All tag results for 'boston red sox'

Last week, two monsters planted bombs at the Boston Marathon which resulted in three deaths and over 260 injured.

But with all the DRAMz going on behind this horrific event, Nike pulled their 'Boston Massacre' T-shirts from stores because the tops no longer have the same meaning.

Despite all of the horror and tragedy the city of Boston has endured this week, its people have continued to show their incredible resolve, unity and perseverance throughout it all!

Friday's terrifying, extended manhunt for marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ultimately forced the Red Sox's game against the Kansas City Royals to be postponed until last night, when both teams banded together with the spectators to collectively pay tribute to all of the brave first responders who risked their lives to help the victims, as well as all those affected by the senseless acts of violence.

What no one was expecting, however, was Neil Diamond to hop an impromptu flight from El Lay to Boston with the specific intention of appearing at the game to perform his classic Sweet Caroline, which Boston fans are known to belt out during the seventh inning stretch!

And right before the eighth inning, that's exactly what the iconic singer did!

Ch-ch-check it out for yourself (above)!

Shame on this guy!

Former El Lay dodger Manny Ramirez has been officially charged with misdemeanor domestic violence and battery after allegedly abusing his wife in his Florida home.

He reportedly slapped her in the face, which then caused her to fall back and hit her head.

Ugh! Such disgusting behavior!

This guy clearly needs some anger management.

This is just cold!

Boston Red Sox pitcher John Lackey has filed for divorce from his wife, Krista, who is in the middle of a breast cancer battle!

She had a double mastectomy back in March and underwent chemotherapy treatment as recently as June, but that didn't stop John from filing divorce papers in Texas on August 30th.

Documents reveal he is claiming "the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities."

Copying the likes of famous splits like Tony Parker and Eva Longoria or Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, he filed the divorce papers using only his and Krista's initials.

The maneuver did not fool the fearless media who even asked him about it after Sunday night's game against the New York Yankees. Despite snagging a win after a good performance on the field, he snapped at the press, saying:

"Let me tell you the truth. Thirty minutes before the game I got a text message on my cell phone from one of you, somebody in the media, talking about personal stuff. I shouldn't even have to be standing up here dealing with it. I'm sitting here, listening to music. I don't know who got my phone number, but that's over the line."

We don't know what's really going on behind that the scenes in this guy's marriage, so we can't condemn him for his decision. However, filing for divorce from your partner while they are battling a life threatening illness is AWFUL timing.

Our hearts go out to Krista and wish her the best as she continues her fight against cancer. We hope John remains supportive, despite his decision to end their marriage.

Bummer!

A sprained thumb may prevent Alex Rodriguez from playing in the last regular season series at Yankee home turf this week against their rivals, the Boston Red Sox.

He received a cortisone shot in his injured left thumb on Monday, but doctors have told the the third baseman he can't swing the bat.

A-Rod has only played 4 games since July 7 because of injuries, but it sounds like NOT playing will hurt even more then his thumb would if he did play, as he explained:

"The one thing is, it’s so frustrating to come here, it’s the last time we come here for the regular season. It hurts like hell just to sit on the sidelines watching.”

The trainers believe his thumb will heal in a few days time with proper rest. We say sit out and rest up for the playoffs!
