An odd sound coming out of the Marmol mess

99 problems, Cubs-style
For RedEyeThe pieces aren't in place yet for the Cubs, but the plan is and so is the braintrust. Whether Tom Ricketts, Theo Epstein and Dale Sveum will succeed remains a mystery, and the fact is there's more to be done. A lot more. So on the cusp of Wrigley...Tags: Cincinnati Reds, Felix Pie, Starbucks Corp., World Series, Albert Pujols

Like Cubs, Astros building from bottom up
Like his bosses, Mike Foltynewicz is a baseball optimist. He can see the Astros rising out of the ashes they find themselves in at the beginning of the Jim Crane era. "In three or four years, we're going to be a fun team,'' said Foltynewicz, a 21-year-...

Cubs' interests far afield from Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH — No, you couldn't have gone ice fishing Wednesday in Pittsburgh. That season has come and gone. It's time for baseball, even if it didn't seem like it at PNC Park, along the banks of the Allegheny River. After a pitch shattered his...Tags: Pittsburgh Pirates, Wandy Rodriguez, Boston Red Sox, Rahm Emanuel, Brent Lillibridge

Rizzo brings an attitude to every game — the right one
PITTSBURGH — The Cubs have a new tactic, and so far it's working. They have decided to try leading every inning because that's a lot more fun than being behind every inning, as it seemed they were a year ago. One game down, only 161 to go. Yeah,...Tags: Pittsburgh Pirates, Cancer, Boston Red Sox, Chemotherapy, Thomas Ricketts

Samardzija at his best in Cubs opener
PITTSBURGH — Jeff Samardzija was in the news near the end of camp when Theo Epstein told a reporter the right-hander dumped his girlfriend last year to prove he was committed to becoming a starter. If Samardzija continues to dominate the way he did...Tags: Pittsburgh Pirates, Russell Martin, Chicago Cubs, Carlos Marmol, Sports

Cubs clearly losing patience with Marmol
PITTSBURGH — Damn you, Dan Haren. You and your mysterious MRIs. That's what Cubs President Theo Epstein had to be thinking when Carlos Marmol started to fall apart in the ninth inning on Monday, threatening to turn opening day from a delightful...

Forget playing better, Cubs need to trade better
Cubs manager Dale Sveum and team president Theo Epstein believe the Cubs will take a big step forward this season, and I’m thinking, I guess losing only 90 games would be a big step. Another 100 losses, however, is easily attainable, don’t...

Cubs' Barney gets 5 stitches in knee, out for opening day
HOUSTON -- You could have written a worse ending for the Cubs' spring training, but not one that was uglier than Saturday, especially not from Darwin Barney's perspective. While the Cubs were in the process of losing to a team of Astros' prospects 6-3,...

Ho-hum greets opening day in Chicago
Chicago baseball returns Monday with a basis to be genuinely excited about possibilities of the future, but enough about Rosemont. As for citywide interest in the Cubs and Sox, the list of reasons to drop everything and pay attention is here somewhere...

Good luck trying to buy a World Series
There are some things that can be bought. A space flight. The chance to be cryogenically frozen. Or maybe just some of the simpler things, like a 12-cylinder Ferrari Testarossa, beachfront property in Turks and Caicos or one of the socks Curt...
