The Chicago Cubs took on the Chicago White Sox today, and both teams won! They also both lost!
… I guess the word is “tied.” The Cubs and White Sox tied today, so we’re all winners and losers … and neither (and both!)! That’s already the Cubs’ second tie in just four Spring Training games. At least that silliness never happens in the regular season, right?
Despite the lack of a significant ending (and aside from the fun of playing the White Sox), there actually were quite a lot of significant parts moving around in this one.
For example – and in case you missed it earlier – check out this lineup:

With the exception of just Mark Zagunis in right field, that’s a very real (inter-league) lineup the Cubs could use this season. Sometimes, of course, Albert Almora will get the start in center field, but Jon Jay will get his fair share of time there, too – especially early on in the season, before Almora really has a chance to run away with the job (fingers crossed).

Anderson did what he does when he's right: got first 3 guys to hit ball on the ground, one found a hole, K'd Davidson looking to end inning

Anderson freezes hitter with 92 on the corner. Good sink on FB early today

#Cubs Lackey, Lester and Hendricks threw live BP today. Still waiting on sked for when they'll pitch in games

Maddon raved about #Cubs prospects Hannemann, Jimenez, Happ, and Candelario. "Those are impact players"

Also good reports on #Cubs Pierce Johnson after his outing vs SF. Apparently, pitching in relief suits him
