Before the Red Sox played the Orioles Tuesday night, Red Sox pitcher Erik Bedard was served papers in a child support case. The Massachusetts Probate Court served Bedard the papers at Fenway Park at 3 PM before the game. To make matters worse the papers were served by lifelong Yankees fan, Tom Cabral, on behalf of Bedard's ex-girlfriend Courtney Roberts. The Red Sox/ Yankees rivalry dates back to the early 1900's when the Red Sox traded their then star, Babe Ruth, to the Yankees organization. The Red Sox organization was very cooperative with Cabral serving the papers the day Bedard started because that was the day Bedard's ex-girlfriend wanted the papers served. Right off the bat Cabral told Bedard he was a Yankee fan and did not want to start a problem and had to due this. Bedard shrugged it off and signed the papers. This was one of the final headaches for the Red Sox seeing the organization is 5-15 in September with Tampa Bay gaining the Red Sox in the AL Wild Card Race. Hopefully the "Bo Sox" can pull it together.
