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.

So... are the Mets taking groundskeeper applications?

2 words:

That's a little harsh.

...and why can't I meet women like that?

How is it harsh? This would have been harsh:
Dirty Attention Seeking Whore

see the difference?

ahhhh.... the offseason!

"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.

Hmm, sounds like someone has already thought through her future divorce settlement.

I'm with Russ. I honestly spent 5 minutes trying to figure out what that was, though a lot of it was the layout on the page making it look like two words.

If I'm a Shea announcer, I'm sending whores up to Kris' room every night.

"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."


LMAO.

Best offseason move in years.
   14. The Bones McCoy of THT Posted: December 01, 2004 at 02:56 PM (#989177)
BTW, is this a tactic by the Mets' front office to attract free agents?

Wilpon: "So Pedro, we'll give you a three year deal with an option for a fourth and there's a chance you might get banged by Anna Benson."

An option and an Option J in the same contract.

   19. JRVJ (formerly Delta Socrates) Posted: December 01, 2004 at 03:08 PM (#989192)
Well, I for one do hope that Benson cheats on his wife.

The media fodder would be insane (and certain questions about Mike Piazza may well get answered).
   20. An Athletic in Powderhorn Posted: December 01, 2004 at 03:12 PM (#989198)
Kris Benson, you're a ####ing idiot. You deserve whatever you get. Or if you want to give half of your money away, tell me and I'll give you my address.
   21. MajorTom Posted: December 01, 2004 at 03:14 PM (#989201)
How many guys on the Mets team do you suppose are lining up women for Kris already?
   22. groove Posted: December 01, 2004 at 03:16 PM (#989204)
I think s- - -w stands for suckle and gnaw.

Minaya had a peice of that ass. Hell she probably sucked off Nelson Doubleday just for good measure.
   24. Barry`s_Lazy_Boy Posted: December 01, 2004 at 03:36 PM (#989223)
Just make sure you don't criticize Anna for saying this. She has a healthy, mature sexual relationship with the Mets franchise and you are too immature to understand.
   25. The Bones McCoy of THT Posted: December 01, 2004 at 03:42 PM (#989229)
"I did that deal . . . I laid out a lot of the terms."

In other words, she consummated it after she had the Mets jack up the required....price.

Which Primate is it who defends Anna Benson like she was Mother Theresa. That's great stuff.

I think two things are very clear: Anna Benson has opened herself up to being made fun of. And, she's opened herself up.

Wow, I don't remember Anna threatening the same in Pittsburgh. In fact, I don't remember her doing much in the town. Like someone said previously, the Mets may suck, but it won't be boring.

Perhaps Anna had already started and that is how Kris Benson got such a good financial deal even though he's an average pitcher.

I'm tempted to say "I'd do Anna Benson," just so I honestly could say that I did, except that this is so far into the realm of the theoretical it'd be like discussing your D&D campaign to the outside world.

And of course someone would bring up Piazza.

   41. Shredder Posted: December 01, 2004 at 04:22 PM (#989309)
Of course, the players mostly probably don't care, since a) the married ones probably have wives are just as hot, give or take, and b) they all can probably pull as much tail as they choose.

The trainers, on the other hand... Actually, the trainers probably do pretty well for themselves, too. The coaches I don't even want to think about.

   43. The Bones McCoy of THT Posted: December 01, 2004 at 04:22 PM (#989312)
Questions, questions, questions....

Hmmmm....would Anna Benson worked inside, whether she likes the hard one, if she likes men who consistently pop up, whether she'd like Trachsel who works slowly. Could she get any kind of consistent relief from Braden Looper? Would she go around the horn with Kaz and Garcia? Could she get past first base with Piazza? Could she get Seo in the shower quicker? Would she want to get pegged at second by Jason Phillips or would she prefer Mike cameron to go deep into the gap? Does she prefer a five man rotation over a four man? Would she like to be set up by Botallico or Weathers or maybe she'd like to help Franco to blow one were he still around. Perhaps she'd like to see Mike Stanton hang one....does she have a generous strike zone? Who's the long man in the bullpen anyway? Does she care who's lumber has the longest stroke? Does she prefer to work from the stretch? Or does she like working ahead? Or behind? Would she like to touch 'em all?

Best Regards

As Phil Mushnick once observed, no one would care about this woman if she had discovered a cure for cancer but pose nekkid and talk about your sex life, the primates come out in full force.
Just curious, has there ever been a ball player who was married to a woman of real accomplishment, not some actress or athlete??

The star center fielder on my high school team (CHS '99) had a girlfriend a lot like this.

Of course I was that CF. But I didn't really cheat on her. And she didn't really announce over the public airways that she'd screw everyone else on my team. She just did it.

And, no, I'm not bitter about it.

When did Anna come out of the woodwork? I don't remember hearing about her until Kris started making good on his potential, and stayed moderately healthy.

