September 26, 201114 yr http://www.tmz.com/2011/09/26/john-lackey-...offs-wild-card/ 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.
September 26, 201114 yr I'm sure there's plenty we don't know, but that does not look good for Lackey.

September 26, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:58 AM) 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?
September 26, 201114 yr It would be awesome if the Yankees played their scrubs and the Rays swept them to knock Boston out of the playoffs. Buster_ESPN Buster Olney 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.
September 27, 201114 yr Nothing like a 3-run inside the park homer to blow the game open, lol. Tampa potentially 6 outs away from tying up the race.
September 27, 201114 yr 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....
September 27, 201114 yr Andino's Inside the Park 3 run shot pretty much wiped out Ellsbury's from last night. haha
September 27, 201114 yr Red Sox lose. Tie in the AL wild card. Cardinals need to come back on the Astros to tie up the Braves.

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. Edited September 27, 201114 yr by Milkman delivers

September 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) This is the most perfect night of baseball that I can remember in years. No s***. What an unbelievable f***in night!
September 27, 201114 yr I'm hoping for the Cardinals to pull this thing out. Too bad they can't win against the f***ing Astros.
September 27, 201114 yr 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.
