It's not easy being a punching bag
Tribune staff reporterHe doesn't want your sympathy. And it doesn't sound as if he'll get it at Wrigley Field any time soon.

Poor hitting, fielding sink Cubs to new low
Tribune staff reporterAfter a team goes from bad to worse, what comes next? The answer is Monday night's 11-1 loss to the Marlins, which qualifies as one of the Cubs' sorriest showings in a season full of pitiful efforts.
