JP's goal this year:

>> What seems to be forgotten is Tosca's 15 wins per month -- 90 games was
>>the gola he set.

Actually, Tosca was setting 15 wins a month as a monthly goal, not a
season goal iirc. That, winning or getting a split of every series, 4
wins each week, etc. Namely as a target for the players to shoot for
regularly which, if always met, would guarantee an amazing season.
Much like telling someone to try to go 1 for 3 each game rather than
telling them to try for a 333 average.

I follow similar goals when driving somewhere or doing something. For
example, I want to reach a certain point at the end of each hour while
driving. IF I always reach the goal then I'll be at my endpoint far
quicker than I hoped for originally. I won't always reach the goal
(traffic, weather, etc.) but having it allows for little successes
while still shooting for the overall goal.
