This is the best explanation of Sabermetrics I've ever seen:
The definition of "contending" is based on a complicated formula that I've used for years:
[(BT) + .(3 * sV) + (.03 * ab)] * 6 or 7, idk
In which "BT" stands for Buffalo Trace, "sV" is sweet vermouth, "ab" is bitters, and "idk" is an unknown variable. This formula is a key pillar of what's known as "sabermetrics."
It comes from this article: http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2015/1/14/7 ... lla-graphs, "in which we look for the teams that are built to win now, the teams that are built to win later, the teams that are built for both, and the Phillies."

Great stuff, thanks. I hope this really is the year the Yanks finish below .500
