Cubs richly earn wrath of the fans
Tribune staff reporterThe boos finally rained down in the fourth inning after former Cub Benito Santiago lined a double to left field. The jeers were long overdue but not as overdue as some decent baseball from the home team. The Cubs fell to 2-7 at Wrigley Field Tuesday...Tags: Baseball, Jeff Kent, Alex Gonzalez, Wrigley Field, Benito Santiago

McGriff delivers the KO swing
Tribune staff reporterCorey Patterson made a good point about being shifted to the leadoff spot. "There's really no big difference," he said. "You only bat leadoff once, really. And that's in the first inning." True, but if Patterson had been in his customary No. 2 spot,...Tags: Chris Stynes, Marvin Benard, Aaron Fultz, Sammy Sosa, Shawon Dunston

Cruz gains, Bere loses
Tribune staff reporterJuan Cruz pitched so well and Jason Bere so poorly in Tuesday's doubleheader that Cubs manager Don Baylor is considering going back on his decision to send Cruz to the bullpen. Baylor had said Cruz would lose his spot in the rotation once Mark Prior...Tags: Jason Bere, Jerry Manuel, Sammy Sosa, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs

Alou takes blame for latest loss
Tribune baseball reporterIn one of the classiest mea culpas imaginable, Moises Alou fell on his bat after the Cubs went down again. He accepted responsibility in an almost noble way. "Everybody is trying to help me, and I appreciate that, but I have too much in my head," Alou...Tags: Crime, Law and Justice, Joe Girardi, Keith Osik, Crimes, Mike Williams, (wide receiver, born 1984)

Wood sheds woes
Tribune staff reporterCubs manager Don Baylor summed it up very simply. "Pitching," he said of Kerry Wood, "was real easy for him today." Hitting wasn't much of a challenge for Wood, either. He singled twice in four at-bats to provide the frosting for the Cubs' 8-0 victory...Tags: Iowa, Kerry Wood, Joe Girardi, Sammy Sosa, Augie Ojeda

Distraction, defeat
Tribune staff reporterAs if upgrading their team wasn't reason enough, Cubs officials could consider another benefit to promoting Mark Prior and Bobby Hill from the minors. The specter of their arrivals has become an obvious distraction to a team that couldn't hold a three-...Tags: Jason Bere, Baseball, Jose Hernandez, Sammy Sosa, Spring Training

Baylor tees off on Cubs
Tribune staff reporterMany Cubs lingered in front of their lockers after their latest dreadful defeat, an 11-2 stinker to the Cardinals. Players usually clear out of the clubhouse quickly after losses, but most Cubs sat around Tuesday afternoon in a daze. Some were...Tags: Iowa, Kerry Wood, Death, Sammy Sosa, Chicago Cubs

Mark of excellence
Tribune staff reporterIn the bottom of the sixth inning Wednesday night, the standing-room-only crowd at Wrigley Field demanded to be heard. They began booing as soon as they saw pinch-hitter Chris Stynes stroll from the on-deck circle to the batter's box. Were they booing...Tags: Crime, Law and Justice, Jack Wilson, Chris Stynes, Kerry Wood, Pokey Reese

Dodgers dodge Cubs
Tribune staff reporterEric Karros' return to Dodger Stadium on Friday night would have been big local news if the city wasn't so obsessed with the latest developments concerning Arnold Schwarzenegger and Kobe Bryant. Karros received a warm reception in his first game back...Tags: Shawn Estes, Kobe Bryant, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Adrian Beltre, San Francisco

A McGriff milestone
Tribune staff reporterIt figured that Fred McGriff's milestone day would come in a loss. This Cubs team is so inept it could spoil a white Christmas. McGriff became the first player in baseball history to hit 30 homers in a season for five teams: Toronto, San Diego, Atlanta,...Tags: Crime, Law and Justice, Sammy Sosa, Crimes, Moises Alou, Ellis Burks

Killing Sox softly
Tribune staff reporterThe inning that wouldn't die started with Moises Alou's double and ended with a groundout by Fred McGriff. In between the Cubs benefited from two bloop hits, one Paul Konerko error, one Jose Valentin misplay and plenty of feistiness against three White...Tags: Paul Konerko, Rocky Biddle, Chris Stynes, Kerry Wood, Alex Gonzalez

Neagle, Payton beat Cubs
Tribune staff reporterGrammatically or literally, it may not be possible for two guys to win the same game single-handedly. But that's the way tough-luck loser Matt Clement viewed the Cubs' 2-1 loss Saturday to the Colorado Rockies. "Basically we were beaten single-...Tags: Billy Williams, Baseball, Jay Payton, Kerry Wood, Matt Clement
