to those who have not gone to spring training, you must go at least once in your lifetime. i am fortunate enough to go every year being a florida native. it is my favorite time of year. it’s almost like you can not go out this time of year without running into a MLB player. i went to duffy’s after the game and got to meet matt himself, anthony, and zoe. pretty cool meeting people whose posts and blogs i read and refresh all day long. i did not stay long enough to meet any of the players this year though. spring training just begun and there is plenty of time for that! go mets!

Duffy’s is a fantastic bar. I have never seen so many TVs in one building in my life. I wish something like this existed in NYC.

Duaner is a funny guy…I had the comment about the taxi on the tip of my tongue but I figured he probably wouldn’t think it was funny. He seemed to be in good hands when we left though…I think the Mets personalities were starting to outnumber the fans in our corner of the bar.

Matt, it was nice to meet you and I hope I run into you again this week.

It was an excellent time. Great to meet everyone. BTW, the beers were 241 all night….

Thanks! And, yes, I suppose you are right about priorities.

I’m going to be at that same hotel on those same days. Small world…

I sure hope that you or somebody made sure that Duaner got home ok and didn’t need to take a taxi.

I think everyone who is a regular respects his work or they wouldn’t read the blog.

I think he should stay the same person he has been and not be “with the big boys” … he is giving us his insight as a fan.

We don’t know how he is around the other “big boys” in person, but I am confident he is professional … but he is writing for MetsBlog a blog for the fans by fans. And I hope that never changes.

Matt – Keep up the great work. I know I will be hitting up Duffy’s when I get down there is a couple of weeks.

Congrats and good luck. Sometimes there are bigger priorities than baseball. Sometimes. LOL.

i’m sorry i couldn’t make the two hour drive up 95, but we’re (my wife, really) are having a baby (our second) next week and we just had too much to do to get ready. i really wanted to come up and meet the guys.
