Alcohol never leads to anything good!

Yankees' top minor-league prospect Mason Williams was arrested early this morning for driving under the influence in Tampa, and we're really saddened that an all-star would make such a mistake.

Williams was pulled over at 2:45 a.m. after police saw his Range Rover "weaving in the lane" and going between 50 to 53 mph in a 40 mph zone.

Once the 21-year-old showed "clues of impairment" a DUI traffic stop was conducted, and Mason had to perform a series of field sobriety exercises.

After the athlete failed the tests, cops noticed "additional clues of impairment," and he was arrested.

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.

Alex Rodriguez has already gone through one hip surgery, and as he prepares for his SECOND medical procedure, he expressed that he "can't wait to be back."

A-Rod's surgery is scheduled for January, but he has no worries about being wiped out of the 2013 season.

Guess this is one Yankee that won't let one little injury get on his bad side. You go boy! LOLz

Regardless of the possible options he had with his recently-signed contract, we think it's safe to say that Derek Jeter is officially done with the Yankees!

At least for the next three months!

The shortstop, who

Say it ain't so, Jetes!

Derek Jeter has signed a contract with the New York Yankees through the 2013 season AND he has an $8 million player option for 2014…but that may not be enough to keep him with the Yanks!

During a recent interview with ESPN's Rick Reilly, Derek was asked if he could envision himself in another uniform, to which he replied the following (brace URselves, Yankee fans):

The Yankees have the highest payroll in Major League Baseball, but co-owner Hal Steinbrenner wants to start shaving down in order to meet the new threshold for the luxury tax as stated in the league's most recent collective bargaining agreement.

Currently, the team's payroll is $210 million (holy smokes!) thanks to buying up talented free agents like Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and CC Sabathia. Starting in 2014, teams with payrolls exceeding $189 million (instead of the current $179 million) will have to pay

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.
