When it comes to hate, we're out in the grapefruit league. The Bravos are a no show on the "Top Ten List of the Most Despised Teams in Baseball" as rated by the Nielsen Company.
As detailed In Wednesday's Wall Street Journal (Subscription required), Nielsen uses an algorithm and "various keywords to find out whether people have positive, negative or neutral reactions to different brands and products." The most hated team in baseball is.... wait for it ...
The Cleveland Indians.
In order, here is the line up:
- Cleveland Indians
- Boston Red Sox
- Cincinnati Reds
- Houston Astros
- New York Yankees
- Washington Nationals
- Chicago White Sox
- Baltimore Orioles
- New York Mets
- Los Angeles Dodgers
Does this mean that when we think our trolls are being quiet that they are feasting on the Braves of a Different Tribe - Cleveland? A tip of the hat to Umpbump.com for the link.
