The Daily Numbers - Sept 21
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.
Forget the Wild Card. The Padres may not lose again. Instead, fix your eyes on the fumbling Mets, who blew another game against the Marlins last night. They Phils are now just a game and a half back, with 9 games left. Down to the wire.
The Daily Numbers: 2 students shot on the campus of Delaware State University in Dover overnight.
300, where the homicide count in Philadelphia stands.
57 fugitives in Delco rounded up by the feds in a sting called Operation Falcon. One woman was founding hiding in her bedroom.
90 years old, age of woman who was beaten up by a thug during a purse-snatching in Port Richmond.
4 years since a man believed to be the Fairmount Park rapist struck in Philadelphia. Police now say DNA is linking him to a rape that occurred this past Aug. 11.
24 hours a day, the hours at the Franklin Institute for the final weekend of the King Tut exhibit. The doors close 11 p.m. Sunday.
8,915 visitors who went through the door of the exhibit last Saturday, the most since it opened in February.
15 cents, what SEPTA wants to hike the price of tokens and transfers. The buck stops here. Again and again.
5 percent dip in homicides recorded by state police in 2006, state police say.
1.4 percent jump overall in crime in Pennsylvania, however.
6 wins in his last 17 starts for Donovan McNabb. Yep, 6-11. Not good.
0 wins for the Eagles so far this year. They’ll try to change that Sunday vs. the Lions. And they’ll do it wearing those silly powder blue and yellow throwback jerseys.
1.5 games back, where Phils are in chasing the Mets.
9 games left in the regular season.
I Don’t Get It (with apologies to Jack McCaffery): The case of the Lehigh provost caught in an Internet sex sting again reminds me that I don’t understand what these people don’t get. One more time, folks: You really don’t know who that is on the other end of the computer chat. Some people apparently are willing to take that chance.
Today’s Upper: In the aftermath of the Amish shooting tragedy a year ago, it now appears that the first state trooper on the scene may have helped save some lives by ripping out part of a window frame with his bare hands. Bravo.
Quote Box: "I’m like everybody else. I’ve got a mortgage and bills to pay. But I’m exploring the offer."
-- Upper Darby police Superintendent Michael Chitwood, on possibly making a Republican challenge to first-term Congressman Joe Sestak, D-7.
