Cubs fall in bottom of 9th
Tribune staff reporterThe Cubs-Dodgers rivalry is one of the most evenly matched in baseball history, dating back to their first meeting in Brooklyn in 1890.

Bye-bye, birdies

'Spacey' performance falls flat
Tribune staff reporterDusty Baker charged his team with looking "kind of spacey" Saturday during a 4-1 loss to St. Louis. Considering the Cubs had lost their best hitter for two to three months and were playing their archrivals, there was no good excuse for that kind of mind-...Tags: Aramis Ramirez, National League, David Eckstein, Albert Pujols, Death

Retaking the reins
Tribune staff reporterThe water cooler in the Cubs dugout escaped without a single dent as Greg Maddux cruised to his 324th career victory Tuesday night with an 8-3 victory over Cincinnati.

2-hit ball betters Marshall's odds

Prior, Lee back, but not wins
Tribune staff reporterEveryone said the Cubs would be a different team when Mark Prior and Derrek Lee returned from their injuries. Well, they were back together Thursday at Wrigley Field, but the outcome was more of the same: a 5-4 loss to the Brewers.

40-year-old surgeon
Tribune staff reporterMaybe Greg Maddux is better than ever, if that's humanly possible.

Spotlight's off, Cubs turn it on
Tribune staff reporterWith the pressure off and the focus of the city squarely on the White Sox, the Cubs suddenly are looking like world-beaters.

Cubs' turnaround has Lee pondering
Tribune staff reporterWith Neifi Perez traded to Detroit on Sunday before the Cubs' 5-3 loss to St. Louis, all three players who competed for the Cubs' second-base job in spring training are gone.

What a waste!

Cubs' Hill enjoys another strong start
Tribune staff reporterThe Cubs' clubhouse is a much different place than it was only a few months ago, with the kids overtaking the veterans and becoming the new silent majority. The unofficial leader of the brat pack is rookie left-hander Rich Hill, who has quietly become...Tags: Ryan Dempster, Bob Howry, Carlos Zambrano, Atlanta Braves, Derrek Lee

Jaw inspiring
Tribune staff reporterChants of "sweep" swept through U.S. Cellular Field in the bottom of the seventh inning Sunday as psyched-up White Sox fans sensed a three-game pillaging of the rival Cubs. But the Cubs seized the moment as their once-dormant offense rallied for four...Tags: Jose Contreras, Michael Barrett, Aramis Ramirez, Wrigley Field, Juan Uribe
