A.P. To the Cubs?

Spoke to Kevin Wheeler on the show Sunday night and he told me that Cardinals fans are having a nightmare of epic proportions. That nightmare is seeing Albert Pujols in a Cubs uniform next season.
Come on, never happen, right?
Well...
Wheeler discussed several Cubs players coming off the payroll after this season and in the coming seasons. Big contracts like Carlos Pena and Alfonso Soriano. There may very well be major cash in the Cubs coffers after this season.
Pujols wants a deal done by tomorrow and if not, then he will play out the season without negotiations and without distraction.
However, if in April the Cardinals offer Pujols the 10-years he is seeking at the money he wants, why wouldn't he sign right then and there?
The "I won't negotiate during the season" card is probably just a ploy. That's why Albert has an agent, so he doesn't have to negotiate during the season.
While I wouldn't mind in the least Pujols playing for the Cubs and seeing what kind of sick damage he would do at Wrigley Field, I do understand the concern of Cardinals fans. Albert Pujols a Cub? Just as Red Sox fans couldn't fathom Babe Ruth as a Yankee.
Crazier things have happened. Which by the way is one of my least favorite cliches. Sorry about that.
