		<description><![CDATA[The Arizona Diamondbacks have had the worst bullpen in major league baseball this season.  On Monday, they designated veteran right-hander Bob Howry for assignment after posting an ERA of 10.67 through the first 14 games.  On Friday, the Cubs decided to sign Howry to a one year deal and he will be with the team [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Pre-Chicago Cub version of Lou Piniella was that of a hot-headed manager who was frequently thrown out of games, and always let his opinions be known.  However, since joining the Cubs his demeanor has been far different.  Piniella has been calm and reserved both during games and when discussing his team&#8230;until today.  Before today&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the Cubs trailing by one run and a man on third base with only one out in the ninth inning, they appeared poised to tie the game.  Fukudome had just tripled in a run to make it 4-3 and Ryan Theriot and Marlon Byrd, two of the team&#8217;s better hitters, were coming up next.  [...]]]></description>
