The Mets are So Dreadful that Keith Hernandez Has Resorted to Talking About the End of His Bloodline on Live Television
This is… this is something else: To do a little bit a scene setting, this was a 9-9 ballgame in the top of the sixth. The Mets were at home, playing in front of a reported 32,734 people, which feels high. No way there were 30,000 people in the building. But the Mutts were up […] The post The Mets are So Dreadful that Keith Hernandez Has Resorted to Talking About the End of His Bloodline on Live Television appeared first on Crossing Broad .

42 Million People Watched the USMNT Get its Ass Kicked by Belgium
A few days removed from Belgium whooping the USMNT 4-1 and ending its World Cup dreams, there are still plenty of questions left to be answered: How the hell did that happen? Did USA choke the game away, or were they merely outclassed by a better team, or was it both? Will the United States […] The post 42 Million People Watched the USMNT Get its Ass Kicked by Belgium appeared first on Crossing Broad .
All Hail the Return of The Schmitter
Great news here: The Schmitter is hybrid cheesesteak of sorts. It’s got steak, onions, and cheese, but also includes salami and tomatoes and is served on a round Kaiser roll. It’s the creation of McNally’s Tavern in Chestnut Hill. For background, the sandwich was served at Citizens Bank Park between 2004 and 2016. Most of […] The post All Hail the Return of The Schmitter appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Jaylen Brown’s First Philadelphia Season Will Be the Turning Point in the NBA Analytics Movement
The Philadelphia 76ers made the biggest splash of the NBA offseason to this point, swapping out Paul George and some draft picks to bring in Celtics star Jaylen Brown. It’s a move that has been widely regarded as a steal for the Sixers, with the vast majority puzzled by Boston being willing to deal Brown […] The post Jaylen Brown’s First Philadelphia Season Will Be the Turning Point in the NBA Analytics Movement appeared first on Crossing Broad .
We Didn’t Lose to Belgium Because “Our Best Athletes Don’t Play Soccer”
One of the things you hear all the time is that America’s best athletes don’t play soccer. BUT WHAT IF THEY DID?! What if we had LeBron James and Aaron Judge out there against Belgium? Would we have won 4-0? It’s an interesting topic, if tiring. You have to start by defining “athlete.” It seems […] The post We Didn’t Lose to Belgium Because “Our Best Athletes Don’t Play Soccer” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Criminal Charges Against Mike Missanelli Withdrawn
According to public court records, the simple assault and harassment charges filed three months ago against Mike Missanelli have been withdrawn.

In the FOX 29 writeup, it’s said that “police talked […] The post Criminal Charges Against Mike Missanelli Withdrawn appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Devan Kaney Reveals New Job in Chicago
New gig: Kaney was let go by 94 WIP back in March, then announced in June that she’d be leaving her freelance sports job with FOX 29 for a new opportunity. That’ll be the FOX station in Chicago, so she’s moving up to television market #3 from television market #5. It’s a good gig, for […] The post Devan Kaney Reveals New Job in Chicago appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It’s Time to Talk About Moving Trea Turner to the Outfield
Trea Turner’s suspect defense has been no secret in Philly, and it was on full display once again in Monday’s brutal 15-1 loss to Kansas City: That’s a truly awful error. It’s a routine double play. Turn it and the Phillies are out of the inning with a one-run lead. Instead, it turns into six […] The post It’s Time to Talk About Moving Trea Turner to the Outfield appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Praise Be: “Philadelphia Stadium” Once Again Bears the Name of Our Corporate Financial Overlords
It’s the end of an era in South Philadelphia: View this post on Instagram A post shared by FOX 29 (@fox29philly) So what did you think about the “Philadelphia Stadium” epoch?

Theory: A Deranged Hipster Transplant Posted This Phillies Message on a Minneapolis Utility Poll
Meantime, on Phillies Reddit: Found in Minneapolis by u/huphelmeyer in phillies Uhhhhhh…. yes. This appears to be an elaborate and humorous troll job. It’s so oddly specific and detailed that it straddles the “hilarious” and “total nutjob” line, which is a thin line. Or maybe it’s AI and we’re all being duped. In which case […] The post Theory: A Deranged Hipster Transplant Posted This Phillies Message on a Minneapolis Utility Poll appeared first on Crossing Broad .
All-Time Panderer Bryce Harper is Now Pandering to SEPTA

Random Philadelphia Phillie of the Day: Shawn Wooten
We asked the Sportradar AI to present us with a random Philadelphia Phillie for July 7th, 2026, and the name drawn from the figurative electronic hat was Shawn Wooten. I have never heard of this player before, so I got to Googling and learned that: Before Philly, Wooten was an Angel, and won the 2002 […] The post Random Philadelphia Phillie of the Day: Shawn Wooten appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Claude Giroux is Not Returning to Philadelphia, Reportedly
David Pagnotta reported last week that Claude Giroux was returning to Philadelphia as a free agent, which apparently is not true: G is 38 years old now.

USA Was So Bad Against Belgium that “James Franklin” Started Trending on Twitter
That was a rough one. After a few weeks of incredibly good vibes and convincing wins over Paraguay, Australia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, the USMNT’s World Cup dreams came to an abrupt end on Monday night in a demoralizing loss to Belgium. It was a brutal 94-minute gut punch for American viewers, and watching the game, I […] The post USA Was So Bad Against Belgium that “James Franklin” Started Trending on Twitter appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Nature of the Belgium Loss Makes the USA World Cup Campaign a Failure
Sometimes you lose a close game. Maybe it comes down to the final buzzer, or a defensive stand in the red zone, and you fall just short while playing well otherwise. The other team was better on the night, so you shake hands, take the L and move on. Other times, you get blown off […] The post The Nature of the Belgium Loss Makes the USA World Cup Campaign a Failure appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Zack Wheeler’s All-Star Snub is a Damn Crime
There are always gonna be snubs when All-Star selection announcements roll around, but truth be told, I can’t remember being as pissed about one as I am about Zack Wheeler getting hosed this year.

Funny to See Rob Manfred Pick Bryce Harper for the All-Star Game After Harper Suggested the Commissioner Should Get the Fuck Out of the Phillies Clubhouse
Saw this and had a laugh: It was a little less than a year ago that Harper and Manfred got into that confrontation, with Bryce reportedly telling the commish to “get the fuck out of our clubhouse.” Jeff Passan painted the picture at ESPN: Quiet for the majority of the meeting, Harper, sitting in a […] The post Funny to See Rob Manfred Pick Bryce Harper for the All-Star Game After Harper Suggested the Commissioner Should Get the Fuck Out of the Phillies Clubhouse appeared first on Crossing Br...
