Heyward vs. Bumgarner: After all the hype, Cubs know they are a target

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The Cubs had two mimes lead the team stretch one morning this week and they still can’t get their signals straight.

Camp Maddon is perfect for social media with the karaoke videos and the pictures of goofy costumes, the Cubs getting ready to break tired unwritten rules the way a motivational speaker swung a sledgehammer at the cement brick resting on the manager’s chest.
