The Daily Numbers: 125 million dollar contract extension signed by Ryan Howard and the Phillies yesterday.
0-for-3 with a strikeout, what Howard did last night vs. the Giants.
2 weekend shootings probed in Chester that left 2 men hospitalized.
75, age of homeowner in Aston who came face-to-face with burglary suspect in his home.
4 2-foot-high pot plants seized when police responded to a domestic disturbance in an Upper Darby home.
7-2 vote by Interboro School Board to hold half-day on Primary Day and half-day on Saturday, June 5 to make up for snow days.
3 million dollars, what the state is spending to push their 54-day tax amnesty program, which they hope will result in $190 million in new revenue.
3 bidders who will step up to the plate today as the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News go on the auction block. Our thoughts are on our colleagues at the city newspapers.
11 to 23 months in jail for the owner of a tractor-trailer that was involved in a fatal accident on the Schuylkill Expressway.
25, age of woman missing since she left a New York City bar with a man. Her remains were found yesterday in a remote spot in Pa.
24 pit bulls seized from a home in Delaware.
1 day cut off the teachers’ strike in the North Penn School District. A judge ordered teachers back to the classrooms today. The teachers are asking him to order the board to restart contract talks. Not a bad idea.
26, age of man killed when he was struck by a hit-run driver in Cherry Hill.
16, age of the victim, 61, age of a doctor in Philadelphia accused of raping a teen girl.
1.2 million being donated to Temple University for a new communications center by philanthropist Kal Rudman.
12.5 million paid for a residence in Philly, highest price in the city’s history.
7 innings and 5 strikeouts last night for Roy Halladay, but he fell for the first time to the Giants, 5-1.
4-1 record now for Halladay, with an ERA of 1.80. Not too shabby.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.Now that Ryan Howard is locked up pretty much for life, expect all eyes to turn to Jayson Werth. Do the Phils have any money left for him?

I Don’t Get It: What does it say about us that we are willing to pay a man $125 million to play a kid’s game, albeit better than almost anyone on the planet, at least when it comes to slugging balls into the cheap seats. Unfortunately, there really aren’t any cheap seats any more.
*
Today’s Upper: Kudos to Ridley police and the other departments who corraled a guy they suspect may be responsible for a series of pharmacy heists in the region.

Quote Box: “What was most important in a deal like this, was Ryan wanted to be a Phillie and they wanted him to be a Phillie for life.”
