		<description><![CDATA[Alfredo Aceves has made a name for himself in Boston. While he&#8217;s not nearly so celebrated as Jonathan Papelbon, the Red Sox long reliever has provided a steady diet of scoreless innings and wins-in-relief. Aceves is now 8-1 on the season, which makes him 22-2 over the four years that he&#8217;s been in the majors. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can understand why some baseball writers never particularly liked Bert Blyleven. &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to kiss the asses of the writers,&#8221; Blyleven said a few years back. &#8220;I put numbers up that are Hall of Fame numbers. Until they recognize that, you can only look at January 6th and say &#8216;it&#8217;s another year.&#8217;&#8221; Well, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s possible to pitch to Albert Pujols &#8212; but you do so at your peril. Scott Olsen knew this of course (every major league pitcher knows it), but that didn&#8217;t keep him from missing an up-and-in pitch to the St. Louis powerhouse, who promptly deposited it in the left field seats. That was home run [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now every baseball fan knows that A-Rod has reached rareified air after hitting home run number 600. No matter what you may think of him (and &#8212; as you might guess from the above photo &#8212; you now know what I think of him), you have to admit: hitting 600 home runs is quite [...]]]></description>

And so, to celebrate Mark McGwire&#8217;s coming out party on Monday, one local sports talk show asked its listeners to decide who had hurt their sport more: Mark &#8220;the needle&#8221; McGwire?

Not so. While nearly 120 years old (they were founded as the Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1866), the Reds [...]]]></description>
