I have zero respect for Red Sox pitcher John Lackey and I'm not the only one. Boston fans have come to hate him since he is an excuse maker and hasn't lived up to his big free-agent contract. Not even close.
He has a reputation as a bad teammate and a selfish guy. OK. Not the end of the world. There are a lot of "me first" guys and bad teammates in baseball. Always has been and always will be.
But where I lost it with Lackey is the fact that he filed for divorce from his wife...his wife who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Holy shit, Lackey, be a man and take care of your wife.
Personally, I believe if you were going to divorce your wife before she got breast cancer, you would do an about face and do everything in your power to help her beat this insidious disease once she was diagnosed. Isn't there something in the wedding vows that say "in sickness and in health"?
How a guy can divorce his wife, a woman he supposedly loved enough to marry, when she gets breast cancer is as low as you can go and decent people cannot understand it. Lackey is lacking common decency. He is a scumbag.
My best to his wife in beating her disease. Then I hope she finds someone who actually cares about her.
