  1. How to succeed at winter (without really crying)

    Given the lingering heartbreak imposed by the city's two major-league baseball teams, I recall something Bill Veeck said: "There are only two seasons—winter and baseball." Just as there are those who will be able to replace sorrow with buoyant "It is next year!" expectations come next season, so are there some, given the golfers above, who are able to ignore the pains imposed by winter and just go about life as usual. e It is to these people, and those who would like to be like these people, that this special issue of the Magazine is aimed. On the following pages you will find advice on making winter easier by using others to do your chores; getting tips on shopping, drinking, giving unto others and giving unto yourself; and delighting in nearby festivals and retreats. Of course, the Tribune's critics chime in with recommendations of such fare as caroling at the Bean and the Joffrey Ballet's production of "Rites of Spring." e All of this is meant to give you a more satisfying and active few months than those had by the baseball great Rogers Hornsby, who did a short stint with the Cubs and once said, "People ask me what I do in winters when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." —Rick Kogan

  3. Ramirez's huge night leads Cubs

    Tribune staff reporter
    Aramis Ramirez is so hot, he may hear the sounds of cash registers ringing in his sleep. Ramirez went 4-for-5 with two home runs and a career-high seven RBIs on Monday night in the Cubs' 11-6 victory over Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park. "It's a...

  4. From the Cubicle

    After the Cubs trotted out two rookie starters yesterday with mixed results we return to the surest thing this banged-up and over-matched team has: Carlos Zambrano. Big Z not only is the Cubs' best pitcher, but, at this point in the season, I'd say he'...

    Tribune staff reporter

  7. Paul Sullivan's answers

    Cubs fans are full of wacky theories. E-mail them to Paul Sullivan so he can pass them on to other Cub fans. It's Paul's great pleasure to do so in the latest edition of Ask Paul: Paul, I think George Krogstie is on to something with the goatee thing. I'...
