People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. – Rogers Hornsby

Well, it’s all over for this year. My Senators finished 61-101, nine games worse than the historical team, but then Ted’s boys didn’t have to cope with the Giants, Reds and Pirates. We were 2-20 against those National League squads, and I think we would have fared better if we’d only had to play the American League teams. None of my starters had a winning record; Jim Kaat came closest at 11-13, while in the bullpen Jim Bouton was 6-1-1 and Moe Drabowsky 5-8-21 with ten blown saves. As for my hitters, acquiring Steve Garvey and Willie Mays in trades helped a little, but in the end we only scored 582 runs while allowing 836, and you can’t win ballgames like that. I guess I can console myself that I wasn’t the worst team in the league – Montreal finished 57-102.
Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam.

Our long national nightmare is over…until spring ’71.
