I’ll take it from Piniella and say it is the second cooler destroyed this year by a Cubs player. Not long ago, pitcher Carlos Zambrano damaged the Gatorade cooler in the dugout when he was livid after being removed from a feeble outing on the mound.
A bases loaded walk to Jake Fox in the 10th inning gave the Cubs a 2-1, walk-off victory over Milwaukee before a raucous crowd of 41,204 Friday at Wrigley Field. Hardball: Ex-Manager: Bradley under microscope Hardball: Cotts done after Tommy John surgery Piniella had fun with his long-aw...

With Aramis Ramirez scheduled to return from the disabled list on Monday, and the Cubs paying Alfonso Soriano and Milton Bradley far too much for them to sit on the bench (despite their play), Fox appears to be headed to the bench, or potentially even back to AAA.

Carlos Zambrano takes aim at his first win in five starts this afternoon when the Chicago Cubs continue their four-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley FIeld.

The Cubs are now 2.5 games out of first. If they are able to win this series, they will be no more than 1.5 games behind the Brewers when Milwaukee leaves town. If the Cubs sweep, they might not find themselves settled in at first place (the Cardinals and Reds would still have a say in that) but they w...

Still, let's just think about it for a second. The Cubs, sweeping the Brewers, smacking around the Braves, and then demolishing the Cardinals. That feeling in your gut that you had just now? That's optimism, my friends. Cherish it while you can.

Shortstop Darwin Barney, a prospect that may not be as popular as Vitters, was recently called up to Triple-A Iowa. The Spring Training invitee could join the likes of Ryan Theriot and Mike Fontenot as Cubs who've turned college success into something positive at the professional leve...

It just simply makes sense to keep Lilly in Chicago. He produces every year. He has bettered himself since being here, and I think he will continue to do so. Dempster will be gone and Zambrano could be gone, and let’s not talk about the newest news of the Cubs being interested in Pedro Martinez.

It's amazing how fast the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft has grown over the past decade. Some of us can remember when picks after the first round were secret for at least a week. (That's why Bob Brenly's story about him calling the commissioner's office to see if he had been drafted isn't...

• Cardinals' bullpen: The Achilles' heel of this team. This group makes the Cubs' pen look pretty good, and that's saying something. Hopefully the Cubs' bats can force La Russa's hand to go to the pen. If you're bored/frustrated, turn to: Seriously? This is the first game of Cards/Cubs at Wri...

Soriano, LF Theriot, SS Lee, 1B Bradley, RF Ramirez, 3B Johnson, CF Soto, C Miles, 2B Gaudin, P Kosuke Fukudome will be returning to camp soon, and will have a lot to prove to fans and teammates who saw his free-fall in the second half of last year. One place he won't be going is the minors:

Just heard Lou Piniella on the Waddle & Silvy show, and while he didn't come out and say the media played a role in the Cubs' playoff collapse, he left that window slightly open. And I'm sure it is difficult to be in Lou's situation. Just ask Ozzie, who always says the focus is much sharper on...

And I suppose all you want to talk about is Milton Bradley. Bradley and manager Lou Piniella had words in the dugout after Bradley flied to left in the sixth inning and, to make a long story short -- and the story may yet get longer -- Lou sent Milton home, but not before Bradley had slugged the Ga...
