Schoeneweis undone by Mariners

Chilly reception in Ohio

Cotts doesn't get out of 1st in Sox loss
Tribune staff reporterManager Jerry Manuel might have given his critics a year's worth of material by starting rookie Neal Cotts on Thursday instead of Mark Buehrle. Or the issue could die if Buehrle beats the Tigers on Friday night in Detroit. What is clear is the first...Tags: Carl Everett, Bernie Williams, Jerry Manuel, Paul Konerko, Death

McGriff powers Cubs past Dodgers
Tribune staff reporterBunting guru Sandy Alomar was impressed. Sure, he'd seen players earn doubles on bunts during his 30-plus years in professional baseball.

Puzzlement, sympathy from players on Sosa
Tribune staff reporterSome believe Sammy Sosa's legacy is tainted. Some say it isn't. Still others insist it shouldn't be. Only one thing is clear: Everyone has an opinion.

Royals yank rug out from under Sox

Sox finally subdue Tigers

Sox keep on chuggin'
Tribune staff reporterPerhaps the White Sox can blame it on the full moon. They nearly blew a six-run lead in the ninth inning Tuesday night before escaping with an 8-6 victory over the Twins.

Love that glove

The battle outside the lines
Tribune staff reporterBrooks Boyer's boyish face looked cautiously hopeful as he sat behind the large desk in his sparsely furnished office on a recent morning.
