NBC Sports: Yanks fan allegedly runs over, kills Red Sox fan

A 43-year-old Nashua, N.H. woman faces murder charges after a man she’s accused of running down during the weekend died.

Police say the incident followed an argument. They haven’t released details, but witness are saying an argument broke out in Slade’s Food & Spirits after Hernandez said she was a Yankees fan. They said Beaudoin was among a group of people who began chanting at Hernandez.

All right, we’re stepping it up a notch!

I think this is in retaliation for the guy with the Yankees hat who got beat up.

Next, Red Sox fans bomb the nascent new Yankee Stadium with a pre-emptive strike using Molotov cocktails dropped from ultra-lite aircraft.

2. Craig Calcaterra Posted: May 05, 2008 at 01:19 PM (#2769351)

As is the case almost 100% of the time in these things, I'm guessing that their respective rooting interests have little or nothing to do with it.

3. Ray DiPerna Posted: May 05, 2008 at 01:22 PM (#2769355)

I agree, Craig.

4. winnipegwhip Posted: May 05, 2008 at 01:23 PM (#2769362)

ESPN will be doing a three hour feature on this tonight and what it means to the Red Sox - Yankee rivalry.

5. Edmundo(Erstwhile Master of Diagramming Sentences) Posted: May 05, 2008 at 01:27 PM (#2769367)

10 years from now we'll hear about the Philly fan who ran over Santa Claus after an argument in a bar.

6. haplo53 Posted: May 05, 2008 at 01:29 PM (#2769370)

This never would have happened if Chicken Hutch hadn't closed.

7. Padraic Posted: May 05, 2008 at 01:33 PM (#2769378)

As is the case almost 100% of the time in these things, I'm guessing that their respective rooting interests have little or nothing to do with it.

I agree, but if they do, the comment in the post (Andy) and #1 (Kevin) are way out of line. If a man was seriously taunted and then killed because of this I would hope you would apologize for those comments.

Edit - Add #6 to the list. Hello guys, we are talking about an actual death here, not someone being beat up at the Cantab.

8. David Nieporent Posted: May 05, 2008 at 01:37 PM (#2769388)

This is no laughing matter.

Now, if it were the Yankees fan who got killed, it would be.

9. scareduck Posted: May 05, 2008 at 01:47 PM (#2769404)

Hello guys, we are talking about an actual death here, not someone being beat up at the Cantab.

Yeah! And guys, until you stop snarking, the guy will never come back to life, so knock it off!

11. bunyon Posted: May 05, 2008 at 01:51 PM (#2769412)

ESPN will be doing a three hour feature on this tonight and what it means to the Red Sox - Yankee rivalry.

At which point they'll go immediately to either the Red Sox or Yankees game, whichever is still in the fourth inning.

12. B. Selig Posted: May 05, 2008 at 01:56 PM (#2769421)

Old people are also Yankee fans. People who go to farmer's markets are Red Sox fans. Some of them just don't know it yet.

13. Pasta-diving Jeter (jmac66) Posted: May 05, 2008 at 01:58 PM (#2769425)

this would never have happened if the bar had a drinking cap

14. villageidiom Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:01 PM (#2769429)

I wanted to figure out a way to get a "live free or die" comment in here, what with the incident being in NH. But I'm just not feeling it.

15. Rich Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:01 PM (#2769430)

She should have just flashed him instead.

16. bads85 Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:03 PM (#2769432)

Hello guys, we are talking about an actual death here, not someone being beat up at the Cantab.

Death isn't sacred. We don't get points in the afterlife for acting appropriately somber when someone dies, nor is some sort of mystic force going to punish someone for not paying the dead person a proper reserved homage. Besides, it appears the gene pool just received some chlorine -- one less Red Sox fan who can't reproduce and another Yankees' fan locked up past her reproductive years.

17. Hack Wilson Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:05 PM (#2769437)

Maybe Clemens could run over himself.

18. kevin Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:12 PM (#2769448)

From the photograph, she looks like a real honey.

19. andrewberg Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:13 PM (#2769450)

Leave Marvin Harrison out of this.

20. PreBeaneAsFan Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:14 PM (#2769451)

Yeah! And guys, until you stop snarking, the guy will never come back to life, so knock it off!

Post of the Day!

Seriously, I doubt any family or friends of the deceased are reading this so who exactly does it hurt if people are having a little fun? I hope that whenever I finally go I can be of some amusement or use to the rest of humanity.

21. Andy Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:15 PM (#2769456)

"All right, so we're taking it up a notch!"

They wouldn't be reading this if they were Red Sox fans -- they would be too busy noting how the event was a Greek tragedy, just like pulling for their Sox. They'd be wrong on both accounts.

23. jwb Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:51 PM (#2769507)

Greek tragedy? Youkilis is doing fine. Agganis, on the other hand, WAS a Greek tragedy.

24. Lord Enzo Hernandez Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:54 PM (#2769510)

How will this affect his Hall of Fame chances?

25. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Griffin (Vlad) Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:55 PM (#2769511)

If the Boston fan had been driving, the other guy would have slipped right between his wheels.

26. Hello Rusty Kuntz, Goodbye Rusty Cars Posted: May 05, 2008 at 02:57 PM (#2769514)

As a White Sox fan, I once intentionally missed a guy I was supposed to run over.

27. Worrierking Posted: May 05, 2008 at 03:03 PM (#2769520)

A great opportunity for a Yankee fan to slip a Jeter jersey into the guy's grave.

