The Daily Numbers -- March 31
The Daily Numbers: 4 bodies found in an apartment in Chester Saturday.
0 evidence so far of foul play, no weapon was found, no trauma on the bodies, no sign of a struggle. In other words, a mystery.
5, age of child who police believe drowned in a swimming pool in a Tinicum hotel Saturday night.
300 trees in Chadds Ford that could be chopped down as PECO looks to clear brush in the area of its power lines. The locals are not happy.
1 teen and 1 adult killed in separate hit-and-run accidents in Philadelphia. Police believe they may have found the SUV that is believed to have struck and killed the 15-year-old girl Friday night.
20,000 people who showed up in State College for a rally by Sen. Barack Obama. Gee, you’d think the Nittany Lions were holding spring football practice.
4 people hurt when fire ripped through a house in the Frankford section of Philadelphia Sunday.
30 cars destroyed when fire roared through a Camden County dealership Sunday night. The fire at Chevrolet 73 is under investigation.
20, age of Rowan University student struck by a pickup truck Sunday. She’s in critical condition.
2 popular businesses on the boardwalk in Ocean City, Md., destroyed fire fire Sunday.
5 seconds, how long it took to implode the 18-story Mantua Hall public housing project in Philly yesterday morning.
4 gay couples who took part in a commitment ceremony celebrated by Mayor Bill Welch in State College over the weekend. More than 500 people cheered the ceremony.
3 kids killed in a Baltimore hotel. The children’s father then called the front desk to admit he had killed the kids.
4 No 1 seeds that have advanced to the Final Four in the NCAA basketball tournament.
162 games in the marathon baseball season. They play Game One today at Citizens Bank Park.
2 straight MVPs for the Phils in Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins. Could Chase Utley be next?
2 straight losses that have cooled off the red-hot Sixers. They fell, 91-88, to the Cavs yesterday.
1 win already for today’s Phillies’ foe. The Nationals opened their new park, including an appearance from President George W. Bush to throw out the first pitch, with a walk-off homer in the 9th.

OK, here goes the fearless forecast: Phils win 88 games and take the wild card, while the Braves surprise by winning the NL East. Phils also rue the day they did not re-sign pitcher Kyle Lohse.

I Don’t Get It: The knuckleheads are back, bigger than ever. Vandals spray-painted swastikas and slurs on a synagogue in Wilkes-Barre over the weekend.

Today’s Upper: In the wake of last week’s killing on a subway platform in Center City, the Guardian Angels showed up to patrol the underground spots, as well as on the subways, this weekend. I say the more the merrier. It’s pretty clear people do not feel safe on the subway, and like the idea of the Angels’ presence.
