Another Phillies pitcher set to marry a ‘Survivor’ contestant
Posted by meech.one at 10:21 pm ET 53 Comments

Following in the footsteps of Cole Hamels and Heidi Strobel, Phillie/IronPig Kyle Kendrick is all set to marry his bar owner/Survivor alum of a girlfriend in a late 2010 ceremony at the Silverado Resort in California’s Napa Valley.  TV blogger for Philly.com, Jonathan STORM, has the deets:

Circle Nov. 13 for the wedding of Philadelphia’s Survivor sweetheart Stephenie LaGrossa, 30, and Phillies lefty Kyle Kendrick, 25.

Circled?  Gooood.

As you may or may not know, Kyle Kendrick has spent two seasons and some change with the Phillies, while his wife-to-be Stephenie just wrapped up her third go-round in her role as “Stephenie” on the hit NBC TV show, Survivor.

I’m sure everyone wishes these two love birds all the luck in the world as a happily married couple, but what most concerns us Phillies fans is whether or not Kyle is ready to reclaim a spot in the 2010 Phillies rotation.  One person who thinks this shouldn’t be a problem is the future Mrs. Kendrick.

Prepare to update your scouting reports:

“He only had two pitches,” Stephenie said, “and the batters caught up to him. Now he has five, and his change-up is sick.”

I also heard his 4-seamer is ill and his sinker’s mad dope, yo.

Opposing batters beware!

    Nice fleur de lis, homo.

    *fart noise*

  2. Gonzo says:

    The universal signal for changeup is 4 fingers. I bet she loves that.

  3. Gonzo says:

    Nice fleur de lis

    Shouldn’t this wedding be on the QT and the Hush Hush?

  4. Will they be wearing matching Suits too?

  5. DaveTheSnake says:

    “Phillies lefty Kyle Kendrick, 25.” Did Kyle learn how to pitch with both hands?

  6. tonyisdynamic says:

    I feel like such a fag for knowing that Survivor airs on CBS, not NBC.

  7. meech.one says:

    I wrote NBC, then checked and realized it was on CBS, then figured I’d just leave it so I could call anyone who corrected me a loser. LOSER!

  8. MP says:

    The description of this yet-to-be seen “sick” change up does not instill a whole lot of confidence in this fan.

  9. Lynniemac says:

    Maybe Kyle can wear his IronPigs tuxedo uni, since he thought they were for his benefit, anyway. And while I would not describe said sick change up that way exactly, it was pretty effective by the end of last season.

  10. Crane Kick says:

    I hope the World Series parade doesn’t get in the way of the rehearsal dinner. Side note – she was my beer pong partner before. We lost.

  11. Matt says:

    Kendrick throwing lefty will really throw everyone off, he’ll win 10 games by the All-Star Break.

  12. MP says:

    Keep in mind, his start was against a barely AAA Mets team. I’ll wait till next year before passing judgement.

  13. Phils Phan says:

    I feel like he could have done better. And, at 25, he needs to play the field a bit more before settling down, else he be another Tiger Woods (with a higher class of waffle waitress, I hope).

  14. greenman! says:

    wow she’s got 5 years on Kyle. She’s been around and knows how to spot a sick change up.

  15. Bill Swerski says:

    I guess if she’s Annie Savoy, that would make him Nuke LaDOUCHE.

  16. Lynniemac says:

    Meech, I knew someone would find that picture. Kudos to you, sir.

    “wow she’s got 5 years on Kyle.”

    Yep. Another way in which the Kendricks-to-be are following in the Hamels’ footsteps.

  17. scflo says:

    Nice article you know your stuff. Look at the picture dummy as I believe that is his right hand he has the ball in and

  18. scflo says:

    Wow who does the research for your articles. I believe if you know anything about Kendrick, or have seen the picture, the ball is in the right hand. That would make him a righthander. And CBS NBC same thing! Hey I think Corky from Life Goes on isn’t doing anything. Maybe he can help you research your articles.

  19. Joey Wade says:

    ^ pwned.

    BUT ANYWAY future mrs. Kendrick is doing something that is usually referred to robbing the cradle, but in his case, he’s robbing the grave.

  20. DPW says:

    Hey isn’t that Tyler Walker?

  21. Watrick says:

    She was at the Parade in ’08. I saw her pictures on facebook. If anyone can find those old photos, there’s some very interesting KK pictures on there. Kind of made me not like him so much.

  22. BJ says:

    I always thought she was more of a Danys Baez Gonzalez type of girl…

  23. Greg from Havertown says:

    True Story: A few years back, I was at a Beef N Beer where there was a silent auction and raffle and Stephenie was there autographing Survivor headbands and head shots of herself. (Not much a demand for any of the items she was signing).

