Mr. Selig: There is No Time to Waste. Please Move the Nationals to Louisiana !!!

As a follow-up to my rant of the other day, the crisis in Louisiana is worsening.

That crisis being : without a major league baseball team in the state, the society is beginning to crumble.

Yesterday, a Louisiana woman landed in jail when she attempted to trade two children for a bird.

The deal went down like this;

Paul and Brandy Romero advertised that they were selling their pet cockatoo for $1500.

A woman named Donna Greenwell ( also, Louisiana born and bred ) responded, and said she wanted to buy the bird. Greenwell then told the Romeros that she was taking care of three children whose biological parents were going through a separation.

Greenwell proposed selling two of the couple's children to the Romeros for $2000, saying that her job as a truck driver made it hard to take care of the children.

The parties allegedly negotiated a trade involving the two kids, the bird and $175. Naturally, all three parties are now in a cell at the Evangeline Parish Police station.

Personally, I would have thrown in Ian Kennedy and asked for the cockatoo and a canary.
