Red Sox pitcher Jon Lackey divorcing wife with breast cancer

[eazyb81]

, wow, this guy has had a season for the ages. Multiple meltdowns, showing up his infielders, staring down Terry Francona when he came to take him out of a game, and now this.

Boston Red Sox pitcher John Lackey is seeking to divorce his wife, Krista. Well, that’s all well and good, it’s his business, right? Not so fast. His wife is currently battling breast cancer.

Lackey filed for divorce on August 30, according to official documents. Lackey says in the papers, “the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities.”

Krista had a double mastectomy in March and most recently had chemo in June.

Lackey pitched on Sept. 25 and expressed a lot of frustration after the game during a an interview.

“Let me tell you the truth. Thirty minutes before the game, I got a text message on my cellphone from one of you, somebody in the media, talking about personal stuff,” he said. “And I shouldn’t even be standing up here having to deal with this. I don’t know who got my phone number, but that’s over the line.”

Apparently, a reporter doing their job and getting a no-name pitcher’s cell phone number and asking him a question is crossing the line, but divorcing your cancer-stricken wife is all good.

Needless to say, these sorts of stories should remain the business of the couple and any family involved. But this story drips of utter douchebaggery.

Stay classy, John Lackey.

You should have entered this thread by saying...

"While J.D. Drew was GROSSLY overpaid, I still think he was a good player and he did hit that 1 grand slam in the postseason that made us forget about how terrible of a signing he was for a few minutes..."

Then you could have saved face for a second.

saved face lol, I'm SO worried what some winner on a message board thinks. Id take a top 10 OBP/OPS player with well above average defense at his respective position any day. Take your fantasy pillowbitergy shit elsewhere.

Good thing his buddy in SD gave him Adrian Gonzalez as a going away present.

You can even question his drafting. As for AG, the Sox gave up some pretty top tier talent to get him.

I'll be drafting Crawford in every league next year...hopefully in the 4th round. Nothing like getting 1st round talent in the 4th round.

I got Jacoby in the 6th or 7th round this year...needless to say I'm two days away from winning my league championship!

Jacoby! (I honestly feel dirty saying Jacoby was my favorite player this year since I loathe everything Boston)

lol have YOU watched any baseball or do you just check your little fantasy stat page? CC looks UTTERLY lost, he has been putrid at the plate, awful on the base path and disgusting in the outfield. Will he "bounce back", maybe but its not looking good.

There are very few things I'd like better than to see my wretched team finish off the season by driving a stake through the black ****ing heart of your team followed by burning the corpse for good measure.

Nothing personal, though.

What ever makes cellar dwelling tolerable I guess. Sometimes you get hot at the right time and sometimes you dont.

26 outs for Shields before Maddon pulls him.

But..Rays win 5-2.

Sox 3 outs away from being tied in the WC race.
