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...

MLB power rankings
1. Tigers: Forget the concern at closer. They were loaded last year, and they're a lot better with Victor Martinez, Torii Hunter and a full year of Anibal Sanchez. 2. Dodgers: Hanley Ramirez's injury could slow them out of the gate, but they're deep and...

Sure, blame the Greek White Sox fan for Wrigley goat head prank
Whenever ethnic profiling raises its ugly head, you can usually count on a great newspaper to express its outrage. Unless the head once belonged to a goat, and said head was sent to Wrigley Field in care of Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts. Then the...

Quick, someone wake Theo and tell him to dump Marmol
Dale Sveum must be trying to get fired. Or maybe the Cubs manager hates Cubs fans. Or perhaps he’s an agent of evil sent by North Korea’s Kim Jong-un to destroy the Cubs because their legendary ineptitude and continued consignment to a...Tags: Ian Stewart, Sports, Ryan Dempster, Dale Sveum, Kim Jong Un

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...

An odd sound coming out of the Marmol mess
Cubs manager Dale Sveum finally made the move he never should’ve had to make: yanking Carlos Marmol as closer. Sveum never should’ve had to make the move because team president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer should’ve...

Your Morning Phil: Sanchez, Porcello, Dickey
Talking baseball while hoping Alshon Jeffery learns to use his size: 1. Yes, the Cubs came close to landing a big fish last week. But now that Anibal Sanchez has re-enlisted with the Tigers, thanks to Mike Ilitch finding a spare $32 million during the...Tags: Joel Hanrahan, Philadelphia Phillies, Minnesota Twins, Edwin Jackson, Daisuke Matsuzaka

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...

Your Morning Phil: Cubs, Appel, WBC
Talking baseball while the Blackhawks keep rolling: 1. Rumors will continue but here’s the reality about both Carlos Marmol and Alfonso Soriano: As with Matt Garza, the best time to trade them will be in the middle of the season, not now. Marmol...

Sorry, Cubs fans, but this is worse than you thought
Sorry, Cubs fans. My condolences. Your team is worse than I thought -- whoops, wait a minute, I think another Cub just struck out -- and so is your future. It’s not here yet and won’t be for a long time. Heck, it looks like it’ll be...

What is Tom Ricketts' number?
As Carlos Marmol rolled through this week with an earned-run average under 1.70 in his previous 12 outings, manager Dale Sveum said he expects Marmol to be the Cubs closer next year. Nope. Sorry. Not buying it. Granted, 1.70 is a nice number number, but...

Dear Cubs fans, don't be suckers
The Cubs have won 12 of their last 16 games. Their starters have an ERA of 1.13 in their last five. The staff itself averaged an earned run a game in the weekend sweep of Arizona. They are playing the kind of baseball we haven’t seen all season...
