Mark, please tell me the Sox will make the right decision and call up Jerry Owens soon! Who is stopping it from happening? I think Owens is what this lineup needs. Ramirez looks over-matched at the plate and could be sent down. I realize he plays two...

Desperate men do desperate things. For Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin, it made sense to give Eric Gagne a one-year contract paying him $10 million. Melvin needed a closer, having been unable to keep Francisco Cordero from free agency....

The 100 players who have filed for free agency. Eligible players may file through Nov. 13: AMERICAN LEAGUE BALTIMORE (1) -- Paul Bako, c. BOSTON (4) -- Matt Clement, rhp; Eric Hinske, 1b/of; Bobby Kielty, of; Curt Schilling, rhp. CLEVELAND (3) --...

Happy almost Cinco de Mayo. Good thing Rex Grossman isn't on the Cubs…he gets distracted come holiday time. Speaking of the short-ish QB, I spotted him at brunch in Wicker Park about a month ago. Milk and Honey. I think he ate some eggs with ketchup. Or...

Rich Hill will have plenty of time to reflect on an enigmatic first half after the Nationals bombed him Wednesday afternoon at RFK Stadium. And which Hill shows up after the All-Star break could determine whether the Cubs are contenders or pretenders....

It took 137 games for Dusty Baker's patience to run out. But the Cubs manager finally had seen enough Monday after watching his players miss several signs that helped pave the way to a 6-4 loss to St. Louis at Busch Stadium. Albert Pujols' three-run...

Sergio Mitre suffered a mental meltdown in front of 39,298 fans Friday at Wrigley Field, costing the Cubs dearly in a 7-6 loss to St. Louis. The rookie right-hander didn't seem to have his head in the game during some key moments in St. Louis' four-run...

Imagine the shock for an Atlanta Braves fan who spent the winter abroad without giving his favorite team a second thought. Hey, that isn't Tom Glavine in a New York Mets uniform, is it? And what's the deal with Kevin Millwood wearing that Phillies cap?...

After being stir-fried by the Cardinals on a steamy Saturday afternoon at Busch Stadium, the Cubs were left searching for answers in the wreckage of a once-promising division race. Matt Clement gave up three runs in the first inning and watched his...

LaTroy Hawkins paced the Cubs clubhouse Friday night like a caged lion after walking home the winning run in the ninth inning of a 4-3 loss to St. Louis at Busch Stadium. There was no way to console the reliever after he walked Mike Matheny on a 3-2...

Our first thought in building RedEye's ex-Chicago All-Star team was to simply make a list and pick out the best. But that's too easy. Where's the difficulty in picking Luis Gonzalez over Doug Glanville? No, we like a challenge. Since so many players left...
