FMJRA 2.0: The Hits Just Keep On Coming

— compiled by Wombat-socho It was another good week to be a Senators fan. We took two out of three from the Red Sox at RFK and then did the same to the O’s, so that we ended the week 4-2 and tied with Pete’s Brewers for third at 21-27, five games behind the division-leading […]

FMJRA 2.0: Another Winning Week

— compiled by Wombat-socho It was a good week to be a Senators fan. First we swept the A’s (again), this time at Oakland; then we went to Cleveland and lost two out of three, but Game 1 was close until Roger Nelson blew the save, and Game Three wasn’t even close: we pounded Steve […]

FMJRA 2.0: Finally, A Winning Week

— compiled by Wombat-socho After weeks of getting beaten like the family mule, the Senators struck back with a sweep of the A’s plus two wins against the Twins. A lot of the credit goes to the bullpen, with Charlie Hough going three innings in Game 2 for the win against the A’s, and both […]

FMJRA 2.0: Curse of the Gopherball

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another miserable week of Senators baseball…we won only one game out of three against the Cubs at RFK because Charlie Hough gave up two homers in the 9th and 10th to blow the save and the game for Steve Renko in Game 1, and then the hitters just couldn’t get more […]

FMJRA 2.0: In Like A Lion

— compiled by Wombat-socho At the risk of tempting the Arch-Demon Murphy, it could be worse. Yes, we went 1-4 this week, getting just one win off the Phillies before dropping a two-game series to the Orioles, but at least we’re not in the American League cellar, since we’re one game ahead of the A’s. […]

FMJRA 2.0: The Beatings Will Continue

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, that closes out the appalling month of April. Once again the Polo Grounds were a pit of despair as the Yankees beat us like a rented mule in three straight games, and then we came home to RFK and lost two out of three to the Reds. Hopefully May will […]

FMJRA 2.0: Another Fine Mess

— compiled by Wombat-socho What a wretched week to be a Senators fan. First we got swept by the Giants – and none of those games were close except Game 1, in which Nolan Ryan outdueled Jim Kaat – and then we lost the home opener against the Angels’ Frank Tanana. Game Two was tight […]

FMJRA 2.0: Breaking Even On The Road

— compiled by Wombat-socho We lost two of three at Kansas City’s Municipal Stadium but came back in the frozen wasteland of Milwaukee County Stadium to win two out of three, the final game being decided by a six-run explosion in the 13th inning to give Charlie Hough his first win in relief. Hopefully I’ll […]
