As the saying goes, it's worse to be unlucky than suck. Unfortunately, the Abes are both. They suck thanks to guys like Kelly Johnson (0.143 with 1 RBI for the week) and Joe Kennedy (6 ER in 0.1 IP for a 162.00 ERA - that's no typo). And they're unlucky because such performances came in a week when the Babes had a mediocre offense, no wins, and a 7.30 ERA. In other words, a very winnable week. But in the end, shockingly, the Abes lost again. The only surprise was that Carl Crawford didn't win the Player of the Week award - the honor goes to Freddy Sanchez (0.294, 8 runs, 6 RBI).
But anything can happen. And despite recent (well, year-long) trends and convention wisdom, the Abes will win a week before the end of the season. That's a guarantee.

A guarantee? Sounds kind of ominous.
If I fudge the stats, who would know?
The AvB Commissioner, that's who!
Oh wait—that's you.
