Most of last night's episode about the life of "Baseball Wives"—who may be true, but are not from Hollywood—could have easily been cut and pasted into a Lifetime Original. It was a perfectly non-confrontational look at the life of someone married to a professional athlete. There was talk of meet cutes, adorable proposal stories, cuddly kids, and rousing on-the-field successes. Plus, there was the tear-jerking dark times. Drugs. Kids with head diseases. They even discussed David Eckstein without using the word "gritty." Then things took an ugly turn, when some dude decided to spill the beans about players' "extra curricular" travel activities.

Nice job, narc. Not that Heidi Hamels or Jennie Daigle (neé Finch) have to worry about that. Even Laura Posada is the type of lady whose man always comes home on time. But when Derek Jeter is your husband's designated wingman, anything is possible.

Given that she's made the bottom of list and that it's even mentioned at all, McCallum seems to imply that Finch is doing her two-year-old son, Ace, a disservice with her blog post titled "Potties, Binkys & Blankies." Finch writes that she's getting "stomach cramps" just thinking about the day she'll have to take said Binky and Blanky away.

We do know its time, we just aren't ready yet. We, notice, all three of us. We know we are digging the hole deeper and deeper as each day passes. My stomach is now to a complete cramp just talking about it. I know many moms are out there thinking get a grip and a back bone! The time will come, when? Not sure, but it will! Every one already thinks he's that 5 year old kid with a binky because he is so tall. I need a shirt for him that says, "My daddy is 6'5" I'm only 2! Leave me, my mom, and my binky alone"! As you can tell I have a complex. We are getting there trying to limit it to naps and night time... for the most part. The day will come, just not sure when.

Poor, Ace. Can't wait for the day when Jack McCallum spots the young boy on the street and just rips the binky right out of his mouth.

Tonight, enjoy yourselves and say a little prayer that the Phillies will somehow make a miraculous trade for Matt Holliday even though Jayson Stark has already snuffed out that rumor. Just do it. For me. Please?

Either way, thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Be back tomorrow for more, more, more, if you can, please.

'Night.

Then, you have others who are trying everything in their power to destroy that notion by dilligently filling out a top ten list of "Next" Jennie Finches. You can all thank the Angry T for his progressive thinking after you take a look at
"Searching For The Next Jennie Finch at This Year’s College Softball World Series," where he does the yeoman's work of objectifying teenage athletes for the purposes of advancing this theory.

If I were a still gambling man, I'd say that Adrienne Acton has herself a pretty bright future too.

Commence having anonymous conversation about this topic that some people would find appalling.
