Abes vs Babes 23: Lean on Me

Talk about a one man team: last week, Jack Wilson put up staggering stats (0.615 avg, 1.077 slg, and 2 HRs), but still couldn't pull the woeful Abes to victory. This week, Wilson's offense didn't change much (0.500 avg, 1.056 slg, and 3 HRs). But this time he was able to make up for guys like Kelly Johnson (3-for-20) and Dave Bush (9.00 ERA) and will the Abes to a week 23 victory.

Needless to say, Wilson wins the player-of-the-week award. Although the Abes are still getting pounded overall (note of motivation to Brad Penny: beat the Rockies this Wednesday and you'll match the Babes' 17-4 record), if they win one of the last two weeks, they'll actually hit their once-seemingly-unattainable goal of five victories for the season.
