The Roster:
These are the players who have contributed their writing, design, wit, humor and passion to the YankeesSuck.com community. Become one of our contributors and well add you to the lineup.
# 1 Lefty Our founder and GM. Seeks a world where the game is less about arrogance, money and big business and more about, well, THE GAME.
# 2 Boog'sBBQ Boog'sBBQ is a lifelong Orioles fan who remembers when the Yankees sucked so badly he took pity on them. Boog lives in Buenos Aires with his wife, 12 clones and six capuchin monkeys, who, coincidentally, hate the Yankees as much as he does.
# 3 Bambino Although full of a voluminous amount of fresh air, he uses it rarely to enlighten us on the finer points of Yankee hating.
# 4 SuckyDent An artistic master and comic genius with Super Hero powers.
#5 Rshellman Loyalty to God, Country, Family, Mets.
#6 FrankMalzone Silent, but deadly. Nothing gets by this player.
# 7 ThrowsLikeAGirl Native New Yorker with a softspot for old-timer Yankees like Yogi & Scooter. Lives on the fringes of Red Sox nation.
# 8 fuzzmartin Fuzz Martin, host of "Your Ride Home with Fuzz Martin" afternoons on Pure Country 92.5, Milwaukee, WI. Congrats to Fuzz and his wife on the birth of beautiful Brianna Nicole
on July 27th!
#9 Alex Sherman A conventional Bostonian with an unconventional baseball perspective.
#10 Joe Davis Son of a Kansas City Royals fan, this man grew up hating the Yankees. Molded into a Red Sox fan with a passion for the game, Joe likes to write about when the Yankees fail miserably.
#11 Trav Flatt Trav Flatt was born poor and naked in Dallas, Texas. He has been a starving musician, a starving martial arts instructor, a starving government employee, a starving portrait artist, and now a starving freelance writer. He has, however, clothed himself (Usually).
#12 Doug Farrar A baseball fan since he saw the Reds sweep the Yankees in the 1976 World Series as a wee brat. He has been writing about sports since the Yankees had a payroll under $100 million. When he's not sticking pins in his Paul O'Neill voodoo doll, Doug also writes for Seahawks.NET. A Seattle resident, Doug is a passionate Mariners fan, which would explain his recent unpredictable bursts of profanity.
#13 Mr. Opposite A born an bred Australian and an avid Astros fan, Mr Opposite represents the underrated. And don't expect him to talk about the Red Sox or Yankees.
#14 Steve Marsi Native of Upstate New York (the good part of the state), and a resident of Boston for three years. The son of a disaffected Yankees fan, and a rabid supporter of all things Red Sox. Currently in first place in a Yahoo! fantasy baseball league, and batting .521 in slow-pitch softball.
#15 John Hatcher Native New Englander and diehard New England sports fan. Has followed baseball and the Sox for over twenty years. Believes Moneyball is the root of all evil. Always willing to join in a chant of "Yankees suck" at any event or function.
#16 Ian Haan A self-described "HUGE" Red Sox fan from the Boston hinterlands, Ian reads, writes, watches and plays sports. Oh yeah, and he likes cars, too.
#17 Mo Spokesman of the Evil Empire was born in Queens, NY and hates the Mets, "Sux", Diamondbacks and the Marlins. Raised just North of his Cathedral of Baseball: Yankee Stadium, Mo briefly lived in Providence where he acquired a disturbing New England/Bronx accent - making him a social outcast. Now back in NY, Mo lives to torment "Sux" fans and to defend his diabolical hometown heroes.
#18 Derek Bunker will not stop his Yankee-hating until the Blue Jays win 25 more World Series. He's been a Jays fan since he was six and found a Blue Jays sticker (which I still carry in my wallet). He's one of the few representatives of "that ol' Canadian team."
#19 Cromwell Sox Fan A lifelong Red Sox fan whose purpose is to set Yankee fans straight: The Yankees always winning is NOT good for baseball. "CSF" wants fans everywhere to know that the baseball playoffs will soon become the annual "Yankee Invitational" unless the Evil Empire is quickly and soundly overthrown.
