Boston Red Sox Pitcher Served Papers in Child Support Case Before Game
BOSTON – Hours before taking the mound for the reeling Red Sox against the Orioles Tuesday night at Fenway Park, pitcher Erik Bedard was served with papers in a child support case, The Post has learned.
Bedard was served with papers from Massachusetts Probate and Family Court at Fenway Park at 3 p.m. Tuesday. The papers were served by lifelong Yankees fan Tom Cabral, who was acting on behalf of Bedard’s ex-girlfriend Courtney Roberts.
“The Red Sox were very cooperative,” Cabral told The Post. “They asked me if I could serve these tomorrow because he was starting tonight. My position was, my client wants it served today, and that’s what I have to do.”
Cabral didn’t bother to hide the fact he is a Yankees fan. In fact, he proudly wore a Yankees shirt while he served Bedard the papers.
“When I walked in I was like, I’m a Yankees fan, but I’m not trying to (give you a hard time),” Cabral said. “I told him that and said, sorry, I’ve got to do this. But he said it was no problem. I handed him the copies of all the documents and he signed them.
“(The Red Sox) legal department was joking with me about it … they were saying, ‘That’s why you’re so adamant about doing it today … you’re a Yankees fan.’"
I'm a Yankee fan, and when I saw the headline I was pumped that something shitty happened to the Red Sox. I was a little pissed when I found out that it was Bedard and not Beckett or Lester, but it was better than nothing. I thought it was awesome that Bedard's x went out of her way to hire a Yankee fan to make it hurt a little worse. But then, something crazy happened.
My hatred for assholes overcame my love of the Yankees. This douchebag puts on a Yankees shirt to walk into Fenway to serve him, on, coincidentally, the 1 out of 5 days where he actually has to do something. Not even that, but then he says something along the lines of, "I'm not trying to give you a hard time." Really asshole? You're trying to make this as painless as possible for the guy, which is why you went out of your way to do this on game day, while wearing a shirt that might as well say, 'Fuck You!" If you're going to do the worlds scummiest job, at least don't be the biggest cockroach in the shitheap.
Also, the closing line about how he was just hangin out with the Red Sox legal team having an awesome time is clearly the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. I'm sure the Red Sox staff was just giddy about having their starter mentally devastated 3 hours before first pitch when they're up by two games in the wildcard. I think that just sounded better in the article than, "The entire time everyone was calling me the worlds biggest piece of shit with no sense of guy code or respect for the game of baseball. Bedard called me a cuckhold and threw the contract on the floor, and then two security guards escorted me back to my Buick."
P.S. How big of a bitch is Bedard's baby mamma to hire this guy as her lawyer. See picture below.
She's the second on in from the left (I think.. not legally responsible if it isn't). Kinda looks like psycho.
