Not to get too far off-topic, but I think the MVP chants in Boston were, by omission, not so much in favor of Kobe as in oppostion to Lebron. As to Texeira, what loyalty or obligation did he owe to Baltimore? Other than being associated with the state of Maryland due to teh actions and decisions of his parents, he has no connection with that team. Maybe everyone from Wisconsin should boo Jordan Zimmerman when he makes his first start against Milwaukee for the Nationals.
