Good thing Carl Pavano took that time off from the most critical spring training of his career to be with ailing girlfriend Gia Allemand. It was time well spent, it would seem.

If you recall, Calamity Carl bailed on a scheduled start in order to be by Allemand’s side after she was reportedly hospitalized with a “serious medical condition.” Just a few weeks later, the Post is reporting that “just days away from the most important game of his life, much-maligned Yankee pitcher Carl Pavano has been given the hook – by his gorgeous girlfriend.” According to the report, Pavano had been cheating on the Queens native, prompting the split.

Via The Post:

“I stood by him and didn’t work so I could help him out, and he cheats on me. Nice, right?”
…
“I’ve given up too much for him. Carl hasn’t been there at all for me,” she said. “The time when I needed Carl the most, he hasn’t been there.”

Obviously hurting, Allemand described their relationship as being “as bad as Carl’s pitching!”

Ouch!
