MLB: Most hated MLB team?
- Thread starter jj-cyclones
- Start date
Haha I am just giving you a hard time. The Cubs used to be my second favorite team until I went to college in Illinois. Everyone on my team was a Cubs fan and they all lived in a dream world. I couldn't believe the arrogance they had, especially coming from a team who hasn't won in over a 100 years

I used to really like the Royals. I loved the way that they built than franchise, and their success gave me someone to cheer for that had a chance to win.
HHMMM, let's check other teams in baseball, the Yankees just happen to have the most media surrounding them, so naturally nothing is kept under wraps. Giambi, Clemens, and A-Rod all were on steroids before they came to the Yankees, so maybe we should blame other teams as well!!!!

I'd like to pretend that the Cubs managed to be steroid-free, but there's no way that's even possible. That's sad.:no:
The Marlins aren't as bad as you think, going back to 2003, they've only had 2 losing seasons, alot of teams would give their right arm for the overall success that Florida has had.
2008: 84-77; 7.5 games out
2007: 71-91; 20 games out
2006: 78-84; 19 games out
2005: 83-79; 7 games out
2004: 83-79; 13 games out
2003: 91-71; 10 games out
IMO, what hurts the Marlins and their image nationwide is their fan base or lack there of. My God, did you see the Opening Day highlights from Dolphin Stadium?

Houston's attendance was also pretty bad last night. I was stunned to see a lot of people that looked just like empty seats.
Touche.
I don't think the fans ever came back from the first fire-sale.
To paraphrase a thread from yesterday, "Why are my inconsistent points being picked on?":wink:
Good point. They've done a really nice job developing talent. I would really like to see what would happen if they kept a team together for the long haul. Then again, I don't know if they can afford to do that with the horrible attendance that they have.
LOL. Of course the weather in South Florida isn't the best for baseball when it rains nearly every day. Ground was just broken for the new Marlins park, not sure if it will have a retractable roof or not. One would think a retractable roof would be a must if the Marlins want to grow their fanbase.
If you're referring to the White Sox its because the "he gone" crap is the most annoying thing I've ever heard!
I'd argue greedy players are ruining baseball. The Yankees are willing to pay them. No one else is.
Ding ding ding!
+1 to the annonuncers, they suck.
And yes the Yankees are the worst ever, close and lock thread.
It all stems back to them. They're horrible and I can't wait until they choke after blowing half a billion.
I wouldn't say it would be the biggest failure. People fail to realize that their payroll went down by over 10 million since the start of last season.
How are they ruining baseball? Attendance is up. Since 2000 only 1 team has won multiple world series titles and it wasn't the yankees.
Yankee haters should be encouraging the spending sprees because it hasn't helped the Yanks win a title.
