The Daily Numbers - Oct. 4
The Daily Numbers: 0 hits for Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard yesterday. Not going to win many games when that happens.
4 times Utley whiffed in one of the most dismal games of his career.
13 pitches, all it took for Utley to go down four times.
15 at-bats for the top four guys in the Phillies lineup yesterday. They produced zero hits.
2 homers for the Phils, when Aaron Rowand and Pat Burrell went back-to-back. It’s all the offense they managed all afternoon.
2.4 million dollars in visitor spending the baseball playoffs are expected to bring into the region. Hey, even when we lose we win.
250,000 dollars in federal aid authorities Montgomery County want to get their hands on to continue their crackdown against illegal poker machines in local taverns.
4 cats and 16 dogs taken from a reeking home on Horrocks Street in the Mayfair section of Northeast Philadelphia. The owners are facing animal cruelty charges. Neighbors had been complaining about odors emanating from the residence. Ya think?
4 incidents under investigation in Philadelphia in which a taxi cab driver has held up his passengers. Talk about turning the tables.
3 armored car guards were shot in a heist in the Rhawnhurst section of Northeast Philadelphia near the Roosevelt Mall this morning. One is believed to have died.
1,000 men who have answered the call for volunteers to patrol city streets in Philadelphia.
100,000 dollars in props and costumes of the Greater Kensington String Band that went up in smoke in an arson fire that swept through a warehouse.
Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
Did anyone else have the distinct feeling of the Eagles vs. Tampa Bay during yesterday’s disappointing playoff opener for the Phils against the Rockies?
I Don’t Get It (with apologies to Jack McCaffery): The mayors of Philly and Denver, as politicians often do, are making a wager on the baseball playoffs. Only John Street could come up with this. The stakes? Three trees and a sandwich. If the Phils win, we get three trees and a buffalo burger. If the Rockies take it, we’ll send them three trees and a cheesesteak. Really going out on a limb there, your honors.
Today’s Upper: Phillies Phever is good for you. Officially. A health and exercise prof at Rowan University says the whole thing has an uplifting effect on the region’s psyche. Unless they lose again this afternoon, of course. Then there will be guards posted on all area bridges.
Quote Box: "I expect virtually no one at the ballpark will be rooting for him outside of his parents, grandfather, uncle, girlfriend and one of his sisters …. We’re going with our Groucho glasses."
-- Fred Buchholz, father of Taylor Buchholz, the former Springfield High star and 2000 Daily Times Player of the Year who now pitches for the Colorado Rockies.
