Just couldn't help themselves.

She may be just a supporting character, but she along with the incomplete story of Mike's child hood are the keys to developing her character and his. We clearly know Ginny's back story.

But other than those bits we saw when Mike played first, we still know very little about his or his wife. Those gaps need to be filled i n for both characters. We know that she's the only woman Mike's ever truly loved, they're in the process of divorcing, (but it's not final), she had an affair (again unexplained as to why - but I could make a guess. When Mike's on the road she's lonely and becomes attracted to somebody at work. When he's in San Diego, it's all Padres, they grow more increasingly more distant because of Mike's increasing like attention towards her and she has the affair). She's also engaged to a dweeb and we still don't even know exactly what type of on air reporter she is. Yes - she was reporting on a sports story. But that wouldn't necessarily make her a female sports reporter.

That's all we know. We don't how Mike's little league coach is also his father or about the kids he was playing with when Mike went to see him - but never did. Every bit of it plus Mike's relationship with his about to be ex have been told in pieces. Pieces that have yet to be completely put together. We don't even know her they met, their courtship or have ever seen them early in their relationship when they should've been as loving a couple as Blip and Evelyn.

If we were to see their backstory, one that shows us how much at one time they loved each and that their love went as deeply as Blip and Evelyn's, then we could start becoming emotionally invested in them. So much so, that we'd want to see Mike start attempting to win her back. But we've seen nothing about their past life together, which makes creating an emotional investment in them as a couple hard to connect with.
