Other Sports Red Sox pitcher Jon Lackey divorcing wife with breast cancer

, 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.

Sounds like he was mentored by Johnny Damon.

I'm sure she'll be ok...she probably made at least $20M out of the marriage...highly doubt they are divorcing just because she has cancer...

Yeah... but **** that. We're going to throw out some accusation about this guy's relationship anyway.

Lackey's last Red Sox contract was for $83 Million. So if she gets half that's a lot of scratch. They've only been married for about two years.

For all that J.D. Drew gets ripped around here, the one I'd like to have DIAF is Lackey, whose personality/paycheck so greatly exceeds his contribution to the team that it makes me puke. Drew is overpaid, but when he plays he at least doesnt' flat out SUCK. Lackey is worthless. Completely worthless. And apparently is an A-hole to boot.

Aside from divorcing his poor wife who has cancer, being the worst ****ing pitcher I've ever seen, being overpaid by about 99%, and having the enormous balls to stare down Terry Francona on his way to the mound after Terry DARES to pull Lackey after a typically tremendous 3-inning 9-hit 10-run performance... I have no issues with him.

Seriously, Lackey may be the worst free-agent pickup, not only in Red Sox history, but in the entire history of all four major Boston franchises.

**** you, Lackey. **** you long and hard. I hope your wife takes you for every ****ing penny you have, which you STOLE FROM THE RED SOX you ****ing dickmunch.

So just because she has cancer...he should stay with her? I'd only say he's a douche if he divorced her just because of the cancer.

Just before Lackey pitched at Fenway last week, he got served papers by a guy dressed in Yankees gear, LOL. I wish I had a picture of Lackey's face when that happened.

Yeah he was probably laughing...as the papers were served to teammate Erik Bedard.

He's a douche, but that's his business. If they aren't happy, move on.

I dont think Drew is over paid at all. He's just not flashy and people dont like that.
