Which are you? Sox-Cubs reader, or NATO reader?
Readers, realtime online metrics tell us, cannot live on NATO alone. They must have some Chicago baseball coverage. And the crosstown Cubs-White Sox game provided just the right relief. The Sox won it, and it was Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood's final game...

I'm happy for Wood, but what are the Cubs doing?
Kerry Wood was going to retire. No, wait, he wasn’t. Kerry Wood didn’t think he could pitch in the majors anymore. No, wait, he wanted to pitch one more time. It looked as if the popular Cubs pitcher who was viewed by some as Tom Ricketts&...

A cautionary tale for Robert Whitenack
While the Cubs paid tribute to Kerry Wood in a private ceremony Saturday at Wrigley Field, Robert Whitenack was about 1,700 miles away, throwing on the side in the smothering Arizona heat. He had his own little strikeout moment a week ago, fanning...

Everything's Jake with the Sox
During spring training, Jake Peavy said he wouldn’t try to become a pitcher who relies on guile after surgery robbed him of the power he used to have. Peavy lied, and good for him. He has become as smart as he is good. When he lost the plate in...

Is it time for a new Ricketts to run the Cubs?
Tom Ricketts needs to do something. Even in hiding from everyone except one reporter he believed he could use, Ricketts needs to order something done.
A trade. Yeah, that’s it. Ricketts needs to trade someone. Maybe he’ll trade Matt Garza...Tags: Sports, Wrigleyville, Wrigley Field, Carlos Zambrano, Thomas Ricketts

It's time to root, root, root for ...
Cubs fans claimed they would be patient and understanding with the idea of sitting through a rebuilding program. Not that fans had any experience at it. The Cubs always acted like the Yankees with a learner’s permit. The Cubs were always about...Tags: Sports, Starlin Castro, Ian Stewart, Dale Sveum, Jeff Samardzija

Taking swings at the Cubs' opener

Hawks have to look at trading Kane
I don’t know what the Blackhawks could get in trade for Patrick Kane, but they have to find out. I’m not saying they must trade their star forward just to trade him. I’m not saying they have to take a bad deal. This is not the Cubs&...

Wonder why Marmol is still a Cub
I don’t know why Carlos Marmol is still a Cub.
I don’t know if Marmol knows why he’s still a Cub.
Only Theo Epstein knows, and he should know better.
Marmol is the European sports car of closers --- finely tuned and destined to cost a...Tags: Andrew Cashner, Sports, Starlin Castro, Lendy Castillo, National League
