		<title>Showalter comes to Charm City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to ESPN.com&#8217;s Tim Kurkjian the Orioles have hired Buck Showalter to be the team&#8217;s on field manager.  Showalter will reportedly take over the reigns of the Major League&#8217;s worst team on Tuesday when the team begins a lengthy homestand.
