The Daily Numbers: 2 months since 16-year-old Faith Sinclair was struck and killed as she crossed Chester Pike by a hit-and-run driver. The county investigative grand jury is now looking at the case.
4 suspects on the Chester Police list of 12 Most Wanted that are now in custody. That means there are 8 to go.
4 years ago, when standout soccer player William Trippley was fatally shot, an innocent victim caught in the crossfire of a gunfight in Chester. Michael Cropps has now been charged with his murder.
56 dogs and cats that have been removed from what are being described as “horrific” conditions inside a kennel in Emmaus, Lehigh County. Authorities say hundreds of animals were crowded together in unsanitary conditions.
65 age of the owner of an auto repair shop in Lansdale who faces charges that he inappropriately touched and exposed himself to a minor male who worked in the shop.
2 months, age of tot who police say was shaken and then thrown to the floor by a man in Delaware. The newborn suffered multiple fractures and severe brain damage.
25,000 to as many as 50,000 music fans who are expected to gather on the Ben Franklin Parkway Saturday for a free acoustic concert by Bruce Springsteen, part of a voter registration drive by Barack Obama.
15 of October, last day for bids for the ailing Boscov’s department store chain. An auction will follow on Oct. 20 and a sale hearing the next day. It looks like the family store will be acquired by Versa Capital Management of Philadelphia.
7 point lead for Barack Obama over John McCain in the latest Keystone Poll of Pa. voters. But a Quinnipiac poll of Pa. shows Obama with a much bigger lead.
11.5 million people in Pennsylvania who will be on a statewide list of potential jurors being put together by the state Supreme Court.
74 to 25 vote last night by which the Senate passed that new and improved $700 billion economic bailout plan. Both Pa. senators, Casey and Specter, voted in favor.
220 workplace fatalities in Pa. last year, 93 of them in the Philly region.
723 million dollar price tag on the new, scaled-back health care plan being proposed by Gov. Ed Rendell.
15 million more miles Pennsylvania motorists drove in July 2008 compared to July 2007. So much for the high price of gas.
1 penny dip in gas prices overnight. Seems like it goes down about a penny a day. Average price in the region is now $3.53.
8 superb innings for Cole Hamels to win Game 1 of the NLDS vs. the Brewers yesterday.
9 strikeouts, 2 hits and 0 runs for the Phillies ace.
1 more scary 9th inning for Phils closer Brad Lidge.
45,929 hearts in the throats of fans jammed into Citizens Bank Park as Manuel opted to lift Manuel and go to Lidge, then watch as Lidge put the tying runs in scoring position.
42 straight times this year that Lidge has sealed the deal.
6 p.m. start for Game 2 tonight.

Bring on CC Sabathia. The Brewers’ ace will be looking to deliver what Milwaukee desperately needs, one victory of the two games played in Philly. Sabathia again will take the hill tonight on three days rest, as he’s been doing now for the past couple of weeks down the stretch. If the Phils can beat Sabathia, they should seal the deal in Milwaukee this weekend. If Sabathia prevails, it’s a whole new ballgame. Get ready for a marathon Sunday, with both the Eagles and Phillies playing.

I Don’t Get It: How do you live with yourself for two months knowing that you struck a young girl and then fled the scene, leaving her to die. And how if you were a passenger in that car do you stay silent about what you know? I don’t get it.

Today’s Upper: Thank god for the world’s greatest invention, the remote control. Thumbs will getting a workout tonight around 9 as the Phils game winds down and the vice presidential debate kicks off.

Quote Box: “It was pretty nerve-wracking.”
