If you've been watching the Major League playoffs, you probably have noticed a preponderance of bad calls. Guys who were called safe were clearly out, drives down the line were called foul when they were clearly fair and strategic substitutions were made that clearly made no sense. Something about poor judgment is in the baseball gestalt.

That's why it's not terribly surprising that the New York Post is reporting that ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips has been making some really bad calls in his personal life. Per the Post, the former general manager of the New York Mets had an … Read More

Troubled country singer Mindy McCready will tell the world about her sordid affair with former Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens on a VH1 reality series set to premiere in January. The singer and Clemens met when she was a teenager and reportedly had a decade-long affair that ended when he refused to leave his wife.

Mindy, 33, who had a platinum and a gold album in the late '90s, will appear on VH1's Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew next year. She is seeking treatment for her codependency issues, which she says stem from her relationship with the 47-year-old Cy … Read More

Barry Bonds may be a home run king (the godson of Willie Mays and the only man to hit 500 homers and steal 500 bases in his career owns both the career home run record and the single-season record, 762 and 73, respectively), but he can't seem to hold onto a wife. According to Yahoo! Sports, the seven-time Most Valuable Player is legally separating from his wife of nearly nine years, Liz Watson.

The slugger (who could actually field his position well to the tune of 8 Gold Gloves, awarded to the best fielder at each position, until his … Read More

Sore muscles, grueling training and abundant egos are the pitfalls of a professional athlete's otherwise exciting career. For those married to fellow pro athletes, add to the list long stints of time apart, living in different time zones and competing playing schedules. The compromise and support these relationships require is something we can all appreciate, even if our own relationships seem ordinary next to the hectic lives of athletic superstars.

DeLisha Milton-Jones is a two-time women's basketball Olympic gold medalist, two-time b-ball World Champion and two-time WNBA Champion. Her husband, Roland Jones, is a lion in his own right, a … Read More

Most of you know Roberto Alomar as a slick-fielding, clutch and power-hitting second baseman who played for the Padres, Blue Jays, Orioles, Indians, White Sox, Mets, and Diamondbacks. But Ilya Dall, an ex-girlfriend, claims that he's a guy who boned her bareback while he had the AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).

According to Deadspin, Ilya Dall (apparently an arm-wrestling champ) claims that the likely Hall Of Fame ballplayer had an AIDS-affirming spinal tap (not "Big Bottom") and deteriorating health back in 2006. They'd be riding bareback for four years at that point. A few of the … Read More

Does the start of fall mark your transformation into a sports widow? Does spring fever mean the only home runs being scored are on the baseball diamond? And does March Madness leave you playing one-on-one, solo? If so, take a time out and watch Love U's "How To Enjoy Watching Sports With Your Man." 

Dammit. Can something please start going A-Rod's way? OK, outside of the biggest contract in baseball, his good-looks, transcendent talent, and way with the ladies, what does Alex Rodriguez really have going for him? We don't know. He could have a world-class novel in there somewhere but lately not much has been good and it continued Monday night when A-Rod threw a party at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club and no other Yankees came according to the New York Post.

The Yankee 3rd Baseman's party, wisely, did not include Madonna but his mom made it as did … Read More

We hope that bridesmaids everywhere dying to throw their bride-to-be a fabulous shower won't ultimately settle for a fluorescent-lit reception hall or cramped living room where guests are obliged to "ooh" and "ahh" at vases and platters.

Of course, that's all well and good, too. But, WEtv.com came up with a list of shower ideas that don't involve building a "fouquet" (faux bouquet) out of plastic ribbons. We liked the ideas so much, we're swiping some and adding a few of our own:

• Wine Tasting

If you and your guests live near a vineyard, lucky … Read More
