Eric Karros knocks on the Hall of Fame's door, ever so quietly
Dodger ThoughtsEric Karros is on this year's Hall of Fame ballot, a de facto longshot. (Still, it's one more Hall of Fame ballot than I'll ever get on.) If you read Jay Jaffe's writeup at Baseball Prospectus, the best thing Karros...... -
Bad pitch spoils Bere's day
Tribune staff reporterBefore Friday's game, a defiant Don Baylor declined to second-guess his decision to remove Jason Bere from Sunday's game against Houston, in which he had pitched six shutout innings. The Cubs eventually lost when their bullpen coughed up seven runs. "I'...Tags: Houston Astros, Billy Wagner, Jason Bere, Chicago Cubs, Octavio Dotel

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. His players, for the most part, said it's early yet. Does that mean the level of play could get worse? One of the...Tags: Tyler Houston, Glendon Rusch, Wrigley Field, Sammy Sosa, Milwaukee Brewers

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: Michael Jordan, Damaso Marte, Britney Spears, Paul Konerko, Tom Skilling

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. But after Lieber (6-4) breezed through the Cardinals' lineup Friday in a 2-1 victory that lasted just one hour 49 minutes, Baylor...Tags: Woody Williams, J.D. Drew, Joe Girardi, National League, Baseball

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: Rocky Biddle, Sammy Sosa, U.S. Cellular Field, Paul Konerko, American League

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: Todd Zeile, Curt Schilling, Arizona Diamondbacks, Jay Payton, Baseball

Lieber is sore but at himself
Tribune staff reporterThe condition of his right elbow, Jon Lieber insists, is not the problem. He swears it's not the reason he is winless in his last seven starts. "It's being able to make pitches," he said. Lieber did that until the seventh inning Monday night. Then...Tags: Tyler Houston, Sammy Sosa, Milwaukee Brewers, Jon Lieber, Lenny Harris

Clement put to test
Mark Grace went hitless in four at-bats Sunday for Arizona, yet he was partly responsible for shortening Cubs starter Matt Clement's workday. Clement was removed with one out in the sixth inning because his pitch count was 121. In Clement's 28-pitch...Tags: Mark Grace, Matt Clement, Jay Bell, Erubiel Durazo, Chicago Cubs

Reds offense batters, bruises Bere
Tribune staff reporterThe ball came screaming off the bat of Cincinnati's Sean Casey and Cubs pitcher Jason Bere had nowhere to hide. The veteran right-hander dropped to the ground as if he had been hit with a right cross. "I can think of better places to get hit, but at...Tags: Ken Griffey Jr., Health, Danny Graves, Todd Walker, Wrigley Field

Teddy Greenstein's answers
I keep reading and hearing that the Cubs' farm system is one of the best in the majors. Yet none of the farm teams is leading its league. Several are below .500 and few of their players are putting up big numbers. Also, few have made a significant...Tags: Farms, Tom Kennedy, Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, Jason Giambi

Cubs fall for 3rd game in row
Tribune staff reporterThe victims and culprits change from day to day. But the results rarely do. The Cubs are among the safest bets in the world to disappoint their loyal fans. The only mystery is in the details. The Cubs' 5-4 loss to the Reds on Thursday was...Tags: Danny Graves, Sammy Sosa, Baseball, U.S. Cellular Field, Alex Gonzalez
