		<description><![CDATA[The Chicago Sun-Times (the Windy City&#8217;s equivalent of the Boston Herald) tells us that Theo Epstein&#8217;s grandfather co-wrote the screenplay for &#8220;Casablanca,&#8221; the heart-throbbing cinema event that defined America two generations ago. Alright, big deal &#8212; but it&#8217;s good to remember that when grandma toddled off to see it, Franklin Roosevelt was president, American soldiers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Commissioner of Baseball is objective, right? He&#8217;s the caretaker for the game, the objective overseer who makes certain it runs right &#8212; and each season his fondest hope is that the best team wins, no matter who it is. But in a most fundamental way, fans of the game know that&#8217;s a crock: baseball [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a lousy realization, but it&#8217;s true: the Washington Nationals have a very good bullpen; but if Wednesday night is any indication, the Braves&#8217; bullpen is better. After giving up a home run to the relentless Michael Morse, the Braves&#8217; bullpen of Eric O&#8217;Flaherty, Jonny Venters and Craig Kimbrel came on to pitch three innings [...]]]></description>

		<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>

But the Nationals could only muster a single run in that inning, as Billingsley ended the threat with three straight [...]]]></description>

Cano was offered to the Texas Rangers in the deal for Alex Rodriguez in 2004, but the Rangers took a pass. The Yankees then tried to trade him for Kansas City&#8217;s Carlos Beltran, (passing through KC on your way [...]]]></description>