28. T.J. Posted: May 05, 2008 at 03:18 PM (#2769532)

She should have her children taken away.

For living in New Hampshire while being a Yankees fan.

29. Aspiring One-Armed Economist (6 - 4 - 3) Posted: May 05, 2008 at 03:22 PM (#2769538)

Am I the only one who was intrigued by the headline and then felt a little disappointed when reading the first comment, realizing that Kevin wasn't the victim?

30. kevin Posted: May 05, 2008 at 03:49 PM (#2769560)

Youkilis is a Jew, you dumb ############!

31. JPWF13 Posted: May 05, 2008 at 04:05 PM (#2769583)

Youkilis is a Jew, you dumb ############!

... and his family came from Romania...

32. andrewberg Posted: May 05, 2008 at 04:10 PM (#2769591)

making him history's only Romanian Jew to be a Greek god.

33. Wakefieldfan Posted: May 05, 2008 at 04:13 PM (#2769595)

Ok, this is funny.

One-arm: no.

35. Alex Perros Posted: May 05, 2008 at 04:17 PM (#2769599)

Moral of the story: Don't taunt strangers.

Save it for your friends.

Yankee and Sox fans -- ignore this advice, keep on killing each other.

36. Shredder Posted: May 05, 2008 at 04:44 PM (#2769614)

My fondest wish is that were I to pass away and BTF got wind of it (possible due to my somewhat public profile) there would be (at the minimum) a 500 post thread full of tasteless one-liners, sick jokes and twisted macabre humour--the works.

I could think of no finer an epitaph. If anybody complained--just link to this post.

Best Regards

C'mon, if you died, that Fred Schwarz 3000+ post thread would be surpassed in a day. In fact, your demise might be the only thing that will stop that thread.

Nope ... gonna be blown up!

Blow'd up real good.

I'll watch for it on Farm Film Report with Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok.

42. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: May 05, 2008 at 05:57 PM (#2769664)

Coincidence. I just got my haircut today by the girlfriend of the guy who got hit but didn't die. At least, she claimed to be.

43. Shredder Posted: May 05, 2008 at 06:08 PM (#2769674)

It was a guy? Named Maria?

Ivonne Hernandez is accused of killing 29-year-old Matthew Beaudoin, and injuring his friend, 21-year-old Maria Hughes

Go to the live event! How do you expect to get any souvenir entrails?

This news shatters my long-held belief that the Greeks killed Christ. With lightning bolts.

Completely unrelated note: Today is the fifth anniversary of the tina thread.

Where does the time go?

Fill me in - what was the Tina thread?

48. Zach Posted: May 05, 2008 at 06:37 PM (#2769689)

A bizarre non-sequitur is the perfect way to remember the Tina thread.

Link.

49. Sane Joe Bivens, Permanent Guardian Posted: May 05, 2008 at 06:41 PM (#2769690)

2 & 3....??? What do you think the Red Sox fans were chanting at her after they found out she was a Yankees fan? Of course it was about "rooting interests". And fueled by alcohol consumption.

50. A well respected Meat Posted: May 05, 2008 at 06:50 PM (#2769694)

john in my wiki it states that when i finally die due to my own stupidity that i want the thread about it to be full of tasteless jokes

51. A well respected Meat Posted: May 05, 2008 at 07:01 PM (#2769700)

theres a ton of posts missing from the tina thread thats dissipointing

52. B. Selig Posted: May 05, 2008 at 07:10 PM (#2769705)

Today's the anniversary of the beginning of the tina thread. Maybe this thread will show up in late August when tina finds it. I'd like to think that she is still googling Colin Farrell. All I know is that Colin Farrell is a sack of crap who can't act as well as Ben Affleck and is nowhere near as hot.

53. The Most Interesting Man In The World Posted: May 05, 2008 at 07:20 PM (#2769710)

That was awesome. Thanks.

Yeah but BU sucks so it's all good.

56. CFiJ Posted: May 05, 2008 at 08:51 PM (#2769870)

Hey, I was in the tina thread! I never realized.

57. baseballing powerhouse (phredbird) Posted: May 05, 2008 at 09:51 PM (#2770033)

i don't think i was. i was laughing too hard.

58. T.J. Posted: May 05, 2008 at 10:19 PM (#2770111)

kevin youkilis may not look like colin farrell but he sure can cuss

Lame, Yankee fans in taiwan will make my death look like an accident.

I'll write a page of them myself as a tribute to the fine snark of Brattain before he died of living in Toronto.

Caught in some legislative crossfire, no doubt. They so crazy there.

Death isn't sacred. We don't get points in the afterlife for acting appropriately somber when someone dies, nor is some sort of mystic force going to punish someone for not paying the dead person a proper reserved homage.

What? If you do accept some sort of mainstream religion, there certainly are points for how you treat the dead, and if you are an atheist, then there are no points for anything, including murder, rape, or being a Mets fan.

If it's the latter, than your callousness in acting in any way you see fit because of the absence of "points" or "mystical forces" confirms the worst critiques of atheists.

You don't speak well of the dead out of respect for possible family members who might overhear you; you speak well out of respect for yourself.

Thanks but I don't live in Toronto--I live in the boonies of Eastern Ontario. I'll probably die after yelling: "Hey everybody ... watch this!!!"

Atheists will die some day too. You should speak well of them.
