Yankees fan kills Red Sox fan

alaskaguy · 05-06-2008, 10:15 AM

A woman accused of running down a man in her car after a Red Sox-Yankees argument in a bar never hit her brakes as she accelerated toward the small group he was in, a prosecutor said Monday.

"She never braked, and she accelerated at a high speed for about 200 feet. She went directly at this group of people," prosecutor Susan Morrell said of Ivonne Hernandez, who is charged with reckless second-degree murder in the death early Friday of Matthew Beaudoin, 29.

I'm sick of both Yankees and Red Sox fans. And ESPNs bias towards them.

Agreed. I have equal dislike for them both. And it is enough for me to usually stay away from SportsCenter.

As a Red Sox fan I would like to remind you that we won the World Series last year. So hate all you want.

The Yankees and Red sox should win they buy all the players they need

You know, of the Red Sox/Yankee fans from the Northeast that I personally know, it only surprises me that this is news.

I can completely see them killing each other, as deep as the hatred runs between them. They're nuts!

As a Cubs fan I am tired of the coverage of both. Where's the coverage of the Cubs and our one hundred years of not winning the world series-that takes dedication...

I'm not tired of the yankees and red sox baseball teams. I'm sick of their fans.

BTW, the Red Sox have officially won the same number of World Series in the last fifteen years as the Florida Marlins.

"You hit that guy."

"He shouldn't have been standing there."

I was going to modify this quote but I'm not really sure what I was going to replace it with would be compliant with site rules, so suffice it to say that it was going to suggest several different ways of removing both groups of fans from the earth.

Not that I have much againts the Red Sox, I just hate the Yankees. And I wouldn't want to listen to Red Sox fans after the Yanks were gone... because it'd be as if the Yankees never left

As a Blue Jays fan, I hate the Yankees and Sox as much as the next guy and yet I still hate this excuse. Look at any of the Yankees Championships, did they buy those players? no they were all brought up through the system. The key players on the Sox have also not really been bought, they have basically bought J.D. Drew and Julio Lugo, hardly the reason they win. As for the rest of the players they have been brought up through the system or have been traded for when they were not as good as they are now, minus Man Ram, but every team needs to get one good free agent.

As far as I'm concerned Red Sox fans are turning into yankee fans. I used to actually like them because they were so committed to their team no matter what. But now they are the most arrogant people you will ever meet. Add in all the sporting success of all the other boston teams and you have the cockiest fans in history.

Very good point. Red Sox have a fair amount of players that were not superstars before playing well for them, Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, and Jason Varitek to name some. They have also got players who were proven from other teams, Manny, Josh Beckett, and Mike Lowell. I would think that they are similar to most teams (except teams like KC, Marlins, Expos of old seem to only trade away good players and not get them)

The Marlins have done very well at getting good players in return, in fact, I'm still not sure how they keep doing it... The Royals have been absolutely brutal with their trades and drafts untill late and I don't know what Minaya was trying to accomplish when he ran the Expos, trading away young talent like Grady Sizemore for middle of the road middle aged talent...
