Obscured in the dust kicked up by Jake Arrieta finally signing and the creative terms in his deal, the Cubs were playing a baseball game today. And although Kyle Schwarber went really deep, the Cubs lost to the A’s 7-2. Chris Gimenez went back-to-back with Schwarber, and that accounted for all the Cubs’ scoring.
That’s two losses in a row for the Cactus League Cubs! Sacre bleu! How will they rebound?!

Javier Baez: "I'm 110 percent…that's good enough." (Laughter.) "I'm serious though."
