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. He had gone back to tag up, then had to hustle to keep...Tags: Brian Giles, Mark Bellhorn, Fred McGriff, Jimmy Anderson, Sammy Sosa

Cubs lacking Sosa, offense
Tribune staff reporterSammy Sosa no longer can make his head swivel like a bobblehead doll—at least not since he experienced sharp pain in the back of his neck that forced him to leave in the eighth inning of last Saturday's game at Arizona and to miss Sunday's game. Sosa,...Tags: Basketball, Spring Training, Mark Bellhorn, Carlos Zambrano, Sammy Sosa

Braves no longer a sure thing in East
Tribune baseball reporterImagine the shock for an Atlanta Braves fan who spent the winter abroad without giving his favorite team a second thought. Hey, that isn't Tom Glavine in a New York Mets uniform, is it? And what's the deal with Kevin Millwood wearing that Phillies cap?...Tags: Mike Venafro, Paul Wilson, Eric Owens, Jay Witasick, Omar Daal

Season floating away
Tribune staff reporterThe Cubs have disintegrated into a $75 million homecoming opponent. The Brewers are only so happy to host them for two more games this weekend. Milwaukee is 4-0 against the Cubs and 9-29 against the rest of baseball. And the Cubs are now almost as bad...Tags: Wrigley Field, Glendon Rusch, AAA, Fred McGriff, Joe Girardi

Zambrano electric, bats hot
Tribune staff reporterFor entertainment value alone, there may be no pitcher in baseball more fun to watch than Carlos Zambrano. Whether he's pacing the mound, talking into his glove or throwing down his bat after a strikeout, Zambrano typically is more wired than Silicon...Tags: Wrigley Field, LaTroy Hawkins, Spring Training, Michael Barrett, Carlos Zambrano

Wood stays in Red zone
Tribune staff reporterYou never will hear Kerry Wood complain about the unbalanced schedule. If Wood had his way, the Cubs would face the Reds 117 times, not the 17 times this season's schedule dictates. The 24-year-old right-hander improved to 6-0 lifetime against...Tags: Mark Bellhorn, Ken Griffey Jr., Sean Casey, Kerry Wood, Sammy Sosa

Sosa back in the groove
Tribune staff reporterSammy Sosa chafed at suggestions over the weekend that he needed a day off to break out of his 6-for-35 slump since the All-Star break. "I don't need people to worry about me," he said. "I've been at the top of my game for many, many years and I know how...Tags: Kyle Farnsworth, Mark Bellhorn, Philadelphia Phillies, Fred McGriff, Philadelphia (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

Sweet comeback
Tribune staff reporterThe record book doesn't have to be rewritten. It still says the last time the St. Louis Cardinals concluded a four-game sweep in Chicago was May 29, 1921. Cubs shortstop Alex Gonzalez made sure of that Sunday when his eighth-inning bloop single brought...Tags: Angel Echevarria, Wrigley Field, Chuck Finley, St. Louis Cardinals, Fred McGriff

It's a lock: Randy rules
Tribune staff reporterPitting Randy Johnson against the Cubs is like hosting a demolition derby with a Mack truck and a tricycle. And that's when the Cubs have Sammy Sosa in the lineup. On a day Sosa flew back to Chicago because of a neck injury, the word mismatch doesn't...Tags: Angel Echevarria, Muscle, Mark Bellhorn, Arizona, Alex Gonzalez

Sosa hits his 496th homer, Cubs win
Tribune staff reporterSammy Sosa found the ideal fuel Sunday to get the Cubs off to New York in good spirits. In his last at-bat in Cinergy Field, which will be replaced by a new park next year, Sosa broke a scoreless game with a 421-foot, three-run homer, his 46th of the...Tags: Mel Ott, New York Mets, Jimmie Foxx, Carlos Zambrano, Sammy Sosa

Clement inspired in 3-hit shutout
Tribune staff reporterCubs manager Bruce Kimm planned to remove Matt Clement when he visited the mound in the ninth inning of Saturday's game. But Kimm quickly realized he would have had to pry the ball from Clement's right hand. "I'm not a psychologist," Kimm said, "and I...Tags: Arizona Diamondbacks, Surgery, National League, Damian Miller, Joe Girardi

Teddy Greenstein's answers
Now that some of the shining stars of the Cubs' farm system (Patterson, Cruz, Hill and Zambrano) have reached the majors to be quickly followed by Choi, Prior and Kelton, what is the state of the Cubs' farm system? Are there many, if any, other...Tags: Tom Gordon, Insider Trading, Robert Machado, Billy Wagner, Mark Bellhorn
