Two months after the Mets traded Kris Benson to the Baltimore Orioles, Benson and his wife Anna are heading to splittsville. Anna filed for divorce in Atlanta saying that her marriage was "irretrievably broken." The Daily News reports that Kris was cheating on his wife with one of her friends. Anna Benson's spokesperson told the News, ""She's completely crushed; she didn't see this coming." At the time of Kris Benson's trade, it was rumored that one reason the Mets wanted to trade the 31 year-old righty was because of Anna's antics.

After much talk, the Mets finally got together with the Orioles and made a deal yesterday, sending Kris Benson to Baltimore for Jorge Julio and John Maine. Benson, who just completed the first year of a three-year $22.5 million contract finished 10-8 with a 4.13 ERA last season, his first winning season since 2002. With the hard-throwing Julio, the Mets now have even more back-end bullpen help for Billy Wagner. Julio, Baltimore's former closer, was 3-5 with a 5.90 ERA in 67 games last year and will setup Wagner with Duaner Sanchez who the Mets acquired earlier in the Jae Seo trade.

When he's not with the Mets, Mr. Met does appearances and has moonlighted in more than a few commericals. There were Sportscenter ads, including one with Ms. Met and a little baby Met and more recently a MLB 2006 advertisement. In the ad, Mr. Met is at the cleaners, waiting patiently in his normal clothes and without hat. Finally, the cleaner finds his clothes - his Mets uniform and gigantic hat. Has anyone else seen this awesome ad and can you give us a copy?

Anna Benson, pictured above and featured in this month's FHM Magazine is thought to like New York, as it affords her more opportunities to act and model. Always frank about the couple's sex life, Anna told FHM that she and Kris have yet to have sex at Shea Stadium. She also says that he hasn't worn her panties like Tim Robbins did in Bull Durham.

And, again, Anna Benson. The week in full from Gothamist Sports.

Russ Ortiz, the starter for the Braves, had not lost on the road since April 28th and he didn't finish the 5th inning in last night's game. The complete game shutout by Benson was the first one for the Mets this season, which should help in his contract talks with the organization.
