Feb. 19 -- DAY 6: TODAY ON 'TODAY'

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Woke up to news that Fidel (not Fabio) Castro is stepping down. There also are big showdowns today in Wisconsin and Hawaii between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. But when I turned on "The Today Show," Kyle Kendrick and Brett Myers were about to be interviewed about the prank the Phillies pulled on Kendrick last Saturday. Seems like our priorities are a little out of whack, doesn't it? Shane Victorino wound up stealing the show.

In case you missed it ...

Also, Mike Schmidt has weighed in with his thoughts on new third baseman Pedro Feliz.

It isn't all fun and games for the Phillies this spring. Charlie Manuel gave his annual speech to the team before today's first full-squad workout, and he talked about more serious things. Like getting to the World Series.

Any sign of heavy hitting Gil Velazquez - or his car - in Phillies camp?

There are times - fleeting as they may be - when I think the Phillies should have stuck with Rodrigo Richard Barajas.

just curious - among the players who gets the nod - Obama, Clinton, or McCain?
