Long night ends right
Tribune staff reporterThe Cubs have a 12 1/2-game gap in the National League Central and 109 games to try and close it. Mission impossible? Not according to manager Dusty Baker. "You want to win 10 in a row, but you don't have to win 10 in a row," Baker said before Friday's...Tags: Sidney Ponson, Todd Walker, Baseball, Chicago Cubs, Ryan Dempster

Smashing finish by Cubs
Tribune staff reporterMost of the Cubs weren't born when Willie Smith hit his game-winning home run on Opening Day of the 1969 season, and neither were many of the fans in the newly renovated bleachers on Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field. But just as Smith's two-run shot...Tags: Dick Butkus, Baseball, Chicago Cubs, Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Dempster

3 errors, 6 HRs add up to Cubs' mess
Tribune staff reporterThere may be 13 games separating the Cubs from NL Central division-leading St. Louis, but the Cubs believe the gap is much closer than meets the eye.

Cubs home opener
I haven't watched much baseball the first week of the season since going under the knife for the first time in my life recently.

Teddy Greenstein's answers
I keep reading and hearing that the Cubs' farm system is one of the best in the majors. Yet none of the farm teams is leading its league. Several are below .500 and few of their players are putting up big numbers. Also, few have made a significant...Tags: Mark Bellhorn, Philadelphia Phillies, Multi-Sport Events, Fred McGriff, Tom Kennedy

Zambrano act bombs

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: Philadelphia Phillies, Jim Thome, Jose Mesa, Mike Schmidt, Britney Spears

It would be a tribute to...Tags: Ford Frick, Jim Thome, Philadelphia Phillies, Entertainment, Mike Schmidt

Wood's stellar effort spoiled
Tribune staff reporterAntonio Alfonseca snapped, Mark Guthrie crackled and Kyle Farnsworth flopped as the Cubs suffered an eighth-inning collapse Wednesday night at Busch Stadium. The end result was a collective meltdown that spoiled a superb outing by Kerry Wood in a 4-2...Tags: Moises Alou, Tino Martinez, Antonio Alfonseca, Chicago Cubs, Kerry Wood

Phils' Rolen flashes talent
Tribune staff reporterIf pending free agent Scott Rolen is auditioning for a lucrative contract from the Cubs, he didn't exactly hurt his cause Tuesday.
