White Sox don't let winning catch on
Tribune staff reporterThe evaluation period brought mixed results Tuesday night for the White Sox. Jim Thome moved closer to the 500-home run mark. Josh Fields made his first putout in left field.

Bats open escape hatch

From the Cubicle
The Sox picked themselves out the AL Central cellar last night with a victory over these Kansas City Royals.

Sox's Konerko conked in head, then belts pair of homers
Tribune staff reporterPaul Konerko would be the first to admit he has a pretty hard head. But not even Konerko could have imagined a curveball bounced off his noggin could change the complexion of a ballgame, if not a season.After Cubs starter Kerry Wood hit him in the...Tags: Sammy Sosa, Alex Gonzalez, Ray Durham, National League, Chicago Cubs

Bad pitch spoils Bere's day

Too close for comfort
Tribune baseball reporterMaybe the worst-case scenario has run its course with the Cubs. Todd Hundley almost was thrown out at the plate advancing from second base on Alex Gonzalez's double off the right-field scoreboard.

Grand time for Brewers
Tribune staff reporterManager Don Baylor said he is "embarrassed" and he has "had it up to here" with the Cubs' shoddy performances after Sunday's 13-4 loss.

From the cubicle: Cubs win
Tribune staff reporterLike you, we're stuck at work, forced to follow the game as discreetly as possible. We're hiding in our cubicle with the office chair cranked as low as it can go. It's important to keep up the illusion of actual work going on. That's why it wouldn't be...Tags: Heineken International, George Harrison, Mark Johnson, WGN, Moises Alou

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.

Clement picture of cool
Tribune staff reporterSunday was one of those hot, sticky days Chicagoans were thinking about early last winter while shoveling out their parking spaces and saving them with old, beat-up lawn furniture. Summertime means baseball in Chicago, and no matter what the status of...Tags: U.S. Cellular Field, Chicago White Sox, Sports, Sammy Sosa, Mark Bellhorn

Prior closes the deal
Tribune staff reporterMark Prior was in no way comparing himself to Curt Schilling or Randy Johnson. But after the Cubs' 21-year-old rookie finished the first complete game of his professional career on Sunday, a 4-1 victory over Colorado, he had this to say about his 13-...Tags: Colleges and Universities, Sports, Moises Alou, Todd Helton, Alex Gonzalez
