I’m With the Boomers: Edmundo Sosa Has Gotta Hustle Out of the Box
The Phillies lost to the Astros 6-5 on Tuesday night, and things could’ve gone differently if Edmundo Sosa hadn’t pretty much blown it with his baserunning: Phillies down 6-4 in the ninth, no outs, Bryson Stott on first. Sosa drives a high-arching ball to right-center field that takes a favorable bounce off the wall, scoring […] The post I’m With the Boomers: Edmundo Sosa Has Gotta Hustle Out of the Box appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The Flyers and Sixers released the first renderings of the new South Philly arena on Tuesday, noting in the press release that the rounded oval design pays homage to The Spectrum of years past.

MAC Reverses Course, Asks the NCAA to Recognize Western Michigan as the “Actual” Winner Over Michigan
Michigan’s last-second win over Western Michigan on Saturday was about as wild an ending as you’ll ever see in a football game, and the MAC simply will not stand for it.

Steinbrecher sent a letter to the NCAA and the College Football Playoff asking that they recognize Western […] The post MAC Reverses Course, Asks the NCAA to Recognize Western Michigan as the “Actual” Winner Over Michigan appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Philly Police Chief Muses on the “Wishful Thinking” of Pedestrian Walkways at the Sports Complex
Joe Donahue does a nice job with his interviews for Birds Nest Media.

Mike Trout and the Angels Officially Miss the Playoffs Again
Saw this tweet and it got me thinking about Mike Trout’s career again: Mike Trout sure is a loser, huh. Not that this is anything new. We’ve known this for a very long time.

The Hottest Team in Major League Soccer is the Philadelphia Union
Doop Doop to your broke ass, as the Philadelphia Union win again, this time 2-0 at home over Montreal.

Villanova Seemingly Allergic to Normal Endings Since Joining Patriot League
After two weeks of college football, it’s the Villanova Wildcats who have played to a couple of totally whack endings.

Temple isn’t Gonna Beat Penn State With Two Quarterbacks Taking Turns
Temple handled business against Rhode Island in Week 1, winning 38-14 in front of a sparse Lincoln Financial Field crowd.

The Phillies’ NL East Hopes Are Not Mathematically Over, But…

The Phillies are currently five games behind the […] The post The Phillies’ NL East Hopes Are Not Mathematically Over, But… appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Ben Simmons Returns to the NBA, Thankfully Not With the Sixers
Ben to the Kings: This is the perfect landing spot for Ben. Sacramento is a terrible, small market team that hasn’t won a playoff series in more than 20 years. There will be no eyeballs on that team.
