FMJRA 2.0: O’s, Yeah!

Before I get into This Week With The Senators, I’d like to direct your attention to The eponymous widget in the sidebar where we recognize fellow bloggers who link us on the regular. William Teach at The Pirate’s Cove throws us links every week, but because of the strictures of the FMJRA posts, you seldom see him mentioned in the links below or (before I gave it up) in the Top Linkers list. So thank you, Mr. Teach!

This was a very good week to be a Senators fan. Yes, we lost two out of three to the Royals in KC, winning only the opener after Mike Cuellar left early and was replaced by John Morlan, who we teed off on for six unearned runs on our way to a 10-1 blowout. Then it was off to Baltimore, where despite my expectations we swept the Birds in all three games: a 7-2 win for Carl Morton where Jim Kaat came in for four innings of relief to get the save; an agonizing 14-inning second game where we scored two in the top of the 14th and Charlie Hough held on for the win; and finally a rare start by Steve Hargan that earned him a win and Jim Shellenback a save. So here we are 69-72, 6.5 games behind the Twins and five games ahead of the Brewers, and with a real shot at reaching .500 even if we don’t make the playoffs.
Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley et Hamas delendam sunt.

4-2 is very good indeed.
