Well, almost everyone. These owners obviously didn't put a moment of thought into the team they lived and died with all summer. And in most cases, their place in the standings reflected that.
10. Chicago Knights (2004, finished 4th): Boring. Lacking creativity. Lame. Trying too hard.
9. Bumpin' Utley's (2009-10, finished 1st and 16th): The Utley's actually won the league in their first year with this name. Just a little too weird.8. Homos (2007, finished 20th): No thought, and strangely insulting. Even though his team was called the Homos, he failed to roster Scott Brosius or Bernie Williams.
7. PK Yankees (2005-06, finished 13th and 14th): Broke first rule about NOT naming your fantasy team after a real MLB team. Awful.
6. Dung Stove Dal-Bhat (2010, finished 7th): Creative, but only meaningful to the owner. The rest of the league is left in the dark. Are we supposed to be impressed by this over-the-top name?5(tie). Red Sox Nation (2008, finished 12th): Simply took a term already widely used in sports and made it his own. We all know you love the Red Sox now, fantastic. Too bad this is about your fantasy team.
5(tie). Bronx Bombers (2007, finished 16th): Now we all know you're a Yankees fan. That makes it easier for us to shit talk you. You must be very proud of yourself. Enjoy your $14 beer and terrible radio announcers.
4. Mariners GM (2009-present, finished 10th and 12th): Lacking creativity. Dull. Maybe the GM stands for Grandma.
3. ClemensDieNow.com (2007, finished 7th) or ClemensRetireNow.com (2008, finished 5th): Ah, the dreaded .com team name. We all hated Clemens but couldn't we find a more creative way to say it? It wasn't even a real .com!2. The Titanium Sporks (2010, finished 20th): Corny. Trying too hard. Sounds like something that belongs in minor league baseball, not in the prestigeous PicketLine Fantasy League.
1. Dickie Thons (2007-present, 4th, 16th, 16th, 5th): Worst team name five years running. It's unfortunate because prior to the Dickie Thons incarnation, Bjorkman had three consecutive good team names (Chet Lemon Inc, Ben Oglivie all-stars, Who is Karim Garcia?), including one of which will make Wednesday's Top 10 Best list.Congrats Bjorkman, #1 worst PLPFBL team name all time!
Is there anyone I'm forgetting? Let us know in the comments. Don't hold back!
