Happy Sunday, everyone.You never know who you're going to run into at spring training. On the field at Bright House this morning, I spotted Chris Matthews (left) near the dugout. Matthews, a Philadelphia native and host of MSNBC's "Hardball," also is a big baseball fan and was happy to meet Phillies C/INF Chris Coste. A few facts about Matthews: He worked for four Democratic presidents, including Jimmy Carter, as a speechwriter. He's credited with writing, at least in part, the infamous speech in which Carter said America was in a "malaise," although the word "malaise" didn't appear in the original draft.
Editors!
Anyway, both league MVPs -- Ryan Howard and the Twins' Justin Morneau -- are playing today. Here's a question for you: Who will hit more homers this season, Howard or Morneau?
More later, after Cole Hamels tries to snap his string of three straight wretched starts.

I happened to catch Matthews on a radio broadcast last year during a rain delay while Wheeler et al were trying to fill time. Matthews sounded as if he followed the team pretty closely, kinda cool.
