar as long as it’s open and drink some beers with the Phillies
my father in law was down there last year and after the game Jenkins and Werth were drinking with them.. Larry Anderson, and Hugh Douglas.. said they were all super cool

Make time to go to Lenny’s! The Official Phillies hangout since the 1950s or 60′s visited the place for the first time when I was down in Tampa for Games 1 and 2 of the World Series, the park isn’t too far from the Trop.

I ran into Madson at Frenchy’s in Clearwater last year, great guy, bought me and my friends a round of beers and was curious as to who we thought the 5th starter should be. I guess the same question can be asked again!

Brian, that is awesome.
So all you guys take like a week off (I assume you work…) to go to Clearwater? I can’t afford to do that right now.. :(

Yeah, really, everybody, if you have the opportunity to go to Clearwater. Do it. Me and a few friends went on a whim a few years ago. Just took off work and drove down and we have been going back every year since.
The tiki bar is just an awesome time. So many awesome places and people in Clearwater, FL. It gets harder to leave each year. LA is a class act and an effing riot.. If you have the chance to be at a bar with him, take it!!
22 DAYS till we leave!!
Also, Season tickets arrived VIA UPS today!!!!! The tickets look amazing!! Super stoked for baseball to start! Can’t come quick enough!!!

I took my vacation already. Of course, I’ll be down there between March 14 and 18, with the PN Tailgate on St. Patty’s Day the main attraction. Should be amazing.

Tony – a little pumped up?
Did you get your email from the Phils about a get together at McFaddens tomorrow night – gifts, Mitch, prizes and dollar dogs! ($3.00 buds too).
Sounds like a time to me. Starts at 8

A friend of mine moved to Florida to be with his girlfriend who’s at vet school at UF right now. A few of us promised we would come visit at some point, so of course we decided on the last week of March, just so we could catch a game in Clearwater while down there. We’ll be there on the 23rd. That said, I’m very much looking forward to this preview of yours, as I’ve never been down there before.
