Is that a sign of a turnaround last night from Jimmy Rollins? His three hits sparked the Phils, who also got another good effort from starter Brett Myers.

I Don’t Get It: Why did the Democrats wait until 10:30 last night to roll out the star of the night, Michelle Obama? Prime time is one thing, but that’s just too late to get to the featured speaker.

There was a cool $1,000 in cash as well. She did the right thing. Good for her.
