Alan Schwarz of the New York Times has a story about sabermetric stats. None of them are unfamiliar to people who frequent this blog.
But what gets me is that the New York Times insists on spelling it as "O.P.S." There is also a stat called "G.P.A." (gross production average).
This goes along with "Struggling L.S.U. Upsets No. 3 Florida", yet "Marist Outlasts Siena to Clinch MAAC". Of course the MAAC champion will get a spot in the "N.C.A.A. Tournament."
