Trea Turner Had a Rollercoaster Baseball Game on Monday Night
Monday night may have been the wildest baseball game of Trea Turner’s 12-year career. Turner has been struggling on the defensive side of the ball. He has four errors in the last week, and is up to 15 errors on the year, after only committing 8 in 2025. The miscues did not stop on Monday […] The post Trea Turner Had a Rollercoaster Baseball Game on Monday Night appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The World Cup Final Wasn’t Any More Boring Than Super Bowl 60
Noted soccer expert Skip Bayless: Not that we care what Skip thinks, but his tweet is a setup for a counterargument. It seemed like plenty of people were underwhelmed by the World Cup final, and it’s hard to argue against that because Spain completely dominated Argentina. As much as you appreciate and respect what the […] The post The World Cup Final Wasn’t Any More Boring Than Super Bowl 60 appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Alec Bohm Suggests Phillies Offensive Slump is Because Pitchers are Really Good Now
After the Phillies lost to the Mets 6-1 on Sunday – their second loss in three games to the division rival and fifth in their last 10 – Alec Bohm was asked why he thinks the Phils have struggled at the plate lately, and had this to say: “A lot of it’s just got to […] The post Alec Bohm Suggests Phillies Offensive Slump is Because Pitchers are Really Good Now appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies’ Field of Dreams Uniforms are Better Than the Road Grays and Possibly the City Connects
These are nice: It’s an appropriate throwback look for a throwback game, which will be played next month in Dyersville, Iowa. It’s about 35 minutes west from the bustling metropolis of Dubuque. These uniforms pull from the designs of the 1930s and 1940s, with the block P hat, navy trim, and tilted “Phillies” written in […] The post The Phillies’ Field of Dreams Uniforms are Better Than the Road Grays and Possibly the City Connects appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Gabriel Rincones Jr. Not Having His Sunglasses on Shows How Unprepared the Phillies are to Win
The Phillies lost to the Mets on Sunday. They dropped two of three in the series. In their last ten games, they’re 5-5. And if you’re wondering why the Phillies are slumping, look no further than Gabriel Rincones Jr.’s bald unpreparedness as he tracks a fly ball without his sunglasses on, then has to scramble […] The post Gabriel Rincones Jr. Not Having His Sunglasses on Shows How Unprepared the Phillies are to Win appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Donald Trump Wins the World Cup With Spain
President Trump has done it again. One year after winning the Club World Cup with Chelsea F.C., he was back in “New York / New Jersey Stadium” with Spain to claim the Copa Mundial after a hard-fought 1-nil win over Argentina: lol We saw this coming, didn’t we? He was gonna do the same thing […] The post Donald Trump Wins the World Cup With Spain appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Phillies Reportedly Calling Up Alex McFarlane
The Phillies are calling up their 17th-ranked prospect Alex McFarlane, according to multiple reports. McFarlane was brought up to the majors back on April 24th but never made an appearance. At the time, the Phillies had Brad Keller in their bullpen and were not struggling for arms. That is no longer the case. McFarlane, 25, […] The post Phillies Reportedly Calling Up Alex McFarlane appeared first on Crossing Broad .
World Cup Final: British Broadcaster Thought Pharrell Williams was “AKA Rocky”
This was pretty funny from the World Cup final: Love how Guy Mowbray corrects it from “AKA Rocky” to “A$AP Rocky,” but it’s still the wrong person. I guess they do kind of look alike while wearing glasses and sitting there in a luxury box, but still. There were generic complaints about the FIFA broadcast […] The post World Cup Final: British Broadcaster Thought Pharrell Williams was “AKA Rocky” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Cam Skattebo: Great Football Player and Also Dumber Than a Box of Rocks
When Cam Skattebo was carted off of Lincoln Financial Field in October of 2025, the Philadelphia crowd gave him a standing ovation. Eagles fans know a baller when they see one, hence the show of respect for an NFC East division rival. He was only two weeks removed from a 19-carry game against the Birds […] The post Cam Skattebo: Great Football Player and Also Dumber Than a Box of Rocks appeared first on Crossing Broad .

I Regret to Inform You That Jalen Brunson Refusing to Sign a Giants Helmet Was Pretty Cool
I’ve been pretty outspoken on my Jalen Brunson opinion: I do not like the guy. I’m a Saint Joe’s alum who hates Villanova. I’m a Sixers fan who hates the Knicks. I’m a Philly native who wants New York fans unhappy at all times. I’m a defender of ethical hoops who hates foul grifting bullshit.

