Improved Hill pitches Cubs to win
Tribune reporterOne problem solved, maybe. The second is still a work in progress.

Chicago Cubs beat Pittsburgh Pirates in 12 innings

Cubs bullpen does its job

Mets walk past Cubs
Tribune staff reporterCubs manager Lou Piniella's fuse is getting shorter by the day, and he's likely to explode in the next few days if his bullpen continues blowing games.

Cubs on the upswing

Zambrano off in postseason audition
Tribune staff reporterLou Piniella was only a few syllables away from naming Ryan Dempster as his Game 1 starter in the playoffs Wednesday after the Cubs 9-6, 10-inning victory over New York at Shea Stadium.
