N.Y. Post: MET WIFE: I’M A TEAM PLAYER

The matchmaking of Anna…Benson.

Benson, on the Howard Stern Show…..I told him [Kris] — because that’s the biggest thing in athletics, they cheat all the time — I told him, cheat on me all you want. If you get caught, I’m going to s- - -w everybody on your entire team — coaches, trainers, players. I would do everybody on his whole team.

It's almost amazing that Doug Christie's wife let's him be naked around the other players. I know that professional athletes cheat like dogs bark, but at some point you have to think that he'll explode (not necessarily violently). Someday, probably with 2 years of his retirement, the Christies are going to have the ugliest divorce ever seen on planet Earth. Or one of them is going to kill the other.

Well, Aadik. wehn you are in college, you can get away with all kinds of self-destructive and libidinous behavior. The complications arise wehn you get married and start a family. Then what you do can have a tremendous impact on others close to you.

For instance, I wonder what slings and arrows the Bensons' kids are being subjected to at school after the classmates of their children read in the paper that their mom was willing to screw every last person on the Mets payroll, including the toilet attendants, if their father was caught cheating?

Kevin, I dont think you're in any position to be a moralizer - Im not question the morals of her actions the way you seem to be.

In Aadik's defense, college isn't the only place where that happens - there's always the Seinfeld option of living forever as a hearty bachelor, content in your masculine gains and free to make merry as you please. I guess the ultimate goal of this path would be to become Hugh Hefner.

Maybe Sam Spade.

It's gonna be a fun season. Especially if Pedro finds himself here.

Ah, Willie, not very smart leaving the Yankees.

Count me as another person not interested in throwing stones and Anna. A hot woman goes on Howard Stern and talks about promiscuity in an abstract and hypothetical manner?

Meh.

She isn't the first, or the last, to play sexual politics or make sexual threats in a relationship.

And if she really did have a hand in Kris's new contract, then she's a more talented negotiator than I am.

Somewhere a Mets bat-boy is having wet dreams of Anna as he plans how he is going to catch Kris in the act.

I can't speak for Jeremy, but this Boy Wonder will surely apply for a Mets batting boy job now.

Yeah, I'm sure this is a big issue for three-year-old Haylee.

Come on Matt, we have to shoot higher than bat boy, don't we?

This thread feels as though somehow Extra or ET has temporarily taken over primer. I don't care that his wife is hot and may in fact be a slut; I wouldn't touch her anyways, and I would get that opportunity just about as soon as Randolph tosses me the ball to close out the WS win. He, OTOH, is an over-paid mediocrity that helps to ensure that the Braves will continue their streak of ten straight divisional titles. So him I like.
   110. Johnny Tuttle Posted: December 01, 2004 at 08:30 PM (#989961)
I'm not attempting a hijack here--even though I would obviously see how others might disagree with me, that the Braves were behind the Expos when the 94 season ended has to count for something, somewhere, even if it is simply post 2-24. JB probably understands.
   111. runningbyrd Posted: December 02, 2004 at 05:06 AM (#990875)
Uh, let's just go ahead and tell the truth. It's more than 10. 94 never happened. We would have come back and won anyway, and would have won the world series that year too.

What?! You guys didn't get the memo?


And why would Doug Christie want to be naked around the other players?

You know, I've been in a lot of locker rooms, and being naked in front of a group of guys just isn't a big deal anymore.

Having said that, why wouldn't pro basketball teams have individual showers? I mean, they got space and money, and there aren't that many players. Might as well.

Anyone got the text of he original article and if so can they post it? Now in the archives and I want to do a spoof of it.

A.C. Green is his co-pilot.

MET WIFE: I'M A TEAM PLAYER

December 1, 2004 -- ANNA Benson, the former model and stripper who is married to
Mets pitcher Kris Benson, vowed yesterday that if she ever catches her husband
cheating, she'll have sex with all his teammates.
The buxom brunette, proclaimed "Baseball's Hottest Wife" by FHM magazine, said
on Howard Stern's nationally syndicated radio show:

"I told him [Kris] - because that's the biggest thing in athletics, they cheat
all the time - I told him, cheat on me all you want. If you get caught, I'm
going to s- - -w everybody on your entire team - coaches, trainers, players. I
would do everybody on his whole team."

"Mike Piazza just did a back flip," Stern said, egging her on. "Even the
coaches? What about, like, the bat boys?"

"Everybody would get a turn," Anna pledged. "If my husband cheated on me and
embarrassed me like that, I will embarrass him more than he could ever
imagine."

Even Robin Quivers got in on it: "What about groundskeepers?"

"If I'm lining them up," Anna said, "I'll [also] circle into other teams.
Whatever team he's playing, I will s- - -w all them too."

Stern asked: "What if your husband, the great pitcher, comes to you and says,
'Honey, I need two women at the same time. I need you to do that for me?' "

Anna replied, "You know, if that's what he came to me and said that he needed,
then that's what he would get, because he is my entire universe. I adore my
husband. He's a saint . . . he took me out of hell" - a reference to her years
on her own.

She added that she and Benson are so into each other, they've had sex in many of
the stadiums where he's pitched, including PNC Park and Three Rivers Stadium in
Pittsburgh.



"We're very busy because we have three children," she said. "You know what,
whenever we get the time to do it, we do it. If it happens to be there, that's
where we do it.

"I take total care of him," Anna continued, taking credit for the negotiations
for Benson's most recent contract that guarantees him $22.5 million over three
years, with an option for 2008 that would push the total package to $29.5
million.

"I helped with negotiations . . . I went back and forth a lot with that. He
didn't even have anything to do with that. I did that deal . . . I laid out a
lot of the terms."

The common view seems to be that Kris lacks b---s, but what about his agent? Reminds me of Spinal Tap.

I hear this ex-Met is working out feverishly on a comeback!

I heard Dick Pole just went to Jim Hendry and asked to be given permission to interview for a job with the Mets.

GregD,

Many thanks,

I'm guessing that Anna won't get the clap but a standing ovation.

Best Regards

John

"Everybody would get a turn," Anna pledged. "If my husband cheated on me and embarrassed me like that, I will embarrass him more than he could ever imagine."

Seems to me that would be pretty much exactly what your cheatin' husband would want you to do. And, call me crazy, but wouldn't it be Mrs. Benson and not her husband who'd be getting embarassed by her inviting everyone in the organization for a ride?

Well, you know how the old saying goes. Loose lips sink, uh ... nevermind.

"And, call me crazy, but wouldn't it be Mrs. Benson and not her husband who'd be getting embarassed by her inviting everyone in the organization for a ride?"

Well you're not crazy, but your wrong, Mrs. Benson doesn't seem to be the type that would be embarassed by this type of stuff. Not everyone considers sexual running around embarrassing.
   121. Mattbert Posted: December 03, 2004 at 12:30 AM (#992615)
Mrs. Benson doesn't seem to be the type that would be embarassed by this type of stuff. Not everyone considers sexual running around embarrassing.

Does it count that most of us would be embarrassed for her? Maybe it just underscores the double standard our culture has with respect to promiscuity.

Kris sleeps with Mets groupie = reflects poorly on Anna
Anna spreads 'em for everyone in the Mets organization = reflects poorly on Anna

She really can't win. Cuckolding just ain't what it used to be.
   122. yb125 Posted: December 03, 2004 at 12:42 AM (#992634)
"Does it count that most of us would be embarrassed for her?" I think Anna's concern would be if Kris cares.

"I don't think Anna would mind being shwon on the Jumbotron in a 5 on 1" If Kris cheats on her I'd expect her to video tape her conquest and sell them on Ebay.
