		<description><![CDATA[If the CBA is weak, I wonder if it&#039;s because both sides are even more worried about arguing too much about some things and not getting anything finalized.  

Not that the CBA shouldn&#039;t be the most thorough piece of writing in MLB, and I don&#039;t want any of it to be iffy or half-cocked, but if it is, that&#039;s likely why.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read every Calcaterra article on here because he specifically wrote it (and I mean no disrespect to Gleeman, who is fantastic as well).  Thousands of baseball bloggers out there, and I&#039;ve stuck with Craig since his early Shysterball days.  And I am extremely picky on my writers.  

So yeah, I think Craig&#039;s articles are a little bit more than useless and a waste.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;this CBA is literally half-baked&quot;
Come on Craig, not you! I thought being a lawyer was all about the exactness of words used. Where did the shyster go? Unless you can show me evidence that the CBA was actually put in an oven an taken out before it was done I will... ummm... I guess I&#039;ll just keep reading no matter what.  This works better with my kids when I can usually come up with some sort of threat before I get to the end of my sentence.]]></description>
