Just One Bad Century--March 24

Over the weekend Thiw Week in 1945 was posted. The War in Europe is closing around Hitler, Chicago streetcars in are the most popular mode of transportation, a ruling from the governement brings three Cubs stars out of the woodwork, and a talking cat makes his film debut.

Today's Cubs birthdays include a current Cub, a cup of coffee from the 1880s, a first round bust, and more.

The A/V club breaks down our current Cub birthday boy's sweet swing.

In today's Cubs news, the roster battles for the final backup spots, they still haven't officially decided on a fifth starter (although it looks like Villanueva has the lead) Castro should be ready for the opener, Travis Wood will start the home opener, and of course, Javier Baez was sent down to the minor league camp.
