Just One Bad Century--April 1

It was a rough opening day loss for the Cubs yesterday. Wellington Castillo shows everyone exactly how it felt for Cub fans...(click on the photo)

Lots of positives there though. Great performance by the Shark. And Emilio Bonafacio looks like a keeper. There's no game today--back it tomorrow night in Pittsburgh.

At JOBC, we debuting a new feature today. This Week in Wrigley History looks at all the memorable moments over the past 100 years that occured this week at Wrigley Field. There have been very few on April 1 & 2, but two of my favorites are featured later this week. A big wet sloppy kiss and the best Opening Day of my lifetime (I'm 50).

Today's Cubs birthdays feature a guy who came just one pitch away from a no-hitter, plus a cup of coffee from 1919 and 1964.

The A/V Club has an entire episode of the Bob Newhart show about the Cubs.
