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 […]

FMJRA 2.0: Holding Our Own

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another 3-2 week for the Senators as we cling to second place in the Beta Division. We took two out of three at Fenway, losing only to Don Gullett as the Sox pounded poor Steve Renko for seven runs on their way to a 10-1 blowout win. Then it was off […]

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 […]
