1. I would be distracted 24/7 ...

[joeybee12]

2. I saw a headline: "Upton Dating Verlander"

And I assumed it was OUR Upton!!!!

[RockaFowler]

3. Me too

That was why I posted it at first!! That was the original title

[KamaAina]

6. Actually, I would have thought B.J.

the Rays' B.J. Upton, that is. Get your minds out of the gutter, people!

[joeybee12]

17. I'm convinced our Upton IS BJ Upton!

[KamaAina]

19. Actually, I'm pretty sure he's the D-Bags' Justin Upton

[bluedigger]

4. But good news for Verlander!

[Auggie]

5. Indeed ...

although, as there is in any relationship, you have to ask what the maintenance is like. That works for Upton as much as Verlander.

[bluedigger]

8. If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

[Auggie]

9. I've been in high-maintenance relationships ...

not worth it.

[bluedigger]

10. Yup.

I'm due for some reinforcement of that contention, too. It's been a while...

[KamaAina]

7. Is she the Jessica Simpson of baseball?

[RockaFowler]

11. I thought Allyssa Milano was that

Didn't she date a ton of pitchers before getting hitched a few years back??

[bluedigger]

12. Pavano, Zito, and Penny.

So maybe a half ton, combined.

[KamaAina]

13. The point is that Tony Romo sucked even worse than usual

whenever Jessica Simpson came to watch him.

[madinmaryland]

15. You got a thing for Tony Romo don't you!!

[KamaAina]

16. There, there. Don't cry.

[madinmaryland]

14. I thought Upton was a guy and was a SF Giants fan.

[TZ]

18. Lucky girl!

Seriously, Verlander is cute and talented and funny...I'm jealous....
