The Phillies are hoping to keep their home game win streak alive tonight with a sweep of the unlikable Nationals. Kyle Kendrick and Gio Gonzalez will square off. Jayson Werth will get booed, hit a home run, and then say something to the media about the fans. Probably.

When Tug asked for a The Fightins book reviewer, I immediately jumped at the chance. You may not know this, but I graduated top of my class with a degree in english literature.
