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 […]

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 […]
