		<description><![CDATA[Hey, Jeremy Accardo, why don&#8217;t you throw a splitter? You know, instead of grooving 95mph fastballs one-after-another that professional batters can quickly adjust their timing to? Your split-fingered fastball is what made you an effective closer last year. Don&#8217;t forget your past. I know you&#8217;re reading, baby! Blogosphere. However, it really isn&#8217;t comforting to know [...]]]></description>
