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

I know we know next to nothing in details. However, I find it the most disturbing thing to try and have any respect for anyone walking away from a dying spouse or someone who is in dire need of support facing cancer or something like it.
Lackey was all pissed off last night when Francona took him out.
He looks like a real nasty guy.
Pat Robertson told him it was OK.
For all you judgmental types, perhaps she’s the one who wants no more of him.
You don’t know the dynamics of the situation.
Headlines can’t tell the whole story.
John Edwards is still the ultimate slime ball.
(thank you)
For what he said opens the door for people to justify divorce for just about any reason. When something happens to your spouse, as in this case, you can justify divorce because your spouse is not normal anymore, like it was when you married them. They have a defect! John Lackey is worse than scum.
Actually, if he is incapable of providing the support needed...better he leaves.
She’s already had a double mastectomy and is undergoing Chemo, perhaps her prognosis is good enough at this point. Maybe I missed something in the article that says she’s on death’s door?
“Pat Robertson told him it was OK”
Where is that printed? I didn’t see it in the initial article... did PR actually tell this guy that divorcing a spouse with cancer is okay?!
The poster forgot the /s (sarcasm) tag. But as I pointed out in a later post, PR statement opens the door for crazy stuff like this to happen.
