In today's baseball news (only 3 days 'til opening day, ladies!) comes word that model Gia Allemand has done the unthinkable: She's dumped Yankee pitcher Carl Pavano.

As any moderate sports-fan knows, Pavano, 31, is pretty much the sexiest baseball player in the Major Leagues, rivaled only in the long-lashed, thick-haired and chiseled body dept. by another Italian-American hurler, the SF Giant Barry Zito. (Fun fact: Alyssa Milano has dated both Pavano and Zito). The word on the street (the "street" being Steppin' Out magazine, via The NY Post) is that Allemand, 23, put the injury-plagued Pavano on ice after the 6-foot, 5-inch pitcher cheated on her. "I was the one that trained him and got him there all year," she is quoted as saying. "I stood by him and didn't work so I could help him out, and he cheats on me. Nice, right?"

Is this woman for real? Doesn't she know that the whole point of dating a baseball player is sublimating your ambitions and putting up with slutty baseball groupies so you can get into games for free and have sex with a smokin' hot guy? Self-respect, shmelf-respect!
