...surprisingly not the Yankees but the Cleveland Indians according to Neilson Co reported Wednesday via the Wall Street Journal. On a scale which ranged from -5 to 5, no teams managed to attain a negative rating and Northern California can boast the most popular teams with Oakland Athletics (4.2) and the San Francisco Giants (4.5).

I mean seriously, what's to HATE about the Astros? They've been in existence for 48 years, been to the playoffs only 9 times in those 48 years, and have won only 3 playoff series in their entire existence.

Indifference? Sure. But what the hell would inspire anyone to DESPISE a historically insignificant team more than the Yankees?

I simply don't buy it. Cleveland? Houston? Cincy? More hated than the Yankees?

COME ON!

From what I gather, the survey takes internet chatter and aggregates it all to get the "number". The thing is, a lot of people love the Yankees and a lot of them are internet fanboys who are more likely to say how they love their team via the WWW. They have a lot of haters also but it does take a certain type of person to flame another person's team on the internet and I'd imagine that all the non-fans don't dislike them enough to be negative.

Then you get to the Indians - they're not popular enough to have a lot of fans and hence very few haters but their dismal record or mediocrity over the last few years is more likely to make their own fans say negative things about them.

The Athletics and Giants fans are probably just smoking a lot of North Californian weed and can't think of a bad thing to say about anything in their blissful state.

A non-fan of the Astros won't feel strongly enough about them to say anything negative about them due to their insignificance. The negativity is coming from their own fans which is understandable, they're arguably the worst run organization in MLB. They dish out big money to old players on long contracts, the farm system is dry (they have no prospects listed in Baseball America's top 40) and that cost the fans $100 million last year.

Philly, Boston and NY I thought would be the most hated, the fans in those cities are obnoxious. And I am proud to one off them.

The thing that sucks in Boston, is that fans who go to the games are all yuppie, pink hate fans. I miss the days of getting shit housed in the bleachers, yelling a bunch of gibberish at the other teams relievers. It all changed with the new ownership, I had a 4 year streak when I was kicked out of atleast 1 game, from 2002-2005, then I stopped going to games.

:clap: Same thing happened to the Flyers when they moved from the Spectrum. Tickets were so expensive, corporate morons bought tickets and would be BS about work while watching a game! Team lost the rowdy home ice advantage they had with the die hard blue collar crowd.
