Yankees best run differential in MLB... by FAR

Just because sports folks enjoy massacring language and mathematics does not make it proper to do so. That Google brings up certain results does not mean that it's a run differential and not a difference. There is a difference here - it's just basic math. I, for one, will neither drink the kool-aid nor utter the word differential when in matter of fact it's a simple difference that is at hand.

The dictionary folks at Merriam-Webster don't agree; definition 2 of "differential" as a noun is:

2: a difference between comparable individuals or classes <a price differential>; also : the amount of such a difference

For all the smack talk about how the Yankees lost out to Boston and Philly in the offseason, no deadline moves, old team, etc. etc. etc. only bad luck has prevented the Yanks from having the best record in baseball (which they're not far off of in any case).

So, folks, how do ya like them (big) apples?

Let the jealousy begin.
