Learning the Campana and Soriano lessons
Two of the biggest stories in Cubs camp Monday involved Tony Campana and Alfonso Soriano. The former is leaving, while the latter would do so only grudgingly, and both represent object lessons for Cubs fans and management. Actually, Campana and...

Sox's Sale should employ lesson well
You almost never can boil a baseball season down to one game, let alone one pitch.

Your Morning Phil: Epstein, Indians, WBC
Talking baseball while wishing we could fast forward to first-round games in the NCAA basketball tournament: 1.

Cubs, Jackson should buckle up for bumpy ride
Watching the Cubs' annual opening exercise at Wrigley Field, an event lessened by Chicago politics and low expectations, there was plenty of time to wonder about a question that applies on both sides of town: WWBVD. What would Bill Veeck do? I'm...

Rizzo brings an attitude to every game — the right one
PITTSBURGH — The Cubs have a new tactic, and so far it's working.
