		<description><![CDATA[The Chicago Sun-Times (the Windy City&#8217;s equivalent of the Boston Herald) tells us that Theo Epstein&#8217;s grandfather co-wrote the screenplay for &#8220;Casablanca,&#8221; the heart-throbbing cinema event that defined America two generations ago. Alright, big deal &#8212; but it&#8217;s good to remember that when grandma toddled off to see it, Franklin Roosevelt was president, American soldiers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cubs dismissed G.M. Jim Hendry on Friday &#8212; who was tearful and blubbery in his departure (&#8220;whaddayou, Jim, some kinda Hollywood finocchio . . .?). But the firing wasn&#8217;t exactly a surprise. The Cubs are going nowhere, and a lot of that has to do with the contract decisions that Hendry inked: $136 million [...]]]></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>

Livan Hernandez was the major story for the Nationals: the aging righty not only threw 6.2 innings of four hit ball, he went 2-3 at the plate and drove [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The word around the Nationals&#8217; clubhouse is that Jayson Werth, struggling through a season-long slump, is finally starting to hit. The Nationals&#8217; everyday right fielder &#8212; and headline off-season free agent acquistion &#8212; is hitting .306 in his last thirteen games. Indeed, Werth showed some pop at the plate on Wednesday night, sending a typical [...]]]></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>
