		<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>

When Mike Rizzo signed Chien-Ming Wang back in February of 2010, there was absolutely no reason to believe that he would someday once again pitch in the majors. Wang was then rehabbing from right shoulder surgery, but it was worse than that: his shoulder [...]]]></description>

That was the story in the &#8220;lost decade&#8221; after Cincinnati&#8217;s last world championship, and Reds fans fear it [...]]]></description>
