I was watching the Blackhawks game last night instead of the Cubs, but when the Wild scored two goals, I switched over just in time to see the collapse. I have a tip for those of you who are trying to win our $1908 cash giveaway by guessing the exact day the Cubs win it all. If you chose a day in 2014, you ain't gonna win it.
We posted a new batch of "This Week in Wrigley History" stories this morning. Today's entry goes back to 1934 and 1992. The A/V Club features the star of that 1934 game.
Today's Historical Event is the sinking of the Luisitania. Where were the Cubs?
Today's Cubs birthdays include a member of the first Cubs team to play in Wrigley Field, a man nicknamed Tub, plus cups of coffee from the 1890s, 1920s, and 1960s.
In the cup is half full department, this might be the next Cubs star to make it up to the big leagues. It's not one of the four studs we've been hearing about for the past few years.
