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...... -
White Sox don't let winning catch on
Tribune staff reporterThe evaluation period brought mixed results Tuesday night for the White Sox. Jim Thome moved closer to the 500-home run mark. Josh Fields made his first putout in left field. And Gavin Floyd weaved his way through six innings. But the eighth inning...Tags: Texas, Paul Konerko, A.J. Pierzynski, Josh Fields, Danny Richar

Bats open escape hatch
Tribune staff reporterJim Thome's ascent toward 500 home runs and rookie Danny Richar's continued development highlighted the White Sox's climb out of the American League Central cellar Tuesday night. Thome hit his 493rd career home run, a two-run shot, and Richar added a...Tags: National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Jerry Owens, Bobby Jenks, Javier Vazquez, Paul Konerko

Sox's Konerko conked in head, then belts pair of homers
Tribune staff reporterPaul Konerko would be the first to admit he has a pretty hard head. But not even Konerko could have imagined a curveball bounced off his noggin could change the complexion of a ballgame, if not a season.After Cubs starter Kerry Wood hit him in the...Tags: Mike Schmidt, Jeff Fassero, Kerry Wood, Jerry Manuel, Chicago White Sox

Too close for comfort
Tribune baseball reporterMaybe the worst-case scenario has run its course with the Cubs. Todd Hundley almost was thrown out at the plate advancing from second base on Alex Gonzalez's double off the right-field scoreboard. He had gone back to tag up, then had to hustle to keep...Tags: Pittsburgh Pirates, Crimes, Crime, Law and Justice, Chicago Cubs, Mark Bellhorn

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: Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Cubs, Sports, Geoff Jenkins, Jose Hernandez

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: Tom Skilling, Television Industry, Lou Brock, Damaso Marte, Matt Clement

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: National League, J.D. Drew, Joe Girardi, Baseball, Jon Lieber

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: Paul Konerko, Matt Clement, Mark Bellhorn, Chicago Cubs, 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: Arizona Diamondbacks, Colleges and Universities, National League, Curt Schilling, Mark Bellhorn

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: Lenny Harris, Paul Bako, Milwaukee Brewers, National League, Kyle Farnsworth

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: Arizona Diamondbacks, Erubiel Durazo, Mark Grace, Alex Gonzalez, Damian Miller
