Heidy ho, Philly! There's a "Chill Gripping Plains and Rockies" and the Phils are up a game in the NLDS. On our side of the Mississippi, it's looking like sunny skies and 70 degrees. And now, Headlines!
- Git yer sales tax increase today! And remember! It's only temporary for the next five years! But don't bitch: the revenue is keeping our libraries open.
- Oh, hey, taxes and drilling are what's now holding up the state budget.
- We don't know how we missed this one: 12-year-old girl catches home run ball off Ryan Howard. Turns out, it's his 200th HR and he's the fastest to get to that milestone. RyHo invites girl down to the club house where he meets her and then gives her a signed ball in exchange for his 200th homer ball. Girl's parents find out (were they not with her at the game? unclear) and the mother sues the Phillies and Ryan Howard for "taking advantage" of her child.
- More awesome surveys! This one, by The Sporting News, rates Philadelphia second to Pittsburgh as the Best Sports City. Philly beat out Boston, Chicago, and LA to round out the top five. Sorry, New York: you're sixth.

Wow. The mother of the 12 year old girl suing Ryan Howard gets my vote for Asshole of the Week. The blogger linked to in that item's third link ("HDYSR") -- first runner up.
my mom says, "it's okay, that bratty girl didn't get the right ball back anyway. that's what you get for being bratty."
she thinks they switcheroo'd it up. karma?
