According to an Internet algorithm developed by Nielsen Co. that "measures positive and negative reactions on the Internet", the Yankees are the fifth-most hated team in baseball.
Cleveland, the Red Sox, the Reds and the Astros are allegedly more despised than the MFY.
(It may make some sense, however: "The company's computers counted the number of times that a particular team was connected to both positive words like "love" and negative words like "hate." ... So the end result actually works if you consider that the Indians were a 65-win team in 2009 ... Heck, Indians message boards probably sealed the top spot over just a few weeks last summer with their understandably negative reactions to the trades of Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez.")

Would "I'd love for the Yankees to fall off the edge of the earth!" be considered a positive statement?
