Jun 19, 2013, 11:42 AM EDT
The Union have been so up and down this year that it’s hard to find one single thing to gripe about on a regular basis. The defense is good then the defense is bad. The attack is strong then the attack is anemic. John Hackworth doesn’t know how to make a lineup then John Hackworth…

There is a quarterback controversy on the Eagles after all. Michael Vick and Nick Foles are… wait for it… cheapskates, and their offensive linemen are fed up with it. How can you tell? Just look how impressed Jason Kelce is by rookie Matt Barkley stepping up to spring for ponchos – ponchos! – during the…

Any time the Phils are playing the Nationals, somebody somewhere has to stir up the old debate about whether or not the mob at Citizen Bank Park should boo Jayson Werth – this is going on for three years by the way. They do, and why shouldn’t they? Werth left Philadelphia to play for a…

Now here’s a welcome sight. Carlos Ruiz, who hasn’t played since May 19, will skip the remainder of his rehab appearances and join the Phillies tonight. Is the club starting to get healthy just in the nick of time to save their season? Not so fast. The Fightins may have eked out a win over…
