If the Cubs hire Walt Jocketty that might lead to him bringing
in Tony LaRussa and then Tony might bring in Albert Pujols.

Wittenmyer says it is not as far fetched as it seems.

Walt Jocketty I could live with and truth be known I'd have to
hold my nose a little if Pujols came over to the Cubs but Tony
LaRussa would be a deal breaker-- I've loved the Cubs
practically my whole life but I could never learn to stomach
LaRussa and his f-ing arrogance.

Look on the plus side - Tony LaRussa would bring in Dave Duncan.

If Ricketts truely wasa cubs fan before he bought the team there
is no way in hell that he bring in LaRussa.

Oh and that would probably end my fandom. I hate the guy and
all his bullshit games he plays.

I think Wittenmeyer is just looking for something distinctive to
write about. There will probably be even more bizarre
suggestions in the coming months.

But it's still very very very damn farfetched.

Perhaps it would not be far fetched, but it would be mis-guided.
LaRussa is getting rather long in the tooth, particularly for a
team which is rebuilding. And, for that matter, so is Pujols,
considering the contract he will command.
