We're just gonna start calling the Phillies the "Cardiac Kids v. 2.0" after last night's bottom of the 9th magic. The Phightin's are now just one win away from a return trip to the World Series.

And speaking of last night's game, check out this "Dewey Defeats Truman"-esque headline that was posted on MLB.com before last night's game was even over. FAIL. (Via Preston & Steve.)

A former teacher's aide in Burlington County, New Jersey has been sentenced to five years in prison for having consensual sex with a 16-year-old student. (Via Philly.com.)

Casinos in general have taken a pretty hard hit "in this economy." But, amazingly, Philadelphia Park Casino is hiring!

The state of Pennsylvania, on the other hand, is likely to announce layoffs in the near future.

Today's AccuWeather forecast: brightness, niceness, comfortableness, pleasantriness, with clouds and sun-ness.
