The Daily Numbers: 2 games to none lead for the Phils in their best-of-5 series against the Brewers after they beat the mighty CC Sabathia last night.
90 minutes of debate between vice presidential candidates Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. I’d call it a draw. A CBS poll of undecided voters has it 46-21 for Biden. I hardly think so.
10 minutes when Phillies fans and poltical junkies were furiously flipping channels between the playoff game and the debate.
50 to 41 percent lead for Barack Obama in a new CBS national poll of the presidential race.
3 businessmen, including 2 from Delco, indicted by the feds yesterday on charges they helped people bypass U.S. immigration laws to get into the country.
4 men indicted in a high-tech poker scam looking to swindle an Atlantic City Casino.
38 and 22, ages of a mother and daughter police in Philadelphia say were operating a prostitution service from their Wissinoming home that lured customers on the Craigslist Web site.
17,000 dollar ring ripped off from a Gordon’s jewelry store in the Oxford Valley Mall in the middle of the afternoon.
3 people wounded when gunfire erupted last night in the Olney section of Philadelphia.
4,000 dollar watch stolen from a woman who was cleaning a church in Wilmington by someone who walked in and took a purse containing the watch, cash and credit cards.
3 students at Northampton High School who have been diagnosed with the MRSA staph virus.
4.7 percent dip in revenue reported by the Pa. Revenue Department. That equates to a cool $281 million. State officials are now looking for ways to make up the shortfall.
4 more days you have to register to vote. The deadline is Monday, Oct. 6.
3 cent dip in price of gas. Average price at pump in Philly region now stands at $3.50.
1 grand slam in the postseason in the long history of the Phillies. That happened last night courtesy of Shane Victorino.
9 pitches in an epic at-bat by pitcher Brett Myers in the second inning. He drew a walk and after another walk to Jimmy Rollins, set the stage for Victorino’s heroics.
7 very good innings for Myers, who overcame a shaky first inning to mow down the Brewers.
2 games to none lead now for the Phillies, the exact opposite of where they stood last year.
10 runners left on base for the Phils. Most games that would come back to haunt them.
2 straight playoff saves for Phils closer Brad Lidge. That makes 43 in a row for the season
46,208 fans jammed into Citizens Bank Park, a record crowd.
6:30 p.m. start for Game 3 Saturday night in Milwaukee.
1 p.m. start for Eagles-Redskins Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Remember the Eagles?

So much for Andy Reid’s play-calling, Brian Westbrook’s ankle and Donovan McNabb’s ability in the clutch. The Phillies own this town. Yo, Birds, call us at Halloween.

I Don’t Get It: All eyes will be on the House today as they plan another vote on the $700 billion economic bailout plan. They are being urged by all sides to pass the measure. Yesterday the Dow tanked another 300 points. What don’t they understand about the position we’re in.

Today’s Upper: I have two words for you, Phillies fans. Burt Hooton. Anyone else thinking back to a ‘70s playoff game and the Dodgers pitcher being booed off the mound during that epic at-bat for Brett Myers and a meltdown by Brewers’ ace CC Sabathia?

Quote Box: “She kicked butt. She put Joe Biden on the defensive.”
-- State Rep. Steve Barrar, R-160, on Sarah Palin’s performance at last night’s VP debate.
