I read this little tomette and thoroughly enjoyed its content, despite the somewhat disjointed manner in which it was written.The in depth knowledge of the inner workings of Yankeedom displayed, cut far deeper than the typical mudslinging rot engaged in by Yankee -haters.There is no way that a Yankee hater would be up to snuff on the Ed Whitson Phantom Gastroenteritis due to his Yankee stadium phobia, or the homophobic attack against the dugout assistant by Mariano Rivera et al, which were almost invisible in the main stream media.Only a a yankee fan would be so embarrassed and outraged by Mariano`s, all too human foibles and dumbstruck by the Whitson meltdown, as I surely will never forget!No, folks,you all missed it!This author wrote this as a paragon for the Yankee hater, but from the perspective of a Yankee fan, clearly with some glossal mucosa wedged in cheek!Now, go back and re-read this, knowing that the author is a yankee fan and then review the book.You`ll be amazed how much more intelligent of a read it makes when you pursue it without the reflex revenge of your own pro-yankeee prejudice.In other words, many of you hated the book, simply because you assumed the author was a yankee hater.How foolish of you and how perceptive of me!

I wonder how many more reviews will appear here from Yankee fans condemning this book. It may not be the best book in the world but Yankee fans take their team a little too seriously. You all need to develop a sense of humor when it come to you precious Bronx Bombers.

"Yankees Suck" is a quick read that requires no brain power, and unfortunately very little brain power was used by the author either. The text is rambling and disorganized, and instead of any kind of summation, the book simply winds down to nothing. If you're a die-hard Red Sox fan you might find this book mildly amusing.

If you want to read a more intelligent take on this increasingly popular topic, take look at "Why I Hate the Yankees" by O'Connell and Pahigian. These guys, who also wrote "The Ultimate Baseball Roadtrip," are much more insightful and infinitely funnier.

It is too disorganized to keep your attention for very long. But that doesn't matter. You can read this very quickly with half your brain. Steinbrenner is a felon. Aside from that he is a greedy grasping swine with very little knowledge of baseball. He's just better at it (& rich). Very little in this book that will make a Yankee hater feel better.
However, every year that the Yankees don't win the World Series is good for baseball. When the playoffs, pennant & the World Series are not brought (See the Mets this year) or won by the teams with the highest payrolls, that is good for baseball. Go parity! I paid $0.01 (plus S&H) for my copy. That's about right.

The book is an absolute a piece of trash. Red Sux fan or not. The Fact is The New York Yankees are the most storied franchise in sports history and everyone needs to stop whining about how much they hate the Yankees and worry about their own team. The book shows No valid points and I would never recommend it to anyone. My cousin says it sucked and he is a boston fan. If you're going to have an opinion about the greatest franchise of all time then at least let it be an intelligent one.

When I first received this book for review I was looking for something clever and witty that would have some comedic value. Well I couldn't say anything good about it. It is a boring attempt by a jealous fans to put down the Yankees in a way that is used by the kids in the playground. It is as immature as chanting Yankees Suck at a ballgame.
If you like Beavis and Butthead this may be the book for you. No matter what fan you are wait, it will end up on the used list dirt cheap. It is not worth the paper it is printed on.
