Where has she been you wonder? In Baltmore with her hubby who has been on IR all year. It's funny how when someone leaves NY they seem to disappear. Benson did a short Q&A with Bugs and Cranks and she offers her usual deep thoughts in this interview. Safe for work   more...

Today's Philadelphia Enquirer is reporting that the Phillies are much more interested in Kris Benson than they are letting on. Benson at one point, was a very promising pitcher, but has never really taking the next step. He has a wife who verbally attacks team management and teammates. He is 33   more...

Don't really care about her husband but I do know they're still together, even though I've seen more than a few articles on here lately claiming otherwise. Don't worry, it's not like I want her to be married to some douchebag who can't throw a decent slider to save his life but that's just the way   more...

A good list of players who made an absurd amount of cash for doing next to nothing last year. Does it really pay to have a huge payroll. One could argue that it doesn't matter how much your payroll is it's the amount of talent you got on your side that matters.

Uhh, yeah. So, Kris is out, but nobody cares except Orioles fans. Anyone have an Anna Benson update? Maybe some pictures?

Apparently, Kris Benson will miss the 2007 season with a partially torn rotator cuff. If you ask me, he's faking it so he can stay home and make sure the pool boy and the electrician aren't filling out his wife like an application while he's out getting lit up by Manny and Jeter for six months.   more...

Yesterday I wrote a piece about Adam Eaton and his struggles this spring. Eaton is the leading candidate for the 5th starter spot, but with the terrible spring he is having, he is losing his grip on the spot. Too bad there isn't anyone stepping up to take it away from him.Here are the Spring   more...

Kristin (Kris) Benson, wife, I mean husband of Anna Benson is done for the year with a torn rotator cuff and now it looks as if the Orioles might have to look into the services of Steve "The Trashbag" Trachsel. Well atleast they can take solice in the fact that they really had no chance of being   more...

We all know Kris Benson is irrelevant. That's why his torn rotator cuff doesn't get me emotional. But with Kris out of the picture, will we hear more of Anna'a antics? You know, the one who was willing to sleep with every teammate of Kris' if he was caught cheating?

A season in and it's time to reflect on what Leo Mazzone has 'brought' to the Orioles (Jaret Wright). Is it possible his role with the Orioles has had a negative effect on the team? 'Camden Chat' makes the point that it might.

Reportedly Mets scouts were in attendance during the O's/Rangers series to watch Benson pitch, but it doesn't look like any deal will happen. The mets were also told Erik Bedard isn't available.
