That's coming through in a pinch
Special to the TribuneIn the end, they don't ask how, just how many. So though the Cubs' 4-3 victory over Arizona on Friday will not be remembered as one of baseball's classic come-from-behind, last-inning triumphs, it was their fifth win in the last seven games in their...Tags: Wrigley Field, Javier Vazquez, Troy Glaus, Shawn Green, Matt Murton

Cubs, Prior in fast lane
Tribune staff reporterWith the wind blowing in at 15 m.p.h. and perennially rebuilding Pittsburgh in town, everything was in place for Mark Prior to dominate Thursday as the Cubs opened their second-half schedule.

Reds play power ball
Tribune staff reporterIf Cincinnati is looking for a motto for its 2006 club, it may want to borrow the tagline of pro golfer John Daly. "Grip it and rip it."

Winning road trip almost frustrating
Tribune staff reporterThe Cubs can't help but think "what if" when they look back on all the missed opportunities this season.

Lee enjoys birthday bash as Cubs win

But that's exactly what happened Wednesday night at Wrigley Field, and his persistence ultimately paid off. Lee paid back...Tags: Wrigley Field, Michael Wuertz, Rich Hill, Jack Wilson, National League

Phil Rogers' All-City team
Tribune baseball reporterOutside of being, say, Barry Bonds' public relations man or one of the guys who collects urine samples, there aren't many jobs in baseball worse than the ones Ryan Dempster and Bobby Jenks have.

Better play, happy days
Tribune staff reporterManager Dusty Baker said after Friday night's 14-inning triumph that perhaps "the worm has turned" for the Cubs.

Braves in spot to lower broom on Cubs
Tribune staff reporterFrom 1876 to 2005, no team had swept a season series from the Cubs. But San Diego became the first with a 7-0 record this season. Now it appears lightning might strike twice. Atlanta edged the Cubs 2-1 on Sunday at Turner Field for its sixth straight...Tags: Atlanta Braves, Juan Mateo, Matt Murton, Aramis Ramirez, Chicago Cubs

Houston's rally out at the plate

Bad outing, more doubts
Tribune staff reporterQuestions about Mark Prior's health surfaced again Thursday after another shaky outing in an 8-6 loss to Milwaukee, but the answers were as elusive as Prior himself. Whether Prior will make his next start is up in the air, and the possibility of Prior...Tags: Brady Clark, Jeff Cirillo, Juan Mateo, Aramis Ramirez, Jacque Jones
