It's no laughing matter, but we surely could count on Harry Doyle to lighten our spirits over the performance of Cub relievers. But if you care to shed a tear, go right ahead. Then take a look at what would happen if you were in space.
Cub Tracks is taking it a little easy this weekend. So we're looking for little signs of growth. Check out today's column for the good signs and the bad signs when it comes to Cub development.
The team's relievers are embroiled in a chewing gum controversy, so Cub Tracks is chewing on the numbers. Our links look at whether there will be enough money to spend on the payroll AND whether there will be anyone to spend it on.
Watching the Cubs' struggles can make you long for science fiction. So inspired by Reed Johnson, Cub Tracks is hoping the team is actually run by superheroes. So we are keeping our eyes on Cub management, hoping to see spandex and capes.

The Cub closer is all the talk and none of it is real good. Check out Cub Tracks to join the closer conversation as well as chat about young guys taking the clubhouse reigns.
The joke was on the Pirates as the Cubs ruined the Bucs' home opener. But Cub Tracks won't get fooled again watching Carlos Marmol fling baseballs in the general vicinity of home plate. But a win is a win, so let's talk about Theo and Shark instead.
As Cub fans, the joke is usually on us, anyway. So let's not get fooled tomorrow. But maybe the Cubs can fool all the "experts" and contend. Baseball is a day away! Prep yourself with Cub Tracks.
Lots of news from Jeff Samardzija this week. He says the clubhouse is now free of "me guys." Let your mind, and comments, run with that. Soriano is indispensable, Scott Boras is a shrewd negotiator, and a kid cleans the oceans.
I take my duty seriously, just like Anthony Rizzo. That's why I bring you stories about condoms. Oh, and Cubs baseball, too. Today we're talking about injuries, why we're excited for the season to start, and a cool father-son reunion.
