		<title>Sabotage!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You knew it was coming. Didn&#8217;t you??? Goddammit. 
Somebody needs to stay in his hotel room and watch Conan O&#8217;Brien when he&#8217;s up in Philadelphia. Cause some of those ladies at the bar are Phillies fans, my man. This plan of action may also be useful in New York. Your groin &#8212; and your fans! [...]]]></description>

		<title>Andruw: Still Breaking My Heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have this thing about inanimate objects, probably from watching The Brave Little Toaster too many times as a kid. I believe they should be treated with a certain degree of respect. I don&#8217;t like it when people smash guitars, and I hate that scene in Office Space when they beat up the copier. So [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your Frenchy Moment of Zen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are few things that make me as happy as Frenchy running:

Especially when he&#8217;s tracking down a ball in right, oh man. Lauren, that idea for a blog called OMG FRENCHY!!! with just one of these pictures posted per day was actually really brilliant, but, in a way, maybe this blog is already that blog. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wyatt Earp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That story last night about LaRoche wanting to meet Wyatt Earp is the reason I will always listen to the radio, even it&#8217;s lagging a full inning behind the television broadcast. Well played, Mr. Van Wieren. 
In shocking news: I agree with Dave O&#8217;Brien! I love Frenchy and look forward to seeing him play, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweeps Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had to watch Matty save the day on Gametracker at work, and I could see Turner Field from my office building. I spent a few minutes staring at it longingly in the eighth. At least I have these marvelous AP pictures:


All this physical affection seems to be doing them good. 
Meanwhile, we&#8217;re down two [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kissgate &#8216;08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Man, did Sports South make a big deal about Frenchy kissing Kotsay on Sunday! How many times did they replay it? I counted at least three. I was waiting for a slow motion replay with commentary about his technique. 
Personally, I found nothing especially hilarious about it. It&#8217;s pretty much in line with what we [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s Wrong With This Picture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From an AJC article about Gonzo&#8217;s impending return: 
Gonzalez ate dinner at Smokey Bones barbecue every night in early April so he could catch Braves games on satellite. 
Every NIGHT? Isn&#8217;t he like . . . a millionaire? I suspect even the guys making the league minimum could afford satellite TV, yes? Maybe he&#8217;s in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Loss to the Nationals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh man. Talk of Smoltz returning to the bullpen. I laughed when it was Barry Zito; perhaps this is karma coming back to haunt me. 
I don&#8217;t know what to say about this season so far. I thought we would at least have one of those excitingly awful years. You know what I mean? Where [...]]]></description>

		<title>Something Cheerful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t posted in a week because I don&#8217;t know what to say. I was fairly certain that things would eventually go badly this year, but things went so immediately and overwhelmingly badly that jokes ain&#8217;t coming easy. But I found this lovely anecdote about Devy, who has been called up to the A&#8217;s, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s A Getaway Day Miracle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first good news this team has had in awhile.
Get them the hell out of Colorado! On second thought, I won&#8217;t feel good about this until the plane has landed safely in Washington D.C.