A List of Everyone to Blame for Kyle Schwarber’s Bullshit Non-Home Run
Kyle Schwarber knew it was gone. The broadcast knew it was gone. Everyone in the ballpark and watching at home, bettors included, knew it was gone. The towering drive soared through the smoke-choked air, dropped into the stands, and bounced back onto the field as the crowd cheered. That’s a home run. Tie game. Kyle’s […] The post A List of Everyone to Blame for Kyle Schwarber’s Bullshit Non-Home Run appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Jamie Drysdale Deal is Done, and it’s a Good One
Danny B checking off boxes: This is less money than Simon Nemec and Pavel Mintyukov, who just got five years each at $36 million. That’s $7.2 million AAV. Drysdale’s contract comes in one year shorter in term, but the AAV is $6.5 million, which is the same number that Dmitry Orlov, Torey Krug, and Justin […] The post The Jamie Drysdale Deal is Done, and it’s a Good One appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I’ve Had it With These Karens Posting Nasty and Incommensurate One-Star Chipotle Reviews on Google
Backstory: There’s a relatively new Chipotle up the street, in Towamencin Township. I went up there on Thursday and the employees were lamenting the fact that they have to listen to shitty music while working. I guess it’s corporate-selected fluff music? Something like that. We didn’t get too deep into it, but they wanted to […] The post I’ve Had it With These Karens Posting Nasty and Incommensurate One-Star Chipotle Reviews on Google appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Aaron Nola is Turning a Corner at the Right Time
Aaron Nola tossed six innings of three-run ball on Thursday night. Considering how his 2026 season started, you’ll take that every day of the week and twice on Sundays. The last 17 months have been pretty nightmarish for the Phillies’ veteran arm. Nola made 17 starts in 2025, totaling a 6.01 ERA before going down […] The post Aaron Nola is Turning a Corner at the Right Time appeared first on Crossing Broad .
$4 Million and a Designated Player Slot Honestly Feels Like an Underpay for Kai Wagner’s Philadelphia Return
In a totally unexpected turn of events, the Union are bringing back Kai Wagner from Birmingham City in the English Championship: Sky reporter Florian Pettenberg says the move is “driven by personal reasons,” and there’s been some chatter about the family being unsettled in England. If that’s true, it wouldn’t be too surprising considering Wagner […] The post $4 Million and a Designated Player Slot Honestly Feels Like an Underpay for Kai Wagner’s Philadelphia Return appeared first on Crossing...
This Phillies Fan Pulled Off the Perfect Celebrity Encounter With Kyle Schwarber in Avalon
The baseball season is a notoriously long, 162-game grind, especially for a player as consistent and productive as Kyle Schwarber. Throw in a near-win at the Home Run Derby and a (not great) All-Star Game appearance, and it’s good to know he took a well-deserved day off in Avalon on Wednesday, having interactions like this […] The post This Phillies Fan Pulled Off the Perfect Celebrity Encounter With Kyle Schwarber in Avalon appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Brad Keller Suffers Torn UCL in Right Elbow
Phillies reliever Brad Keller has suffered a torn UCL in his throwing elbow, the Phillies announced ahead of Thursday night’s game vs. the Mets: Keller, who signed a 2-year, $22M deal with the Phillies this past offseason, was activated off of the IL on July 8th after going down with “right forearm tendinitis” in the […] The post Brad Keller Suffers Torn UCL in Right Elbow appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Canada and Minnesota Need to Knock it Off With These Wildfires
The sky’s all hazy, the sun’s a weird color, my eyes sting, my throat’s kind of scratchy, and the news says I can’t go outside. This, sadly, is not anything new. We all know what it means – Canada is doing its wildfire bullshit again: As fires ripple across the great north and send hazardous […] The post Canada and Minnesota Need to Knock it Off With These Wildfires appeared first on Crossing Broad .
“Oregon Trail-Level Dysentery” – Redditor Fears the Diarrhea Outbreak Has Made it to Philadelphia
Uh oh! This is concerning: Cyclosporiasis by u/Vivid_Ice_2683 in philly “I did not expect to be getting Oregon Trail-level dysentery this summer.” If you’re unaware, there is currently a diarrhea outbreak taking over parts of the country. It’s known as Cyclosporiasis, but more commonly referred to as “Sixers Second Round Disease.” That’s because the local […] The post “Oregon Trail-Level Dysentery” – Redditor Fears the Diarrhea Outbreak Has Made it to Philadelphia appeared first on Crossing ...
How Does the Jaylen Brown Trade Impact Joel Embiid’s Sixers Future?
Joel Embiid is as synonymous with the Sixers as any active NBA player with their respective franchise. He was officially drafted in 2014, embraced the era of basketball by crowning himself “The Process,” and has ascended into an MVP, seven-time All-Star, and put himself in the conversation for most talented player to ever don a […] The post How Does the Jaylen Brown Trade Impact Joel Embiid’s Sixers Future? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Flyers Lock Up Trevor Zegras with a Totally Reasonable Deal
The Trevor Zegras deal is done: After plenty of speculation over whether the price would be too high, the Flyers got the deal done by making Zegras the team’s highest-paid player. For the time being. This extension comes one week after Philly failed to pry Leo Carlsson away from the Ducks, who matched the Flyers’ […] The post Flyers Lock Up Trevor Zegras with a Totally Reasonable Deal appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I Feel Bad for the England Players Because Their Manager Totally Blew it
England lost to Argentina 2-1 in Wednesday’s World Cup semifinal. A heartbreaker. They were up 1-0 in the second half and playing well, then decided to deploy the soccer version of prevent defense and fell apart after the 85th minute: This loss was on the manager, Thomas Tuchel, who subbed off goal scorer Anthony Gordon […] The post I Feel Bad for the England Players Because Their Manager Totally Blew it appeared first on Crossing Broad .

If You Poo-Pooed the First Half of the 2026 Phillies Season, Here’s What You’ve Missed
I wrote in January I wouldn’t be poo-pooing the Phillies’ 2026 regular season. I’m a baseball fan, but even a casual baseball fan can sometimes appreciate the 162-game stretch that offers us a lot of highlights along the way towards October. While the season didn’t start off promising, as we sit here now, we’re lucky […] The post If You Poo-Pooed the First Half of the 2026 Phillies Season, Here’s What You’ve Missed appeared first on Crossing Broad .