    Anyway, the B&B ended about midnight and as it was ending all of a sudden you see a chair fly across the floor, a drink spill, etc. It was Stephenie throwing an absolute shit-fit at her apprent boyfriend (This was pre-KK). He was standing there saying “Why are you yelling at me like this? Can you stop, please? Can this wait till later?” Meanwhile she had an audience of about 40 people watching her go bonkers and act like classless moose knuckle. A lot of people just looked at each other and rolled their eyes. She totally ruined the vibe of an otherwise nice evening of charity. It would have been much nicer without this raging bitch.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’d still let her chew on my meat-chord. But dear Lord, she’s got zero couth and needs a little humility. And she also needs a break from the tanning booth.

  24. beef says:

    she worked with a friend of mine for 2 weeks. got the job, purely based on her “celebrity”, found out it was actual work, and quit within 2 weeks.

    a baseball wife perfect for her. well see how long they stay married when he is still in AAA in 2013 though…

  25. the grump says:

    wicked jeans

  26. meech.one says:

    Oh shit, I might have to start a new site, http://www.stephenielagrossaisprettymuchacunt.com

    Who has more stories?

  27. Watrick says:

    I know someone that works with her, I’m sure I can get some more dirt, meech. I’ll see what I can do.

  28. Nino Espinosa says:

    Hopefully she is not pranking him like Brett Myers did. He seems sorta gullable in a likeable way.

  29. Mand(i) says:

    ok this doesn’t have anything to do with this post but does anyone know if the phillies 6 packs went on sale yet?

  30. chase.me says:

    he’ll be wearing a doggy backpack in no time.

  31. MP says:

    Mandi they’ve been on sale for awhile now.

  32. Kamala77 says:

    @Mand(i)

    Yah they went on sale a while ago – here’s a link: http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/phi/ticketing/sixpacks.jsp

  33. will.H says:

    oh, look at the buns on that one

    he must work out

    Lloyd’d

  34. Morandini Turned Three says:

    Really not sure that KK could have done better. He’s cashing in now before he’s sent back to AAA for the rest of his career. Hope Stephanie likes Allentown!

  35. Ash says:

    Wouldn’t it be great if “Stephenie” turned out to be Brett Myers in a mask and this was all another amazing practical joke on Krazy K?

  36. World Porking Stephenie Champion '010 says:

    Well, on the bright side…she’s fairly hot, but i’m not estimating this marriage to end happily. She was already married once after all, and it ended after only like a year. But like I said, she’s doable…and that’s about the only good thing I can say about her, besides the fact that she spilled the beans about her future husband apparently developing 5 different pitches. Would be really interested to see how Kyle does this coming season.

  37. PhillyCuban says:

    only 8 days after the Derek Jeter-Minka Kelly wedding

    cant wait til Nov

  38. World Porking Stephenie Champion '010 says:

    Somehow Kyle Kendrick always struck me as the type who would end up in some pussy-whipped marriage, and right now that’s how it looks. She seems like one of those psycho bitches, who look fairly hot but are totally insane to deal with on a regular bases. Good luck Kyle, although I think you are making a mistake!

  39. JP says:

    They should have traded him and kept Lee, at least Clifton would never have been photograhed wearing those gay-ass-matching-jeans!

  40. Amandah says:

    She’s a Survivor? Was she in the Holocaust or something?

  41. Scott Eyre says:

    The sign for Change-up is Three fingers, dumbass. Slider is 4.

  42. Stephenie says:

    3 in the pink and one in the stink. Thats me!

  43. Gonzo says:

    The sign for Change-up is Three fingers, dumbass. Slider is 4.

    Good thing you are retiring. Because I learned that change up is 4 when I was 6 years old.

  44. Steph says:

    http://www.ew.com/ew/video/survivor

    scroll down for “Survivor 20 – Stephenie (Hero)”

  45. Lynniemac says:

    I haven’t looked at the above video, and I’m assuming it’s on the Entertainment Weekly website, but I find it hilarious that a Survivor video is on “ew.com”.

  46. BD says:

    maybe now kendrick will be as mediocre and unmasculine as cole hamels… one could only hope

  47. Heathcliff Slocumb says:

    As mediocre – possibly

    As unmasculine – no way

    He would literally have to grow a vagina.

  48. Jdashdog says:

    A vagina doesn’t grow it blossoms

  49. Scott Eyre says:

    Good thing you are retiring. Because I learned that change up is 4 when I was 6 years old.

    That’s why I made the Majors, now go eat a weiner

  50. the phils are goin through a rough patch j werth will be back to normal thats my dawg. good luck to
