The Daily Numbers: 2 homicides, the ruling in the deaths of a mother and her 3-year-old son in a Chester apartment.
2 drug overdoses believed responsible for the deaths of two other adults found inside that apartment.
0 rulings in terms of who strangled Lindsay Cassidy and her little boy, Kolby O’Brien.
3,500 dollar raise for former Chester Police Chief John Finnegan, who was demoted last year.
1,044 dollars stolen from a scholarship fund run by Lesley Lane at Andrea’s Attic in Marcus Hook. Police have now charged 1 person in the heist, another is being sought.
201,190 dollars a year, what Linda Grobman will be making as the new superintendent of Radnor School District.
30 million dollar loan approved by County Council for various capital projects.
3 state chase from Delaware to Chester and into New Jersey involving a stolen U-Haul truck. One man was charged.
0 free rides for the Guardian Angels. They asked SEPTA officials if they could ride the subway lines for free as they patrol in the wake of a rash of attacks on riders. Their request was rejected. SEPTA says its charter prevents such a program for any community-based group.
600 pounds of cocaine and $1 million in cash seized by the feds and resulting in the indictment of two Philly men.
20, age of woman who reported being raped on a SEPTA subway platform under City Hall yesterday. She recanted the claim several hours later.
50 years of Crayola crayons celebrated Wednesday, in particular the firm’s signature 64-crayon box.
2 donkeys fatally mauled by pit bulls in South Jersey.
54 large homes that have had their values reassessed in Philadelphia. That includes the mansion of Sen. Vince Fumo, which is being quadrupled. It used to be assessed at $250,000. Fumo tried to sell it for $7 million.
5 alarm fire that roared through a former factory building in North Philadelphia early this morning.
100 sexual encounters believed taped on hidden cameras inside his home by a former commissioner in Cumberland County, Pa. He’s resigned his post.
3.26 a gallon for unleaded regular gas in the region. That’s up a penny. And it’s another new high for 2008. Diesel stands at $4.28.
2 errors for Eric Bruntlett filling in for Jimmy Rollins last night.
4 errors overall for the Phils as they kicked one away to the Mets at Shea, 8-2.
6 walks in a 2 and a third innings for Phils starter Kyle Kendrick. Not good. And it won’t ease concerns about the back end of the rotation. Adam Eaton takes the hill tonight.
230 game streak snapped when Jimmy Rollins was scratched last night with the tender ankle.
10 wins in their last 12 games for the Washington Capitals, who open the Stanley Cup playoffs Friday night against the Flyers.
25 points for Andre Iguodala as the Sixers continue to roll, beating the Pistons last night 101-94.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
Here’s a question that never came up last year: Who’s Jimmy Rollins’ backup? Whoever it was never got on the field. Rollins played in all 162 games. The value of the MVP was clear in his absence last night, when his replacement, newcomer Eric Bruntlett, had a brutal night in the field with two errors.

I Don’t Get It: A mural at a Philadelphia elementary school was painted over after vandals defaced it with racist graffiti. I don’t get it.

Today’s Upper: The Masters golf tournament starts today. It’s about as close to perfection as sports gets. You’ll find me in front of the TV most of the weekend.

Quote Box: “It is unlikely any individual, beyond this group of four, played any role in the homicides.”
