Position analysis: Pitching will be a priority
A pitching staff that included Ryan Dempster, Paul Maholm, Matt Garza, Jeff Samardzija and Carlos Marmol went belly up in 2012, despite prolonged stretches of dominance from those four starters and the closer. The Cubs finished 24th among all major...

After controversy-free, if lousy, season, Sveum persists
It may be small consolation, but the Cubs were basically controversy-free in 2012 for the first time in decades. While their 101-loss season goes down as the third-worst in club history, there was no backbiting or visible jealousy in the clubhouse, a...

Sorry, Cubs fans, but this is worse than you thought
Sorry, Cubs fans. My condolences. Your team is worse than I thought -- whoops, wait a minute, I think another Cub just struck out -- and so is your future. It’s not here yet and won’t be for a long time. Heck, it looks like it’ll be...

What is Tom Ricketts' number?
As Carlos Marmol rolled through this week with an earned-run average under 1.70 in his previous 12 outings, manager Dale Sveum said he expects Marmol to be the Cubs closer next year. Nope. Sorry. Not buying it. Granted, 1.70 is a nice number number, but...
