Different week, different rules, same result. The Abes, who have now lost 7 in a row, can take solace in the fact that the 2000 Yankees, 2005 White Sox, and 2006 Cardinals - all World Series Champions - also endured 7 game losing streaks. But a 7 game losing streak embedded in a 162 game season is a lot more tolerable than in a 25 game season.
In anycase, this week's Babes victory was due - literally - to an unlikely and diverse pair of Cruzes. Just-called-up-from-minors outfielder Nelson Cruz slugged 1.286 with 2HR and 5RBI to earn Player of the Week, while little-used middle reliever Juan Cruz picked up a win on only 2.1 IP. Without these two, the Abes actually would have won the week.

He slugged 1.286? Not OPSed?
Nice use of OPS as a verb. But yes - he had 2 HR and a single in 7 AB's.
I've OPSed out of this debate.
Orel, could you please conjugate OPS?
