The Worst Hitter Ever

Adam Dunn is going after his record of the worst hitting season ever (he hit .139 one year).

Craig Counsel is going after his worst (non)hitting streak ever (he went 0 for 46 in one stretch).

But neither of them will ever match the overall futility of Bill Bergen. The New York Times has a great article about him.

Old Style

There's a rumor going round that Old Style is trying to get out of their 61 year relationship with the Cubs.

The Chicagoist reports on the rumor.

Cub Haters

I get why some people don't root for the Cubs. But what I don't get is why they so viscerally hate those of us that do. It's like taunting a homeless man. He's already homeless, for cryin' out loud. Why dance on his misery? Just move along and try not to choke on your own bile.

This guy, for instance, has some serious psychological problems.

The Wrigley Heat

The heat has been a big story in Chicago this week, and throughout Cubs history it has played a factor too. Today`s Tale from a Bad Century is about the hottest days the Cubs have ever played day games at Wrigley Field.

Milo

This week's Cubs Hall of Famer at Just One Bad Century is probably my least favorite Cubs announcer ever...Milo Hamilton.

Milo never clicked with the Cubs, but he did do the play by play of one of the biggest baseball moments of my childhood.

Read about him and listen to that moment here.

Jose Cardenal

Today's Tale from a Bad Century at JOBC is about the wacky hijinks of one of my favorite players when I was a boy: Jose Cardenal.
