The Daily Numbers: 4 letter in the popular expletive blurted out by Chase Utley after he was booed by New York fans last night. Unfortunately for Utley, they were picked up by his TV mike. He apologized.

2 doctors injured in Bryn Mawr when the scooter they were riding was struck by an SUV.
1,500 feet, how high a proposed skyscraper will stand in Philadelphia. It’s expected to be reviewed by the Planning Commission today. It would be the tallest building between New York City and Chicago.

9 arson fires, mostly in abandoned houses, reported in Sussex County, Del.
