March 17 -- IT'S MADNESS

March Madness has officially hit Phillies camp. The clubhouse televisions have been tuned to CBS for most of the week, and players have been keeping an eye on the scores -- and their pools. Aaron Rowand, who once lived in Las Vegas, was talking about former UNLV players the other day when Ryan Howard walked by and dropped a name from the past.

"George Ackles," Howard said, referring to the big man who played for UNLV from 1988 through 1991.

Asked if he's even old enough to remember Ackles, Howard affirmatively shook his head. "1990, right?" Howard said. "I was 10."
