FMJRA 2.0: Waiting for the Winter Meetings

— compiled by Wombat-socho So apparently we’re having a little trouble in Pete’s league getting people to play their playoff games, which is kind of annoying since those of us who didn’t make the playoffs would like to get on with the draft for the 1975 season. In the meantime I’m crunching numbers and looking […]

FMJRA 2.0: Missed It By That Much

— compiled by Wombat-socho As I mentioned Thursday, my Senators missed the playoffs by one game, finishing with a record of 78-84 while the Royals slipped into the last wildcard slot with a 79-83 record. I finished second in the Beta division, nine games behind the Twins and seven ahead of the Brewers, sixth overall […]

FMJRA 2.0: Down To The Wire

— compiled by Wombat-socho Will the Senators make the playoffs? It all depends on the Kansas City Royals and the Minnesota Twins. We took two of three from the A’s and then lost two of three to the Reds, our sole win coming from a ninth-inning rally against Dick Woodson and a solid relief inning […]

FMJRA 2.0: Probably Not This Year

— compiled by Wombat-socho You would think that six games in the Launching Pad and Wrigley Field would have seen Dave Winfield, Jim Northrup, and Dave Kingman jacking homers in all directions, but unfortunately the Bravos and Cubs have some tough pitchers, and we finished the week 1-5, which may just be enough to knock […]

FMJRA 2.0: Grinding Forward

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another good week to be a Senators fan! The week began badly as we lost two out of three at Cleveland, but tonight we swept Pete’s Brewers to finish the week 73-74, still in second place behind the Twins but now 15.5 games ahead of the Brewers – and more importantly, […]

FMJRA 2.0: O’s, Yeah!

— compiled by Wombat-socho Before I get into This Week With The Senators, I’d like to direct your attention to The eponymous widget in the sidebar where we recognize fellow bloggers who link us on the regular. William Teach at The Pirate’s Cove throws us links every week, but because of the strictures of the […]

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 […]
