Foul Ball Couple Split -- But Why? (VIDEO)

The couple made famous after an Astros fan let a foul ball hit his girlfriend has broken up already. Bo Wyble and Sara Saco-Vertiz split -- but the cause of the breakup is still unknown.

The couple appeared on "The Early Show" Thursday morning and said they weren't even sitting in their seats at the Houston Astros game when the incident occurred on Monday night. Saco-Vertiz told CBS that she wasn't badly hurt after Wyble let a foul ball off the bat of Astros third baseman Chris Johnson hit her on the elbow.

At the end of the interview, co-anchor Harry Smith asked about their relationship status. Although making clear that the two had parted ways, the female fan was vague: "Alright. Well, I mean it's not over because of the ball," Saco-Vertiz said. Smith cut her off before she could elaborate.

The relationship was a wrap before the game, he just gave her the best excuse to dump him. Plus his "I don't want to get hit with a ball" actions proved to be the final nail along with her freinds chirping in her ears.

Hod do you "let" a foul ball hit someone? Did he catch it and then throw it at her? Or move her in front of him? don't get it.

"It's not over because of the ball..................pause..................." in her mind *It's because he's hung like a stud Gerbil*

Maybe he will find a woman with the intelligence to move out of the way!

It's not like the ball hit her in the face. If I see something coming at my face I am going to duck or move. I find it hard to believe that most people would jump and shield someone over a baseball unless it was a kid or something.

Walking the walk.

Fair enough, Blues.

Is the news cycle so overloaded with crap that we now care about the relationship status of a couple because his girlfriend got hit by a baseball? I remember when the HP covered news,,, those were the days!

an interview like this might be the reason that the 'early show' is always last in the ratings..
