shovel Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 Per this silly article on Fox Sports. See it here:http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/Are-the-Yankees-baseballs-most-hated-team-042810?GT1=390024th most irrelevant maybe, but most hated? I dont think so. Not even in the NL. Maybe 4th most hated in their division? This article has them more hated than the NY Yankees! I should have been a sportswriter. I can come up with better crap than that!
ForeverADog Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 I heard this on the blitz earlier! Whoever did this must be on drugs!
badndn Posted May 4, 2010 Report Posted May 4, 2010 I think this actually is more the sentiments of each teams own fans than it is what the other teams fans think about them. From the article:"Contrary to popular belief, the Yankees are only the fifth-most despised team in the majors, according to an Internet algorithm built by Nielsen Co. that analyzes how people feel about certain things. [b]This service typically uses various keywords to find out whether people have positive, negative or neutral reactions to different brands and products[/b]."So that being said I would agree. The Houston Astros fan base is not happy and has not been happy the past few years. It seems that a once proud franchise has become the laughing stock and the powers that be could care less. If you check the blogs and media reports it is nothing but negativity!I decided after last night i would not watch again until some personnel changes are made. I think it is time to see some of the young guns. Why do other organizations bring up 20 year old talent, but the Stros feel the need to wait until they are 25. the only reason I can think of is the Arbitration clock! Which fits with Drayton.
