I came across this interesting collection of photos posted by a young lady from San Diego who was hanging out with her girlfriends at Nationals Sports Bar on October 1, 2006. They sort of tell a story of what happens when you run into five Angels players in a sports bar. She even captioned a few of the photos and describes an altercation between Mike Napoli and Jeff Mathis which I found a little frightening. Anyway here is her story in pictures.

I was reading some articles in the New York Post about how even the wives and girlfriends of other Yankee players are growing sick and tired of Kate Hudson, Alex Rodriguez's girlfriend, for her cheering antics, public displays of affection, and carousing in the front row stands instead of taking her place with the other wives and girlfriends in their appropriate private suites. A rift has grown against Kate led by Minka Kelly, Derek Jeter's girlfriend and star of "Friday Night Lights" (she played the daughter of the auto dealer in the show). There now has formed the "Kate camp" and the "Minka camp" of wives and girlfriends.

The New York Post article linked to WAGrankings, a website devoted to provocative photos and brief stories about Wives And Girlfriends (WAG) of professional athletes (note: some of these photos not safe for work environments). I looked through to see if there were any Angels player WAGs and found only one, Alicia Machado, a latin beauty linked to Bobby Abreu.

The story that went along with Alicia was kind of good. She and Bobby were all set to tie the knot in 2005 when Bobby was still with the Phillies and had won The Home Run Derby that year. Alicia Machado was crowned Miss Universe in 1996 and was a big star in Latin America. In 2005 Alicia appeared as a cast member on the Spanish celebrity reality show "La Granja" and was taped having sex with a fellow cast member Fernando Acaso. After the show aired Abreu immediately called off the engagement and ended the relationship. It was a big scandal in Latin America and Alicia publicly apologized for her actions. Alicia Machado also appeared in the Mexican and Venezuelan issues of Playboy in 2006. She appeared in US Playboy in 2007 and dedicated the issue to Donald Trump.  Alicia gained twenty pounds during her reign as Miss Universe that caused her humiliation when Donald Trump described her as "an eating machine."
