		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s probably just a coincidence, but on the day that Tom Boswell pummeled the Lerners and Mike Rizzo for refusing to spend money (or take chances), the team pulled off a major trade with the Oakland A&#8217;s. Maybe Mikey was feeling the heat. Maybe not. Either way, the deal brings uber-talented lefty Gio Gonzalez to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The headline on the Washington Nationals&#8217; website is all about John Lannan, and how he struggles against the Philadelphia Phillies. But the story on Saturday night, when the Nationals were dumped by the Ponies (by an it-wasn&#8217;t-even-close 5-to-zip score) had little to do with Lannan &#8212; and an awful lot to do with Roy Oswalt.

		<description><![CDATA[When the Nationals can&#8217;t pitch, they can&#8217;t hit &#8212; and when they can&#8217;t hit, they can&#8217;t pitch. But when they do both, they still need the ball to bounce the right way, and that hasn&#8217;t been happening lately.

Well, with him hitting .402 with 54 total bases thus far this season, he seems to have his head screwed on straight &#8212; at least for now. But [...]]]></description>
