		<description><![CDATA[A regular reader of ours, an L.A. native, keeps pounding away about his beloved Dodgers &#8212; and like all good partisan fans, he predicted they&#8217;d win the N.L. West and then sweep their way through the post-season. &#8220;They&#8217;re the new Giants,&#8221; he said last April, &#8220;except that they&#8217;re better.&#8221; Such expectations have not been realized: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It wasn&#8217;t so long ago (the Nationals were playing out in Los Angeles, to be specific) that we wrote about walk-off grand slam home runs. They&#8217;re really, really unusual &#8212; a walk-off grand slam that results in a single run victory has happened (by our count) just 25 times in major league history. A two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a reason why the Washington Nationals don&#8217;t like the Arizona&#8217;s Diamondbacks. Since the days of hotdogging Eric Byrnes, the D-Backs have been known as a showboating franchise with a nasty streak &#8212; and they proved it again during the just-concluded four game series with the Nationals. While the Nationals were able to pull out [...]]]></description>

Rookie of the Year last night, notching three hits &#8212; two of them home runs &#8212; as the Nationals scorched Cliff Lee and the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-2.

The pumped-up Fox Television special of a &#8220;classic match-up&#8221; between two great pitchers (including one whose post-season numbers were right up there with Sandy Koufax and Christy Mathewson), turned into a sloppy slugfest (six errors, 18 runs and 25 hits) that ranks [...]]]></description>
