All bets off on Lo Duca

What a week it's been for Paul Lo Duca. Turns out the news of his pending divorce, which first broke on Monday, was only the tip of the iceberg. From there, it's degenerated to become a sordid tale involving a 19-year-old girlfriend, alleged gambling debts and one very angry soon-to-be ex-wife back in San Antonio. Oh, and there's been plenty of pictures, too. The former Mrs. Lo Duca is a Playboy alum and the girlfriend, well, she apparently has a few fun photos lying around as well.

Anyway, here's what happened today. The Mets' latest attempt to shield their All-Star catcher is two-sentence statement that claims Lo Duca is in the clear as far as the commissioner's office is concerned. Here it is:

"We have talked to Major League Baseball and they have expressed no concern of any violation of any Major League Baseball rule regarding Paul Lo Duca. Right now we urge Paul to focus on baseball and we support him through this difficult period in his life."

There you have it.

19 is one more than 18 which is LEGAL. Non-issue, he can boink whoever he likes and so can she.

Newdsay: Is there any chance we can see some of those photos ? Strictly so that we can, um, "formulate" our own opinions......so does Mrs. LoDuca work out?

Newsday, surely there is something better that your sports columnists can cover than Paul Lo Duca's marital problems? First you have that hack Bob Herzog make moronic comments that he hides from and refuses to back up, and now you zero in on Lo Duca's personal life. Perhaps it's jealpousy; after all, none of your hack rporters and columnists are going to have anywhere near the life of Lo Duca, a guy that has a hot 34-year old Playboy model of a wife and a 19-year old hottie on the side. Why you gotta be hatin'?

Maybe the Mets should ask Lo Duca's wife Sonia to play Mrs. Claus at this year's Christmas party !

Any chance the Mets can get Paul Lo Duca's wife, Sonia to play Mrs. Claus at this year's Christmas party !

What is Willie thinking let Galving throw 123 pithces in a MEANINGLESS game?!?!? This will hurt when Glavine gets shelled in the playoffs.

After all the recent news stories about the current and previous Mets catchers, the bottom line is that it's good to see Lo Duca behind the plate for us and that Piazza is part of our past.

The Mets should watch who's near the on deck circle in the stands as LoDuca get ready to hit.
If they're beefy guys with sunglasses, they may be telling him their vigorish is past due.
If he has a lousy at bat he might be nervous.

well paul is good put we do not know is he lieing or not i think he is not lieing and alot of people think the way i think but you never know what can happen

good paul

I have read and read again the last two postings over and over. I have studied them. I have created graphs and working modules regarding them. I scrutinized every word and researched them. But I STILL have no friggin' clue just what the heck angela or Vinny are TALKING ABOUT!!!!

Let LoDuca and LoDuca have their privacy in FAMILY COURT.....THOSE THINGS ARE PAINFUL. I believe that the additions of BOTH Preston Wilson AND Shawn Green will have a "more" significant impact on the Mets than any DIVORCE COURT "he said" "she said" baloney going on. Remember, it don't matter how much a couple loves each other....there are no pleasant divorces. A stupid example,see: Davey Johnson avoiding the 1986 Met anniversary celebrations. Maybe Davey should learn to let that go......

Angela and Vinny say you is da bomb

Frank D. don't tell people what to do you phony twit. The LoDuca's by both their actions have put it out there. Also,who the hell are you (with your jailhouse intellect)to poke fun at anyone's blog. Critique your own blog you empty head because you do not know anything about baseball.

JAILHOUSE INTELLECT? How about Sonia Loduca and Anna Benson in a no holds barred caged wrestling match. Now that's entertainment. It would make a small fortune on pay-per-view, but it might be misconstrued
as a non-family orientated event. But why should we judge? I want a show of HANDS for who would watch this. Newday can sponsor the event as "Novelty wrestling".
