October was set up to be a crazy, zany month with fans preoccupied with our national pastime. Now, we can all get back to things of lesser significance, like the presidential election and the economy.

It's time to move Zambrano before he becomes an all too familiar problem for Cubs fans. We've had our share of arm injuries to franchise pitchers, and I'm not in the mood for another.

Although I've lived less than two miles from Wrigley Field for more than 30 years, I've never been much of a Cubs fan for three reasons.

You can lose Game One and still come back. You can lose Game Two and still come back. But not if you play to lose. Not if those "Not again" fears drown out the optimism.

It got late early and the Cubs just gave us more of the same. In what was thought to be a change postseason for Major League Baseball, the North Side nihilists ended up giving hope the finger. The curse will not be reversed.

The economy's in the toilet, your 401(k) is worth as much as Neifi Perez's autograph, and the White Sox are still playing while the Cubs are scheduling tee times in Scottsdale.

Chicago baseball is in some kind of golden age. You know this. It's been 102 years since both teams made the post-season. Enjoy it while you can.

The Cubs turn to a man with an 18.47 ERA in his last two starts to avoid going down 0-2. They're comfortable with that. "[Carlos Zambrano is] our hor...

It's a long plane ride out West. Maybe the Cubs will have their own Manifest Destiny, taking two in L.A., and come back for an encore in Chicago. It's nice to dream.
Jon Greenberg | Posted 11.01.2008 | Chicago
This team has been so good all year, and the rest of the National League so average, it seemed predestined that in the 100th anniversary of the Cubs' last World Series title, they would win again and exorcise the old demons that have haunted this club and its fans for so long. This was a new team, you were told, a new beginning. So why does it feel the same?

The popular sentiment among the ink-stained wretches here at Wrigley Field was the Cubs had to win Wednesday in order to win the series. In other news, you need air to breathe and water gets you wet.

Carlos Zambrano always seems to invite some kind of controversy, or at the very least, a dose of whimsy.

For the next month, all of our worldly concerns will take a back seat to ... baseball. For the first time in over 100 years, both Chicago baseball teams are in the playoffs.

For Chicago sports fans, having both the Sox and the Cubs in the play-offs is nirvana. But for the local music scene, it's more of a mixed blessing. S...

While it's a bit unfair to blame Bartman for the Cubs' failure to reach the World Series in 2003, that display was indicative of what's wrong with today's so-called sports fans.
