AL wins marathon midsummer classic
Sun reporterOn a perfect summer evening for baseball, in the sport's most venerable cathedral, with nearly 50 of its all-time greats looking on, the 79th All-Star Game simply didn't want the good times to end.

Mark Gonzales' White Sox mailbag
Here's my problem with Konerko -- he doesn't try anything different. Same stance, same swing, same result. His bat looks a lot slower. Yet his stance still has the bat angled at 2 o'clock. Why not start with the bat at 12 o'clock to see if that speeds...Tags: Bobby Jenks, Lance Broadway, Paul Konerko, Ben Sheets, Mike MacDougal

From the Cubicle
News flash: This is some jacked up weather. Does Lake Michigan suddenly want to be an ocean and produce hurricanes? Because it sure seemed like that yesterday.

Vina slams Cubs
Tribune staff reporterThough St. Louis leadoff man Fernando Vina looks like the odd man out in a lineup full of .300 hitters, appearances can be deceiving.

Wild ride exits tracks
Tribune staff reporterAfter the Cubs officially bowed out of the wild-card playoff chase Saturday with an 8-6 loss to Atlanta at Wrigley Field, the traditional blue "L" flag was hoisted on the center-field scoreboard.

Wood-a, coulda, shoulda
Special to the TribuneIt isn't an easy thing to do, hammering the nails to shut your own coffin while you're inside it. But the Cubs are very close to succeeding, having gone from contenders to contortionists who are capable of closing the lid and putting in the final nail...Tags: Todd Walker, Mike Hampton, Houston Astros, Kerry Wood, Chipper Jones

Lee rocks, Cubs roll
Tribune staff reporterDerrek Lee isn't thinking about it, and no one is saying he can keep it up the entire season. But after the first two months of 2005, Lee was the National League leader in batting average, home runs and RBIs, putting him on an early pace to become the...Tags: Derek Lowe, Billy Williams, Olmedo Saenz, Triple Crown, Sammy Sosa

Cubs rally around Alou
Tribune staff reporterDusty Baker walked around Wrigley Field at 9:45 a.m. Wednesday, taking small handfuls of a dirt-like substance from a bag and spreading it throughout the infield and outfield, sort of like Dusty Appleseed. Baker wouldn't reveal the bag's contents or...Tags: Kenny Lofton, Jeff Fassero, Shawn Estes, Antonio Alfonseca, Tony Womack

Quick work for Lieber
Tribune staff reporterMany pitchers throw faster than Jon Lieber. But none throw as quickly. Cubs manager Don Baylor should know that by now. But after Lieber (6-4) breezed through the Cardinals' lineup Friday in a 2-1 victory that lasted just one hour 49 minutes, Baylor...Tags: National League, Jon Lieber, Woody Williams, Sports, Fred McGriff

Ten for the money; 10 for the woe
Of The Morning CallHere are 10 reasons the Phillies will make the playoffs: 1. It's 2003. They won their last pennants in 1983 and 1993. That's trend enough for me. 2. Jim Thome will obliterate Mike Schmidt's single-season home run record of 48, resulting in a new fashion...Tags: Omar Vizquel, Crimes, Death, Mike Schmidt, Dick Allen
