But this spring, the Cubs and White Sox will play each other five times, including the pair of games they'll play in Las Vegas next week (Wednesday and Thursday, and both games will be on WGN-TV, and the Thursday game will be on the MLB Network). Despite the game being in a NL team park, both teams will use a DH (which you can do in spring training by mutual agreement), and the Cubs may use Aramis Ramirez as DH today. Also, last year's first round draft pick, Andrew Cashner, may pitch today or tomorrow. ...
