The One Race We Are Built To Win

With only 44 games to play, the Yankees are poised to capture the coveted crown for Team .500 Or Over With The Worst Negative Run Differential.

TEAMS .500 OR OVER WITH NEGATIVE RUN DIFFERENTIAL LEADER BOARD

                                  NY Yankees         61-57         .517          -33 

                                  St. Louis               62-55         .530           -8 

                                  Atlanta                  60-58         .508           -1


There are, however, a few contenders to keep an eye on. Especially Miami, which is perilously close to .500 and sporting a NRD that beats us by a whisker.

                                  Cleveland            59-59          .500           +9 

                                  Miami                  58-60           .492          -34 

                                  NY Mets              57-62           .479          +2


In the midst of what promises to be a season of burgeoning mediocrity, this one could go down to the wire. So let's not count our chickens before they've hatched.

For the moment, though...WE'RE NUMBER 1!  WE'RE NUMBER 1!  WE'RE NUMBER 1!


Yeah, baby!
