Cubs vs. Cards Needs La Russa

By bullpenbrian - October 27, 2009 - 12:51 am Leave a comment.

Cubs fans won’t admit it, but we would all miss Tony La Russa had he left St. Louis for greener pastures.

Every good rivalry needs a dislikeable leader on the other side, and La Russa fits the mold perfectly.

He comes off grumpy and opinionated, but most notably, he’s smart.

Yet, there’s no surprise La Russa decided to remain with the Cardinals for another year.

After spending 15 years managing in St. Louis, a terrific baseball town with Dave Duncan and Albert Pujols at his beck-and-call, why would La Russa want go elsewhere anyway?
