ERA is an acronym for "earned run average." It's a measure of how many runs a pitcher would theoretically allow if he pitched a full nine inning game. Only runs given up as a result of the pitcher's actions count as "earned." For example, if there are two outs, and a fielder makes a throwing error, allowing a run to score, that run would be unearned. However, if the pitcher made the error, the runs would count against his ERA.
