RON MALY HAS BEEN WATCHING THE PARADE GO BY FOR A LONG TIME. THIS IS ONE OF HIS WEBSITES.

It was anything but a happy 100th birthday today for Wrigley Field. The Chicago Cubs [as only they can do] managed to blow a 3-run lead in the ninth inning and lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks, 7-5. Before the game, one or two of us thought the Diamondbacks were the worst team in professional baseball. Foolish thinking, indeed. The Cubs are definitely the most-ridiculous, least-talented, poorly-managed team not only in this 2014 season, but perhaps in the history of the sport. Like I wrote earlier, it was a very drab 100th birthday for Wrigley Field. And now I'm thinking it will be another century or longer before the Cubs are able to climb out of last place in the National League Central standings.
