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 […]

FMJRA 2.0: Finally, A Winning Week

— compiled by Wombat-socho After weeks of getting beaten like the family mule, the Senators struck back with a sweep of the A’s plus two wins against the Twins. A lot of the credit goes to the bullpen, with Charlie Hough going three innings in Game 2 for the win against the A’s, and both […]

FMJRA 2.0: Curse of the Gopherball

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another miserable week of Senators baseball…we won only one game out of three against the Cubs at RFK because Charlie Hough gave up two homers in the 9th and 10th to blow the save and the game for Steve Renko in Game 1, and then the hitters just couldn’t get more […]

FMJRA 2.0: In Like A Lion

— compiled by Wombat-socho At the risk of tempting the Arch-Demon Murphy, it could be worse. Yes, we went 1-4 this week, getting just one win off the Phillies before dropping a two-game series to the Orioles, but at least we’re not in the American League cellar, since we’re one game ahead of the A’s. […]
