From the Bird’s Nest: Saints Come out Fine in Bush Deal
The Saints have traded Reggie Bush. And, that's going to be a good thing. There was never a question something had to give.  Bush's contract for 2011 was simply too much for the Saints to pay.  Everyone knew that. New Orleans could have made Bush an offer.  But it ...

From the Bird’s Nest: Are the Cajuns Going to be THAT Bad??
It's a good thing I don't put much stock in preseason predictions. Otherwise, I'd be pretty damned depressed right now. Because no one, and I mean no one, is giving Louisiana much of a chance when football season starts. Just read some of what folks supposedly "in the know" have to say...

John Wall Bungles First Pitch
I think it's safe to say John Wall won't be leaving the NBA to pursue a professional baseball career. After throwing out the first pitch of the Washington Nationals game on Friday, Wall made Jay Walker look like Sandy Koufax. Check out the video of the awkward pitch.

Eighteen wins.  Four saves.  288 2/3 innings. That's what Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns lose from their pitching staff as they prepare for the 2012 season.  Two weekend, starters, Taylor Hubbell and T.

The Cajuns say goodbye to leading hitter Mike Petello (.351-9-42) and that's a big loss.  Petello was a solid performer in the middle of the lineup and had an outstanding arm in the field.  Also gone is team captain Matt Goulas (.280-2-14).  Lance Marvel (.304-1-22), an outfielder who served as the DH, also departs.
