FMJRA 2.0: One Big Crunch

— compiled by Wombat-socho SOTW After the last couple of weeks, this was a particularly bad week to be a Senators fan. First we got swept by the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, and then we came home to get whipped by the Expos, winning only one game: a comeback against Paul Lindblad that earned Roger […]

FMJRA 2.0: Too Good To Be True?

— compiled by Wombat-socho It was another great week to be a Senators fan. Not only did we take two of three against the hapless Dodgers – the sole loss coming at the hands of Don Sutton, who held us to three runs while the Dodgers scratched out four – but we went on to […]

FMJRA 2.0: Suddenly, A Winning Week

— compiled by Wombat-socho It was a good week to be a Senators fan. First, we rose up and defeated the Expos in two games of our three game series, including a 4-run 10th inning rally (featuring a two-run homer by The Human Rain Delay) that won the game for Roger Nelson in relief of […]

FMJRA 2.0: Still Stuck In The Ruts

— compiled by Wombat-socho It was another .500 week for the home team – we lost two of three to the Cardinals, and it would have been a sweep except for a six-run rally in the sixth against Orlando Pena, which gave Jim Kaat his first win in relief. The shoe was on the other […]

FMJRA 2.0: On An Even Keel

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, it could have been worse – we could have spent another week in the ruts. As it was, we lost two of three to the Angels in Anaheim, one of them a heartbreaking 7-3 loss in which Charlie Hough blew the lead and the game by horking up six runs […]

FMJRA 2.0: A Week In The Ruts

— compiled by Wombat-socho So the Bravos came to town and utterly wrecked our shit. Jim Kaat held them to two runs in the opener, but Steve Renko and Pat Dobson got beaten like red-headed stepchildren; game 2 was a 15-10 slugfest, but it really wasn’t that close. Fortunately, the Twins were next up, and […]

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 […]
