Moving Beyond 10,000 Losses: An occasional look at why it’s so difficult to be a Phillies – hell for that matter a Philadelphia – sports fan.
Hey, there’s always those Fightin’ Phils. Don’t look now, but they’re only 2 games back in the wild-card race after beating the Marlins again yesterday. That’s just one game more than the margin by which the Eagles trail the rest of the NFC East.
The Daily Numbers: 3 teens under arrest in Upper Darby in a series of car break-ins and other crimes that have terrorized Drexel Hill.
1,630 families in the St. Mary Magdalen parish in Upper Prov who are getting a new church.
58, age of man charged with selling heroin to police in Upper Darby.
5 dead and 6 injured in another wild weekend of mayhem and violence on Philadelphia streets.
19 age of sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania who died of meningitis, causing a health warning for the Philly campus.
6 years since the 9/11 attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
2 oys injured in a hit-run accident in the Frankford section of Philadelphia.
1, age of girl struck and killed by a man who was backing out of his driveway in Allentown. It was his daughter.
2 people killed more than 30 years ago by a man who escaped from a New Jersey mental health facility.
15 years, time spent at helm of Cabrini College by Antoinette Iadarola.
2 punts the Eagles botched during yesterday’s ugly season-opening loss in Green Bay.
3 wins against 6 losses for Andy Reid on opening day in his nine years at the Eagles’ helm.
13 wins for ageless Jamie Moyer, who gave the Phils 5-plus innings yesterday in their win over the Marlins.
2 games back in the wild-card hunt for the Phils. They ain’t dead yet. As for the Eagles, that may be another story.
I Don’t Get It (with apologies to Jack McCaffery): I actually just heard this, a promo for an upcoming Fox TV show. "We’re looking up Tinseltown’s skirt and it’s not always wearing panties." Nice. I don’t get it.
Today’s Upper: Hey, we get to show off our not-so-special teams on Monday Night Football next week, as the Birds have the Redskins at the Linc for the home opener.
Quote Box: "People just don’t seem to care the way they once did."
-- Rev. William Holmes of Maran-Atha Tabernacle Church in Darby, on the approaching sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
