		<title>Braves closer Billy Wagner perfect fit in Atlanta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Billy Wagner was one of my favorite players on the Mets during his tenure in New York, and chills would soar down my spine each time he zipped his 100 mile per hour fastball down the middle of the plate in the ninth inning.
Wagner spent parts of four seasons with the Mets between 2006 and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[He&#8217;s 20 years old, but has already been compared to Mariano Rivera.
His name is Jenrry Mejia, one of the top prospects in the Mets&#8217; organization. Mets fans should get to know the name, because he&#8217;s pitching as if he&#8217;ll be around for awhile.

You betcha.

		<title>Titles of Playoff rounds in MLB and NFL do not fit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Besides the Wild Card round in football, no playoff rounds in either football or baseball seem to fit what each team is playing for.

		<description><![CDATA[After weeks of being &#8220;close&#8221; with veteran free-agent catcher Bengie Molina, the Mets can finally move on.

		<description><![CDATA[The Mets have been negotiating with veteran catcher Bengie Molina for quite some time, and they clearly aren&#8217;t THAT interested in him.

		<title>Taking a look at the NFC East</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Giants, Eagles, and Redskins will be watching division rival Dallas from their couch tomorrow, but they all have the advantage of an extended off-season to repair themselves.
