Foul Ball Couple Breaking Up?

(CBS)  The foul ball seen 'round the world has apparently led to the couple involved going separate ways.

The young couple got a painful lesson in chivalry - or the lack of it - at a Houston Astros game at Minute Maid Park Monday night.

Sara Saco-Vertiz was struck on the right arm by a foul ball off the bat of Chris Johnson in the fourth inning.

She and then-boyfriend Bo Wyble were sitting in field-level seats down the left-field line. As the ball approached, he hurried out of the way at the last second, and it hit Saco-Veritz.

The incident was caught on tape, and the video's gone viral, having been clicked on more than 350,000 times on YouTube.

On "The Early Show" Thursday, Saco-Veritz indicated the two have called it quits - though she said it isn't only because of what happened at the game.

Asked by co-anchor Harry Smith about their status, Saco-Veritz said, "Alright. Well, I mean it[s not over because of the ball. Um…" "More than we want to know," Smith interjected.

She also said she wasn't badly hurt at all, and revealed she and Wyble weren't even supposed to be in the seats they were in at the time - they'd moved up, she sheepishly admitted.

Saco-Veritz said she'd warned Wyble that the seats they switched to would make it more likely a ball would hit them. Wyble told Smith he then told Saco-Veritz he'd catch it if one came their way. But when it did, Wyble told Smith, he "lost sight of it," so he scampered away, figuring she would, too.

"That's all ya got?!" in the way of an excuse, Smith asked incredulously.

This is the most ridiculous waste of air time I have seen in quite a while. That CBS would spend this amount of time interviewing these two people is absurd--hardly a news story.

Sara:

What would you really expect when you date a goober named Bo Wyble from Texas. Try setting you sights a little bit higher, like elephant stall cleaner at the Dallas Zoo.

See how one incident showed the true colors of her boyfriend, and that was all it took for her to know he would not stand by her in protecting her even from a baseball, and he would be even less protective against something serious. This was an episode on "King of Queens" when Doug wouldn't take a hit from a paint ball, instead he jumped out of the way. What ever happened to chivary in men of today? Is it because women have wanted to be equal with men, so therefore men don't feel they need to protect them as the weaker sex or gender anymore? My parents were of the older generation, and raised me to be a gentleman, and my sister to be a lady, and only equal respect was taught us to be shown to men and women. In today's world, men wear jewelry (ear rings, etc.) and women fight in the military, and wear tattoos. How strange and backwards the world has become.

you base your position on a TV episode of King of Queens?

She could forgive him and eBay-off the famous ball for at least $10K!

Truth be told, the Kid shouldve clocked that rude interviewer right upside his smart-a** mouth. CBS should fire that extremely rude guy. He took the 4th grade approach to his interview. I'm actually pretty disgusted for him right now.

Lol at all the people who pretend they'd come off better if cameras caught them having to make a split-second character-revealing decision.

Did anyone else notice that the spelling of Saco-Vertiz got switched in the copy to Saco-Veritz? You'd think they'd double-check name spellings throughout the article, but obviously not. I know I'd pitch a fit if they got my name wrong.

[StraightRights]

at least show her naked!

She's a hottie, that's all I got to say!
