The Daily Numbers: 3 games left in the baseball season, and the Phillies are in first place. OK, they’re tied with the Mets. What’s better? Watching the Phils win, or watching the Mets fold up like a cheap suit
10 wins for Kyle Kendrick. Tell me the kid is not the rookie of the year. Visions of Bob "Whirlybird" Walk.
250,000 dollar cash bail for the 19-year-old Drexel Hill woman charged with killing her newborn infant. She was held for trial on all charges after a hearing Thursday.
15 cents more it is going to cost SEPTA riders for a token or transfer, starting Monday. Tokens go from $1.30 to $1.45, transfers from 60 cents to 75.
400 hybrid buses being bought by SEPTA. They’ll be better for the environment and more fuel efficient. They won’t make you feel any better about the fare hikes.
1 suspect shot and killed by a Philadelphia police officer investigating a robbery at a South Philly convenience store.
40 people sickened at a Harrisburg-area hotel. Police believe the flu-like illness is centered on a Holiday Inn in Swatara Township.
100,000 prize that goes along with the Liberty Medal to Irish rocker Bono. He’ll donate it to the organization he heads that is pushing awareness of AIDS in Africa. Class act.
67 buildings in Philadelphia that could face a strike by union janitors who clean the facilities.
3 billion dollars, what GM believes it might be able to save with the new deal they have hammered out with the UAW.
40,589 towel-waving maniacs in Citizens Bank Park last night. Look for much the same over the next three days.
21 saves for Brett Myers. Hey, we’ll even forgive him for that homer to open the ninth.
75 greatest Philadelphians? Of course the list includes Delco’s own Jimmy Murray.
Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
Who’s happiest about the Phillies? Maybe Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb, who have been able to prepare for the Giants completely out of the spotlight that usually accompanies their every move during the season.
I Don’t Get It (with apologies to Jack McCaffery): Police in Seaside Heights, N.J., say a store video captures a mother using a toddler to steal a handbag. Mother of the year possibility there.
Today’s Upper: What else? Let’s go Phils.
Quote Box: "I heard a whoosh sound, then I could feel the pressure of something falling."
-- Sharon Hill Fire Co. Chief Bill Benecke, on wall collapse that briefly trapped several of his volunteers.
