FMJRA 2.0: August Blues

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, it could have been worse. The Senators got swept in a two-game series against the Orioles last Tuesday, thanks mostly to the O’s powerful lineup, but then the Phillies arrived, and we whipped them in two out of our three games, losing only to Steve Carlton, who almost had a […]

FMJRA 2.0: On An Even Keel

— compiled by Wombat-socho If you’re the sort of person who prays for others when they’re facing the Reflector Heads, please do so for Fritz, who blogs at A View For The Beach. He has been rendered humorless.  We started the week going 2-1 against Pete’s Brewers and ended it losing two out of three […]

FMJRA 2.0: Holding Our Own

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another 3-2 week for the Senators as we cling to second place in the Beta Division. We took two out of three at Fenway, losing only to Don Gullett as the Sox pounded poor Steve Renko for seven runs on their way to a 10-1 blowout win. Then it was off […]

FMJRA 2.0: Better Than Expected

— compiled by Wombat-socho A good week for Senators fans, even though travel and work compelled me to play the Tuesday series against the Angels on Wednesday and the Friday series against the Hated Yankees tonight. I had been expecting a disastrous wipeout against the top two teams in the Alpha Division of the AL, […]

FMJRA 2.0: Maintaining the Balance

— compiled by Wombat-socho Confinement VII went well. Almost certainly coming back next year. It was an okay week for the Senators fans too: we lost two of three to the Giants before Jim Kaat salvaged Game Three by holding the Jints to two runs while the boys scored three off Buzz Capra. Next, we […]

FMJRA 2.0: Still Winning

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, that went better than I thought it would. We played the Daytraders last Sunday and took two games out of three; we lost the opener to Vida Blue but won game 2 in extra innings on an RBI single by Tom Grieve, and in game three we pounded Larry Gura […]

FMJRA 2.0: Harvey Dent Week

— compiled by Wombat-socho The Senators went 3-3 this week, sweeping the hapless A’s before going to Minneapolis and getting swept by the division-leading Twins, who we are now trailing by 9.5 games. We’re facing the Daytraders tonight and the Tribe on Friday, so I’m not too optimistic about this week. We’ll see what happens. […]

FMJRA 2.0: Better Late Than Never

— compiled by Wombat-socho Pretty sick this weekend but I slept for about 12 hours last night and now I only feel half as miserable. The Senators took two out of three from Pittsburgh and Boston last week, so now we’re 44-52, tied with Pete’s Brewers for second in the division, 5.5 games behind the […]
