Cubs Make a Mess of Wrigley's 100th Birthday

Wrigley celebrated its 100th birthday today and the Cubs decided to make it microcosm of the last 106 years. They started the embarrassment by not inviting one of the most storied players in franchise history. Sammy Sosa, who led the Cubs to two postseason appearances in his time in Chicago was not in attendance. That's big considering they have only made the playoffs a total of six times since they last lost the World Series in 1945. Apparently his 545 career homeruns for the Cubs must have slipped the minds of whoever was in charge of the invites. As if that wasn't enough they then decided the maintain suit and blow the game in the 9th. Instead of slamming the door they gave up five runs to the d-backs who have been less than stellar this season too at 6-18. Can't think of a better way to remember the last 100 plus years of Cubs baseball.
