MESA, Arizona — The symbol of how meaningless these first two Cubs Spring Training games of 2022 are: There are zero photos in our photo editor for either of them. The photo of Kyle Hendricks above is from last September.
But! Baseball is back on the field, even if it was with mostly minor leaguers, only some of whom will become decent major league players for the Chicago Cubs.
The Cubs lost 4-3 to the White Sox in Mesa on a brilliantly beautiful Arizona afternoon. Or, perhaps I should more correctly say that some guys wearing Cubs uniforms lost to some guys wearing White Sox uniforms.
