Country music singer Mindy McCready - whose 15-year romance with pitcher Roger Clemens has made her a player in the Rocket's federal perjury investigation - suffered a nervous breakdown last week, and entered rehab Tuesday night. According to a source close to the 32-year-old McCready, the toll of recent pressures - her link to Clemens, a probation violation last month for falsifying community service records stemming from a 2004 prescription fraud charge, her ongoing custody battle for her 2-year-old son Zander and an attempt to revive her career - played a role in the singer's personal setback. McCready was interviewed extensively by federal authorities in May in connection with the Clemens case.

... or her setbacks played a role in all the above.

They have a rehab for Twinkie abuse? She looks like 350 pounds of bread dough.

Man. this poor woman is so screwed up!

Didn't her parents allow her to spend entire nights with Clemens when she was still a teenager? If so, she's a victim of idiotic parenting and predatory sexual behavior on the part of the slimeball Clemens.

Nice to see someone showing a little compassion and understanding of a fellow human being in trouble. Who knows what brought her to this place in her life? I don't see why it is on MLB T&R though ... it's probably covered on TMZ and PerezHilton. I hope she can turn her life around and be a good Mom to her little boy.

I want sports truth and rumors not CMT truth and rumors.

She named her son Zander. What's his middle name......Zone?

Thanks. I subscribe to the George Carlin Sports Camp on the differences between baseball and football. Baseball games can (and do) go on forever but football has a rigid time limit.

July 24, 2008  09:23 AM ET

Baseball is played in a 'park'. Football is played in a stadium.

I could go on but I won't.

July 24, 2008  09:36 AM ET

Shouldn't this be in the Country music section of T & R?

*LOL* That's okay. I get your point! ;)