Well, Ray Knight did marry Nancy Lopez. Yeah, technically golfers could be called athletes, but I'd say she qualifies as a woman of accomplishment. She wasn't particularly attractive either IMO.

Gotta love Anna Benson though. Somebody should put together a reality show with her and Doug Christie's wife.

I wonder what the other Met wives think of this. This was one reason I didn't want him resigned (the other being that he's mediocre at best). A winning team can probably take this in stride, but the unnecessary pressure this could put on the players at home isn't a great thing for a rebuilding team and a new manager. It didn't do wonders for the Indians when the Eckersley-Manning sideshow blew up.

And all of this silliness to give more publicity to baseball's answer to Paris Hilton.
   73. The Kids Are Enright (1k5v3L) Posted: December 01, 2004 at 06:01 PM (#989508)

Well, supposedly Anna ratted out Brian Giles and Jason Kendall for cheating on their wives, creating major problems for Kris in the clubhouse. The Mets' wives may find out more than they want to know.

Heh... that explains why Kris Benson slammed Giles and Kendall in the press... man, from what I've read, Giles looks like the biggest D-I-C-K in the majors.

"Vlad defended her in the past- but this is somewhat ridiculous - I don't think he would now."

So, there's like no chance at all that she was, y'know, speaking with humorous intent? The other day at work, I was being flip, talking about hitting this real jerk of a regional manager in the head with a shovel and stashing the body in his trunk. Doesn't mean I'd actually kill the guy if it came down to it, though. It's hyperbole.

Dunno. I've seen her in a couple different kinds of normal day-to-day interactions, and I've never seen her flirt with/kiss/molest/accost anybody but Kris. She's a bit of a drama queen, so this was probably just her way of saying that she'd make his life a living hell if he cheated on her, and that's pretty much a universal trait among scorned women.

The financial stuff is probably the literal truth, though. She used to stick her nose into his negotiations with the Pirates, and I really don't think that was the best thing for anybody.

This is another one where I have a little bit of inside information, and while I don't know about him being a dick in the general case, he really didn't treat his wife very well.

Perhaps, but sharing it with the NY papers ? At some point - there's nothing wrong in accepting her based on what she projects.

Yes, but you didn't say it on national radio. There is the difference. If you had said it on national radio, there's a very good chance you would be fired. She said it on national radio, and there's a very good chance she's a slut.

Um, that's quite a leap there.

If she had blown Stern on the radio, then there's a very good chance she's a slut. If she had said it to the New York Times, there's a good chance she's a slut. If she goes on a raunchy morning radio show and says raunchy things, there's a good chance she's just having a fun time.

man, from what I've read, Giles looks like the biggest D-I-C-K in the majors.

I thought that was Jim Bibby....

"If not, Im curious- do you have friends in the organization or what ?"

I have a job that brings me into contact with a lot of different people, that's all. Most of my info about the Bensons comes from the following sources:

1) A chance meeting at a restaurant.

2) One professional transaction, which included a small amount of personal contact.

3) A co-worker with a crafts business who did a few commission pieces for them.

4) An acquaintence who's the father of the longtime GF of another Pirate pitcher.

It's not a particularly large or thorough sample, but it's more interaction than most of the people calling Mrs. Benson a slut have had with her or her husband.

If you're willing to pay attention to the things around you, you can find out all kinds of interesting things. In the space of one year, I've had dealings with four Pittsburgh Steelers and the ex-wife of a fifth, a former bullpen guy for the Royals/Indians, the wife of a retired 20-game winner from the '60s, and the gentleman who does the voiceover for the Penguins' radio ads, among others.

If there are any attempts to cheat, especially with my wife, I'm just gonna snap.

Thanks Vlad. On the larger point, understand where you are coming from, but people are basing an opinion based on what information they have available about Anna Benson. You have more, and certainly have a more informed opinion about it- but I don't see a crime here. And lastly - when did being a "slut" become a bad thing ? At school - we used the term for guys and girls- everyone had a friend who was the proverbial "man-slut"

JMM,
yes Jim Bibby might be the biggest jerk - but are you accounting for league and park effects.
   97. Slice Posted: December 01, 2004 at 08:36 PM (#989853)
I am assuming the Lupica article about Minaya is discussing something other than Ms. Benson. . .

JMM, I think you are thinking of Henry Bibby. Unless his brother was just as much a shithead as he was.

ACtually, I was just making a joke that referred to one (somewhat unnecessary) of the revelations in this book. Jim Bibby may or may not have been the biggest, but apparently had the biggest....

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

Gotta love Anna Benson though. Somebody should put together a reality show with her and Doug Christie's wife.

They have that wife swap show. Man, talk about culture shock. Christie might become an HoFer if he didn't have to spend the whole game making hand signals to his wife on the court.

BTW, I went to a Lakers game when I was in L.A., and that's absolutely true. Every time they headed back on defense after a made basket, he signaled to the stands with the "I love you" hand gesture. Every freaking time.
