It turns out that the Chicago White Sox are not the most hated team in professional baseball. In fact, they're not even in the top 5.
Of course, if Neilson had broken out ducks as a voter category, the White Sox would have lost among them easily.
You know what news I could use? Weather forecasting like they got at Academy City, which predicts when rain starts and stops to the second. I wanted to go to the store today, and I looked outside and it was bright sunlight. But there were some nasty black clouds off in the distance, so I decided to wait.
Good thing, too. Ten minutes later it was pouring down hail.

And the Astros as #4? C'mon now... who really cares enough about the Astros to conjure up hatred for them? That's like hating lima beans. I can understand not liking them, sure, but hating?

I think they're balancing the number of people who love the team against those who hate it. That's why the Yankees aren't the most-hated team; they've got a lot of loyal fans.
WRT the Astros, I suspect the point is that there aren't many who love them.
Even having said that, I can't figure out why the Dodgers are on that list. Who hates the Dodgers?

Giants fans, Padres fans, fans of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, New Yorkers, and after 2008, Cubs fans. Just to name a few, of course.

"It says in the article no team received a negative score."
Yeah, and the scores for the top ten teams were between .9 and 2.4 or so, on a -5 to 5 scale.
