FMJRA 2.0: No Grandeur, Lots of Misery, Just One Victory

— compiled by Wombat-socho Rob Kroese could use some help. Buy some books. This week the Senators got their asses kicked good and hard. First we got swept by the Angels, thanks to two bullpen implosions and bad starts from Joe Coleman and Spaceman Lee, and then we went to the Polo Grounds to face […]

FMJRA 2.0: An Almost Perfect Week

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, at least if you were a Senators fan. We began the week with two wins against Pete’s Brewers in Milwaukee, and then came home to sweep the New York Giants at RFK, with Spaceman Lee racking up his 10th win, Bob Johnson his 9th save, Carl Morton picking up his […]

FMJRA 2.0: A Short Week

— compiled by Wombat-socho Played a two-game set with Baltimore on Friday and got a split. We’ll take it. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley et Hamas delendam sunt.

FMJRA 2.0: A Week of Beatings

— compiled by Wombat-socho Once again, it was a bad week to be a Senators fan. Not only did we get swept by the (formerly) cellar-dwelling A’s, we got swept by the Dodgers as well, and just for good measure lost two out of three to the Red Sox when we came home for what […]

FMJRA 2.0: Breakthrough!

— compiled by Wombat-socho This was a good week to be a Senators fan. First we took two out of three from the Cardinals, losing only to Bob Gibson (and getting Carl Morton suspended for saying the Magic Words to Umpire Merriweather) and then we did the same to the visiting Tribe, who had swept […]

FMJRA 2.0: Return to Mediocrity

— compiled by Wombat-socho SOTD Took two out of three from the Daytraders at Lida Junction on the way back to Tonopah Tuesday; Pat Dobson got one of his two wins this week and Coleman evened up his record at 6-6. Didn’t do so well against the Twins on Friday, losing two very close games […]

FMJRA 2.0: A Rare Winning Week

— compiled by Wombat-socho Confinement VI ended sooner than I thought it would, with Mike Williamson, most of his family, and a large number of C6 members going off to the range this afternoon, so I’m getting caught up on blogging. Since both of the Senators’ opponents last week were on autopilot, I managed to […]

FMJRA 2.0: Aspiring to Mediocrity

— compiled by Wombat-socho Took two out of three from Atlanta on Tuesday and then lost two out of three to Pete’s Brewers. Spaceman Lee got two of the wins and Charlie Hough got the other in relief against the Bravos. Picked up several good hitters in the draft, but they ain’t hitting, and meanwhile […]
