		<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[Here&#8217;s one way to grab a headline: write an article speculating that Albert Pujols will become Washington&#8217;s first baseman in 2012. That&#8217;s what Tyler Kepner did yesterday in the pages of the New York Times, fueling a kind of baseball mini-industry that is one misplaced quote away from becoming a national obsession. &#8220;By signing Jayson [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fallout from the Jayson Werth signing began even as Mike Rizzo walked from the microphone in Orlando, Florida. ESPN&#8217;s Keith Law wrote that the Nationals&#8217; Jayson Werth contract &#8220;looks like a panic deal&#8221; &#8212; and then called Mike Rizzo&#8217;s decision to sign him &#8220;irresponsible.&#8221; Buster Olney also slammed the Nats, pointing out that the [...]]]></description>

Halladay stared in at umpire Jeff Nelson and Burrell noticed: &#8220;What are you looking at?&#8221; he yelled. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nats pitcher Jordan Zimmermann must be some kind of throwback: he’s from a part of the country – central Wisconsin – that doesn’t usually produce major league pitchers (or major league anythings) and he’s vowed that, once the season is over, he’ll head back home: “where there’s not that much to do.” That’s for sure.
