I almost hate myself for that headline. Almost.
The Phillies may have lost yesterday to the Reds, but what everybody was talking about was Saturday night’s game-ending double play that Tyler Goeddel and Cameron Rupp executed. Let’s re-live that, shall we?

Catch up with the Birds thanks to our Eagles reporter, Adrian Fedkiw.
Adrian grades Doug Pederson’s playcalling in the Chiefs’ Week 10 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
Carson Wentz’s entire press conference from Friday.
The Phillies are currently in second place in the NL East with a 22-16 record. Their run differential is -30, so they’re absolutely winning due to their pitching right now. Sooner or later, that run differential will creep up, so it’s imperative for the lineup to improve as soon as possible because their pitching probably won’t hold up all season long. Once injuries happen, it could be all downhill. But, hey, it’s May and the Phillies are winning. Baseball is fun again. For now.
The Sixers are selling StubHub ads on their jerseys, beginning in the 2017-2018 season.
Huge big league brawl between the Blue Jays and Rangers yesterday.
The NBA Draft Lottery takes place tomorrow night, and the Sixers could wind up with the first and fourth overall picks if the ping pong balls go their way. The Lakers keep their lottery pick if it’s in the top three.
If the Sixers get more than one lottery pick, they will listen to offers.
Following today’s controlled explosion, we have since found out that the item was a training device which had accidentally been left by a private company following a training exercise involving explosive search dogs.
Whilst this item did not turn out to be a viable explosive, on appearance this device was as real as could be, and the decision to evacuate the stadium was the right thing to do, until we could be sure that people were not at risk.
How does Seth Joyner feel about Sam Bradford? Let’s find out!

Yes, much like you, I’m tired of the Sam Bradford saga. I’ve been writing about it because this is an EAGLES TOWN [by the way, I hate when people force that shit in our face…] Hopefully the drama surrounding Bradford has died down and we can focus on Wentz, the defense, and Fletcher Cox signing a deal. LET’S GET IT DONE, HOWIE!
We’ve got wrecks!
Budweiser is renaming their beer to “America” this summer through November’s elections.
The cans of patriotic nectar will be available May 23 through the November election and aim “to inspire drinkers to celebrate America and Budweiser’s shared values of freedom and authenticity.”
The company is no stranger to American-themed summer cans, which have been transformed into American flags and featured the Statue of Liberty in the past. This year, the cans and bottles will try to stir American pride with lines from the Pledge of Allegiance and lyrics from The Star Spangled Banner.
Apparently, the Belgium-based megabrewer, which owns more than 200 brands globally, including Corona and Stella Artois, knows the way straight to our checkbooks. Throw some America on it!
Claude Giroux’s and Shayne Gostisbehere’s excuses for their poor play towards the end of the season have now been made public, as the two will undergo surgeries to repair their right hips and abdominal tears. Ouch. Pretty impressive how the team fought without them both at even 80%, much less without Sean Couturier in the lineup.
John Oliver talks about how emergency call centers are in need of funding and new technology.
Mark Cuban was pursued as a third-party candidate to run against Donald Trump.
Greg Popovich is a huge douchebag.

I don’t know why people are all mad at Sam Bradford. Heck, I sometimes hold out right in the middle of the game and nobody seems to notice. Sometimes I leave games in the 3rd quarter to move my car because I parked in a 2-hour zone. Nobody ever says a word.
