From the cubicle: Cubs win
Tribune staff reporterLike you, we're stuck at work, forced to follow the game as discreetly as possible. We're hiding in our cubicle with the office chair cranked as low as it can go. It's important to keep up the illusion of actual work going on. That's why it wouldn't be...Tags: Mark Bellhorn, Kenny Lofton, Magglio Ordonez, Diving, Paul Konerko

'The Banger Sisters'
!["The Banger Sisters" is a practiced piece of Hollywood hokum, way too calculated and contrived, especially for a film that nominally celebrates the chaos and creativity of the 1960s. But, of course, it's the Geritol version of the '60s that is being presented here, the comfy equivalent of a pair of jeans with an adjustable waistband that obligingly offers just a skosh more room to house complacent sensibilities.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2002-09/4671838.jpg ""The Banger Sisters\" is a practiced piece of Hollywood hokum, way too calculated and contrived, especially for a film that nominally celebrates the chaos and creativity of the 1960s.

But after a 5-2 defeat to the Kansas City Royals on Friday night, the Sox have lost three straight since their season-opening win, a virtual rerun of last year, when they...Tags: Magglio Ordonez, Paul Byrd, Jerry Manuel, Jon Garland, Neifi Perez

Sox win by a shoelace
Tribune staff reporterFirst came the Ivy Game. Then the Rain Game. Friday night was the Shoelace Game. Given all the drama this season, it's hard to imagine that some people want to see fewer of these civil wars between the Cubs and White Sox. With Friday's game tied 2-2...Tags: Kevin Tapani, Magglio Ordonez, Paul Konerko, Jerry Manuel, Wrigley Field

'Moonlight Mile'
![Calculation and sincerity struggle for the soul of "Moonlight Mile," always an unequal combat when Hollywood is the battleground. What's on screen is too honest and from the heart to totally dismiss but too slick and contrived to completely embrace. This is a film that cares about genuine emotion but also wants to tame it, to tidy it up and keep it confined to quarters.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2002-09/4763208.jpg "Calculation and sincerity struggle for the soul of "Moonlight Mile,\" always an unequal combat when Hollywood is the battleground.

A wild start to Sox's ride
Tribune staff reporterIf first impressions are truly lasting, a survival kit may be necessary for White Sox fans to get through the 2002 season.

'The Alamo'
![Apart from John Wayne, who says we should remember the Alamo? The Daughters of the Republic of Texas, official guardians of the historic battleground, want us to remember the monument as "the symbol of heroic courage in the face of death and the struggle against oppression." And the makers of the new movie about the 13-day siege, which like Wayne's 1960 epic is titled "The Alamo," doubtless would like us to remember the battle all the way to the box office. Likely that explains why the tagline for their film — "you will never forget" — sounds more like a threat than a promise.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-04/12158847.jpg "Apart from John Wayne, who says we should remember the Alamo?

Teddy Greenstein's answers
Why is the heat on Jerry Manuel when the problem clearly seems to be with the talent? After the debacle with Todd Ritchie, the acquisition of David Wells and now the sucker trade of Koch for Foulke, it seems to me that the heat should be on GM Ken...Tags: Crimes, Baseball, Baltimore Orioles, Jon Garland, Wrigley Field

Tigers can't win:
Tribune staff reporterDETROIT-- When it comes to Tiger-proofing, Augusta National has nothing on Comerica Park. Detroit went against the grain when it built a new ballpark for the Tigers in 2000. Instead of constructing another retro bandbox, they made it a haven for...Tags: Mark Buehrle, Baseball, Magglio Ordonez, Jerry Manuel, Jon Garland
