		<description><![CDATA[You have to believe that Edwin Jackson is the pitcher that Mike Rizzo always wanted. Back when Adam Dunn was engaging in his version of Anacostia&#8217;s aerial bombardment, Rizzo thought of shipping him out to Chicago for Jackson, a stocky hard-throwing righty in Rizzo&#8217;s former organization &#8212; the Arizona Diamondbacks. That deal never went through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Washington Nationals have signed versatile veteran infielder/outfielder Mark DeRosa to a one year contract, the club announced today. This is a no-brainer: we&#8217;ve always been fans of DeRosa, who is a welcome addition to the Nationals&#8217; bench. He can hit and field, is a great presence in the clubhouse, and is a steady veteran [...]]]></description>

Chris Carpenter held the &#8220;can&#8217;t miss&#8221; Ashburns to just three hits, and the upstart Cardinals went on to take the NLDS three games to two in a sparkling 1-0 win in Philadelphia, ending the Phillies post-season dream of another October World Series appearance. Phillies fans were so disappointed, [...]]]></description>

And yet, immediately after the Nationals clinched a 3-1 last game victory against the Marlins, Johnson told the press that finishing third was not his idea of a great season. He&#8217;s right of course, but for many [...]]]></description>

Bryan Petersen sent the Nationals home a loser last night, stroking a walk off two out home run to make the Marlins winners, 3-2. The loss put the Nationals [...]]]></description>

In light of Wang&#8217;s performance against the Braves, he was asked, would he recommend that the righty be offered a contract for 2012? Johnson didn&#8217;t hesitate: &#8220;No doubt about it,&#8221; he said, [...]]]></description>
