During Sunday’s home game against the Cardinals Jason Heyward disappeared for several minutes after chasing a ball deep into the right field well. An interview after the game shed light on exactly where the gold-glover had been: a Mattress Firm outlet.

"We all know Dexter Fouler [sic] is a spy for the Cubs," wrote on Cards fan on Facebook. "How's he not get a hit ever time he's up to the plate when it's batting at Wrigley Field? So weak. The Cards need to cut his azz now!"

Ricketts: "Whatever you, don't go pulling this quote out of context just to get clicks to your stupid website using the 'worse than Bartman' phrase from what I just said."

he MVP-caliber season that Javy Baez is having for the Cubs in 2018 is certain to come to end Monday night in Washington, D.C., when he takes part in MLB’s annual Home Run Derby. With the “Full Javy” expecting to be jacked up to levels yet unseen, many experts believe that serious injury will be the end result.

"We were on our way to the airport and Javy comes up to me all sad," said Maddon. "'Hey coach,' he says, 'after the series I just had in Los Angeles, do you think I can just stay and play baseball here?'"

As the Yu Darvish saga continues to unfold, the Cubs are expressing disbelief that the pitcher's history of arm issues could have somehow been an indication that he might have similar troubles after joining the team this winter on a six-year, $126 million free agent deal.

Cubs’ second baseman and bat-flipper extraordinaire, Javy Baez, needed to be restrained by his teammates in the locker room after getting into an altercation with a mirror when his reflection looked at him the wrong way.
