The Daily Numbers: 3:07 p.m., when life as we know it stops and the first pitch of the Phils-Rockies series is uncorked.
0 times Cole Hamels has faced the Rockies in his young career.
0 interest in the Eagles as the Phillies now own the town and the Birds limp into their Bye Week with a 1-3 record. Another couple of losses and they’ll be saying Bye to their season.
7 more days you have to register to vote to be able to cast a ballot in the November elections.
3 million dollars the Ridley School Board is borrowing to do roofing work at 7 buildings in the district.
2 more former officers of the Plymouth Ambulance Squad in Montgomery County who are going to jail in a scam in which they looted the organization’s coffers for more than $2 million.
400,000 dollars, what the state of New Jersey is paying to a former state trooper who says he was beaten and harassed by a secret group of rogue officers.
50 Taser stun guns being purchased by police in New Castle County, Delaware. Don’t mess with these folks. You could be in for a jolt.
400 people who plan to show up to protest the appearance today by President Bush in Lancaster County. Obviously none of them are Phillies fans.
45.78 stock price of Hershey Co. yesterday. That’s down more than 3 percent after their chief announced he would step down.
21 percent dip in sales reported by Ford in September.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan. 14 years. That’s a long time to wait between playoff appearances. Enjoy it, folks.
I Don’t Get It (with apologies to Jack McCaffery): Isiah Thomas says he is not just innocent of the sexual harassment charges a jury convicted him on yesterday. The boss of the NBA’s New York Knicks says he’s "very" innocent. Sounds like a guy who is protesting too much.
Today’s Upper: Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame at his alma mater, Souderton High School in Bucks County. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy and class act.
Quote Box: "They’re coming from all over. I even got an e-mail from a guy in Manchester, England."
-- Phillies director of fun and games John Brazer, on the huge demand for playoff tickets.
