Poll Results

The latest poll question was part two of the most hated teams in the MWL.  Not surprisingly, the votes for the Western Division teams weren't as strong as those for the Eastern Division rivals. 

Here are the results:

Beloit Snappers 1 (6%)
Burlington Bees 4 (25%)
Cedar Rapids Kernels 2 (12%)
Clinton LumberKings 0 (0%)
Kane County Cougars 4 (25%)
Peoria Chiefs 4 (25%)
Quad Cities River Bandits 0 (0%)
Wisconsin Timber Rattlers 1 (6%)

As you can see, it's a three way tie between Burlington, Kane County, and Peoria.  I'm guessing that Burlington is on the list because they beat the Hawks in the '08 MWL Finals.  The other two teams are from Illinois, and I think that's more just of a state rivalry more than anything else (although Cubs haters might not like Peoria for that reason).

There is no new poll question right now for two reasons:
1)  It's getting closer to Opening Day and I want the countdown to be featured next to each new post
2)  I have no idea what to ask right now

Hated Rivals

The results are in from the latest poll question:  Which Eastern Division rival do you like the least?

And your votes (with the winner in italics)

Bowling Green Hot Rods 0 (0%)
Dayton Dragons 2 (11%)
Fort Wayne TinCaps 3 (17%)
Great Lakes Loons 6 (35%)
Lake County Captains 4 (23%)
Lansing Lugnuts 1 (5%)
West Michigan Whitecaps 1 (5%)

I'm curious as to what the results of this poll would have been two years ago, before the Loons started beating the Silver Hawks regularly.  Hopefully, the Silver Hawks figure out a way to solve the Great Lakes mystery and beat up on the Loons in 2011.

Although I don't think there is as much hate for the Western Division, let's see what you think about them in the new poll question posted on the right side of the page.
