Campaigning for Barack Obama?
Not yet, although he'd like to.
Jimmy Rollins, who started today's game at his usual shortstop position, was lifted before the fifth inning after not running hard on a pop fly to shallow left field in the third. The fly ball was dropped by Reds shortstop Paul Janish, and Rollins wound up only on first base. It seems highly unlikely that Charlie Manuel would pull the reigning NL MVP for lack of hustle, but thus far, we've received no status report on any possible injuries. Typically, when a player is injured, we receive an update a few innings later.
Stay tuned.

On an unrelated note, it seems Cole Hamels has adopted Chase Utley's batting stance, right down to tapping the bat on his left shoulder as he awaits the pitch. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, I suppose. We'll ask Hamels about it after the game.
