FMJRA 2.0: Miracle on East Capitol Street

— compiled by Wombat-socho

In the long and mostly inglorious history of the Washington Senators in Pete’s continual draft league, there is no team that has defeated us more often than Dom Carden’s Minnesota Twins, now the Kansas City Royals. So it was with some foreboding that our lads awaited the arrival of the Royals at RFK last week, but when the dust had cleared, Marichal and Coleman had notched their 18th and 12th victories, and Dobson had missed his 12th by *that much*. The Curly W flag continued to wave as the Senators went to the Launching Pad and took two of three from the Braves before returning home for another two wins, this time against Pete’s struggling Brewers. It probably would have been a sweep had I not started Jim Kaat in the third game, having forgotten that Pete’s lineup absolutely destroys left-handers. Still: six out of nine wins this week gets us to within 7.5 games of the A’s, and we have a long break before heading to Anaheim for a series against the Angels.
Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam.

Senators win! Senators win!
