Anna Benson, Kris Benson Heading For Divorce

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- Anna Benson wants a divorce from Orioles pitcher Kris Benson, who still thinks the Mets traded him because of his impulsive wife.

Anna Benson, an actress and model who has posed topless, filed for divorce in Atlanta on Thursday. The petition for divorce claims the marriage is "irretrievably broken."

The couple has been married for seven years.

Kris Benson initially protested the deal that sent him to the Orioles. But now he thinks the Mets did him a favor.

"I was a little upset because I enjoyed my time in New York and I feel like they had a good team coming into the season," Benson said in a recent interview. "But now that I realize the opportunity I have, it's going to be a good career move for me."

Now, it appears as if he will go at it alone.

In 2005, his first full season with the Mets, Benson allowed three runs or fewer in 19 starts. He was 10-8 with a 4.31 ERA, but New York won 17 of the 28 games in which he pitched.

Despite those numbers, the right-hander was traded to the Orioles in January for pitchers Jorge Julio and John Maine. There was speculation that the deal was perpetuated by the behavior of Anna, who has her own Web site and publicly discussed intimate details of their sex life.

Mets general manager Omar Minaya contended that Anna Benson was not a factor in the trade. Kris Benson isn't buying it.

"New York is just a world of its own. I knew that coming in, but you learn that a little more when you get put in the spotlight like that in a negative and undeserving way," Kris Benson said. "It was a little frustrating at the time because people kind of believe what they read. For her it's been a little tough, because they kind of portray her in a negative light."


Not sure why I'm posting this other than the fact that it is an excuse to post some pictures of the soon-to-be-ex (and very right-wing) Mrs. Benson:

Yaa, she is a number. And not an anorexic teeny-bopper is a plus.

How come you never post pictures of half-naked men portrayed as sex objects?

Because it is my blog and I like half-naked women.

If you really want boys though, Davey, I can certainly arrange that. 


The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

Really? Like, every Friday post the "stud" of the week? That’ll be interesting.

Well, I got away from the Friday Babes for copyright reasons.  Swiping a few pictures and posting them here and there probably isn’t a big deal, but posting reams of them every week would probably eventually get me into trouble.

If you can get around that problem I’d give you a posting account so you can do it.  I just don’t have much interest in it.

I’m not sure why you would be upset that I’m not posting dudes though.  This isn’t a "fair and balanced" place.  I don’t write posts from a liberal prespective because I am not liberal.  I don’t post pictures of scantily-clad dudes because I’m not gay.

I was going to post something the other day, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it. Did something change when you overhauled the site a couple of months ago? I’d really like a posting account.

I had created you one before, but maybe I forgot to email you the details.

I just emailed them now.
