The All-Star Game Was Pretty, Pretty Boring – Here are Some Ideas to Fix It
We can be honest here. That wasn’t great. Didn’t have a ton of fun watching that. Pretty flat stuff. The American League beat the National League 4-0 on Tuesday night in a game that wasn’t close and didn’t even really have any juice. The NL only notched three singles for the night, which is tied […] The post The All-Star Game Was Pretty, Pretty Boring – Here are Some Ideas to Fix It appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Yeah, the All-Star Game Sucked, but at Least Zack Hample Was Booooooooooooed
I was thinking to myself last night, “you know, we made it through All-Star week without seeing Zack Hample.“ Then, this video hit the feed: This video made me laugh because initially I thought Hample was holding up the ball to somebody’s face and taunting them, like, “look at what I’ve got right here! I’ve […] The post Yeah, the All-Star Game Sucked, but at Least Zack Hample Was Booooooooooooed appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Maybe Don Mattingly Forgot to Fill Out the “I Stand Up For” Cancer Card

Kyle Schwarber With a Bill O’Reilly Moment on Live Television
Monday night, it was Schwarbombs. Tuesday night, it was F bombs: lmao Reminds me of Bill O’Reilly back in the day, when he worked on Inside Edition. But this time, instead of the teleprompter causing problems, it’s the earpiece. “I can’t do it. We’ll do it live, FUCK IT! Do it live!

This was great to see: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Crossing Broad (@crossingbroad) Hopefully this was Mr. Met’s worst experience since the summer of 2025, when he fell off the stage at a Lumineers concert.

Credit Where It’s Due: Michael Irvin Trolled the Phillies Pretty Good
Michael Irvin has had a long, contentious history with the city of Philadelphia.

The Maestro Caught a Home Run Derby Schwarbomb
This is pretty dope: This feels like a full-circle moment. Kyle starts Crossing Broad back in 2009, presumably wearing nothing but underwear while sitting in his parents’ basement, then 17 years later he’s catching Schwarbombs at the Home Run Derby with his kids.

The Home Run Derby Was Great Theater Because of Phillies Fans
Jordan Walker went on a crazy run to steal the Home Run Derby from Kyle Schwarber on Monday night. It was great theater and one hell of competition.

Brandon Marsh’s 15-Month Journey Makes All-Star Start Even More Special
450 days ago, Brandon Marsh was placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain after going 0 for 29. That was April, 2025, and the first two months of that season were a nightmare.

Two French Guys Who Visited Philadelphia for the World Cup Perfectly Summed Up the City
As World Cup host city time comes to a close, and international tourist reviews start rolling in, I figured Philly would get good marks across the board.

If the Phillies are Serious About Revenue from Jersey Sales, They Will Fast Track the Development of Drew Titsworth
Sometimes the jokes write themselves: pic.twitter.com/FzasmvX45G — montcopaWx (@montcopa11) July 12, 2026 The dude is wearing double zeroes for his number. Incredible!

Looks Like the Ben Franklin Bridge Event Was Attended by Every Single Person in Philadelphia and South Jersey
The Ben Franklin Bridge was closed down to vehicle traffic on Saturday for two reasons. One, they didn’t want Dave Matthews Band emptying their tour bus sewage onto any unsuspecting tour boats below. Two, the DRPA was celebrating 100 years of the bridge itself, so they held an event to commemorate that anniversary, inviting people […] The post Looks Like the Ben Franklin Bridge Event Was Attended by Every Single Person in Philadelphia and South Jersey appeared first on Crossing Broad .
