Tommy La Stella started the prank war earlier in spring training, but of course he should have known that no one gets the last laugh against Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer. The Cubs got in one final jab at La Stella Friday at Sloan Park, trolling him on the video board with the following message.
Great payback by Theo, Jed & Co. on Tommy La Stella and his “need” for a life partner: pic.twitter.com/rA9pfOqpwz

Wow, the Cubs with Rizzo just did a whole thing on La Stella on the video board, basically Rizzo asking the crowd to find him a "life partner". It was pretty classic. Theo and Jed got revenge. Last line was "good luck in Iowa". Ha

And yes, La Stella was well aware.

The mini prank war started when La Stella was parking in the front office’s spaces. That led to Theo and Jed taking his uniform and replacing it with khakis and a polo.

La Stella responded with a bounce house.
Tommy La Stella isn't parked in Theo and Jed's spaces today but this bounce house was. #Cubs pic.twitter.com/iiqXFm68BH

By the way, remember when La Stella was refusing to report to Triple-A a few years ago? So yeah the, “good luck in love…and in Iowa,” goes just a bit deeper.
