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...

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: Chicago Cubs, Tony Campana, Baseball, Carlos Marmol, Russell Martin

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: Adrian Gonzalez, World Baseball Classic, Health Treatments, Jason McLeod, Joey Votto

Learning the Campana and Soriano lessons
Two of the biggest stories in Cubs camp Monday involved Tony Campana and Alfonso Soriano. The former is leaving, while the latter would do so only grudgingly, and both represent object lessons for Cubs fans and management. Actually, Campana and...

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...

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,...

Dodgers don't have room for breakout star Puig
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Sure, there are qualifiers. There always are. Arizona is a great place to hit. He's on the hottest streak of his life. And if he had been facing him in the regular season, not in late March, the White Sox's Jake Peavy wouldn't...Tags: Matt Lindstrom, Adrian Gonzalez, Ned Colletti , Magic Johnson, Clayton Kershaw

Lovable losers could be winners in Rosemont
A friend of Rosemont Mayor Brad Stephens now living in Las Vegas called last week to see if the buzz about his buddy the White Sox fan offering to help build a new home for the Cubs was true. "He was like, 'What are you doing? You're a Sox guy,' ''...

It's time for Wrigley Field scoreboard to …
Go ahead. Get the tar and feathers. Or I'll stack the wood and bring the matches. Not being a Chicagoan by birth, I know I should just stay away from your sentimentality. If you think ketchup on a hot dog is an act of subversion, so be it. I'm not...
