Baseball analyst Steve Phillips was fired by ESPN on Sunday night, less than a week after he admitted having an affair with a production assistant at the cable network.

A representative for Phillips also announced the former Mets general manager was entering a treatment facility "to address his personal issues."

Phillips' acknowledgment Wednesday of his relationship with 22-year-old Brooke Hundley was splashed across the New York tabloids for days, embarrassing the Bristol, Conn.-based sports giant.

"Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN," network spokesman Josh Krulewitz said in a statement. "His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways."

That's not cool. They fired him for banging this chick?

They should have given him a raise, for taking one for the team.

I think you posted the wrong picture. I'm seeing Steve standing with some long haired dude.

The girl he banged it absolute batsh_t crazy. The details of this are insane. She facebook stalked his kid, wrote a letter to Steve's wife about their affair & even said he had a "birthmark above his crotch" :lol:
