MIKE: WHIFFS

METS slugger Mike Piazza has struck out with Playboy Millennium Playmate Darlene Bernaola. We hear the Peruvian-born stunner gave Piazza the boot when he became increasingly hard to live with after the Mets lost the World Series. Bernaola moved out of Piazza's New Jersey mansion and has taken up with another eligible bachelor, Miami nightclub impresario Shawn Lewis. The couple were spotted cuddling in the front row at the recent Lennox Lewis-David Tua fight in Las Vegas.
