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

It's time for Wrigley Field scoreboard to …
Go ahead. Get the tar and feathers. Or I'll stack the wood and bring the matches. Not being a Chicagoan by birth, I know I should just stay away from your sentimentality. If you think ketchup on a hot dog is an act of subversion, so be it. I'm not...

How will Ryan soap opera play out?
Look out, below. The Rangers, who not so long ago were morphing into the Yankees, are coming down to Earth before our eyes. Barring some diplomacy worthy of a great secretary of state, Nolan Ryan is on his way out of the organization. He feels...

Camp more mainstay than short stay
MESA, Ariz. — Shawn Camp walked into Cubs camp late last March. It was only 10 days before opening day and he knew four people in the room. Luckily for Camp, one of those four was manager Dale Sveum. And perhaps even better for Camp, there were few...

Cubs working at pace sure to free up prime seats
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A friend was at Wrigley Field recently, picking out a location for his 2013 season tickets. He was struck by the abundance of choices. "Man, they have a ton of unclaimed seats this year,'' he said. "Attendance will be a big...

Your Morning Phil: Sanchez, Porcello, Dickey

Deals with Jackson, Villanueva shore up rotation
