Cubs fail with the bags full
Tribune staff reporterThe Cubs all-or-nothing offense looked like a pretty good bet against Houston on Tuesday with the wind blowing out at 18 m.p.h. and Brandon Duckworth on the hill.

Punch line: Cubs lose
Special to the TribuneRound 2 went to Roy Oswalt. Houston's starting pitcher survived two home runs and a poke in the leg from the avenging Cubs.

Real hit parade

Cubs richly earn wrath of the fans

Sweet 16 for Sosa

Braves no longer a sure thing in East
Tribune baseball reporterImagine the shock for an Atlanta Braves fan who spent the winter abroad without giving his favorite team a second thought.

Cubs need some 'O'

Clement misses the mark
Tribune baseball writerIf the Cubs are holding a trump card in their hand, it's their collection of starting pitchers. It's almost always bad news when one of Dusty Baker's front four asks his free-swinging teammates to win slugging contests. Matt Clement did just that Tuesday...Tags: Houston Astros, Gregg Zaun, Billy Wagner, Moises Alou, Alex Gonzalez
