Just a thought

[dww879]

I've actually been contemplating coming on here for quite a while to discuss this topic. As white sox fans know Hawk tends to discuss the same things frequently in his broadcast. Whether it be the great Carl Yastrmski, the increased number of shattering bats, or explaining that Joe Crede will have an MVP award before its all said and done, Hawk does tend to be very repetitive in his broadcasts. One of his most repeated ideas that I call the "every team is going to win sixty and lose sixty, it's the other 42 which matter" philosophy has consistently baffled me. Yes it makes sense to me that teams dont tend to be worse than 60-102 or better than 102-60 but still what is the significance behind this. He almost sounds like he is saying essentially that only 42 games count. However we all know that makes zero sense. Is there any meaning to this theory or am I simply overanalyzing? Just a thought to pass the time before our season will be decided for the good or bad.

I think what he means is there is 42 games that are going to be close, and team that wants them more should win.

 

60 will be won, 60 will be lost.

I think that's what he means too. It's normal for him to talk about this during a game we end up losing by one while failing to capitalize on mistakes by the opponent and/or failing multiple times at getting a man home from third with less than two outs.
