Red Sox John Lackey

Divorcing Wife Battling Cancer

 

0924_john_lackey_getty_ex

Boston Red Sox pitcher John Lackey has filed to divorce his wife, Krista ... who is in the middle of battling breast cancer.

 

Lackey filed on August 30, according to court docs in Texas, claiming "the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities." Krista and John got married in November, 2008.

 

Sources close to the family tell TMZ ... Krista underwent a double mastectomy back in March and underwent chemo as recently as June.

 

The divorce petition says John and Krista had a prenup. It also says Lackey has "separate property" he wants to keep for himself.

 

Lackey filed the divorce papers using only his and Krista's initials -- a tactic Tony Parker and Eva Longoria ... and Sandra Bullock and Jesse James also used in their Texas divorces.

 

It's unclear why Lackey -- who's struggled on the field all season long -- didn't wait til the off-season, about a month from now, to start divorce proceedings.

 

Lackey's camp had no comment.

Red Sox have to win Wild Card for that homer to give Ellsbury the MVP. AL contenders are just so thin.

"Thin" is not the word I'd use to describe the AL MVP Contenders. Thin is how I'd describe them when Pedroia won. This year, if Ellsbury, Verlander, or Bautista won it...wouldn't you say that they totally deserved it?

If Boston loses and Tampa Wins today, it's over. Tampa gets the wild card spot.

 

And if Tampa gets in, I don't see how they're not suddenly the favorite. They'll have the most complete pitching of all the AL teams and will have been playing significant games for the last week plus....

It would be awesome if the Yankees played their scrubs and the Rays swept them to knock Boston out of the playoffs.

Yankees' pitching strategy for TB series is to get ready for playoffs. In other words: TB is going to see a whole lot of B- and C-listers.

 

Hopefully they'll both win/lose tomorrow to go down to the very last game, and for a possible single game playoff.

I definitely want the Red Sox to lose tomorrow and the Rays to win. And then for at least the Rays to win the next day.

Completely hypothetical, but how would MLB handle a 3-way tie for the Wild Card?

Best head to head record out of the 3 teams gets a bye if you will while the other 2 teams play a tiebreaker game with the winner playing the 3rd team for the right to go to the playoffs.

If only the Angels didn't play like s*** this past week. Maybe that could have happened this year.
