And in other SEPTA strike news, the union is apparently considering a "revised offer" from SEPTA. Might the strike end by the evening rush hour, and perhaps more importantly, does the "revised offer" give in to some of the union's demands, which will pretty much require commuters to open up our checkbooks to cover increased costs?
The Philadelphia Parking Authority will expand cab service to work throughout the city during the Local 234 strike.
Iceman Cliff Lee didn't have his lights-out stuff last night, but it was good enough as the Cardiac Kids v. 2.0 forced the World Series to a Game 6 with an 8-6 win. It'll be Pedro vs. Horseface on Wednesday.
Fortunately, Philly got some measure of victory over New York yesterday, as the Eagles trounced the New Jersey York Giants, 40-17.

We love to hate SEPTA. It may be one of the best public transportation systems in the country, but that's cold comfort when your bus doesn't come, or the driver curses you, or when the people on board are doing convincing renditions of the elusive hyena-werewolf-zombie monster. But, that said, we depend on it. We depend on our trolleys, buses, and subways to go to work, school, the doctor, and the World F'ing Series.
