They say that in baseball, everybody wins a third of their games, everybody loses a third of their games, and it's what happens in that other third the determines whether you're a good or a bad team. Other than a few exceptions like the 62 Mets and the 03 Tigers on the low end, and the 98 Yankees and the 01 Mariners on the high end, this old saying tends to hold true every year for every team.
This is different than other sports, because baseball has nights like the Rockies had Thursday evening.
