FMJRA 2.0: I Scent The Morning Air

— compiled by Wombat-socho .400 ball this week; lost 2 of 3 to the Dodgers and split a pair with the Angels. Bah humbug. On the upside, the third volume of Klaus Schulze’s La vie electronique is just as good as the first two. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. In The Mailbox: 11.30.22 […]

FMJRA 2.0: Control

— compiled by Wombat-socho Can it be possible? A five-game winning streak for my Senators? YES IT CAN! We took two out of three from the Braves at home in RFK, then went to New York and swept the DayTraders in a wild set of games that featured a 9-8 slugfest with not one but […]

FMJRA 2.0: If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)

— compiled by Wombat-socho A winning week for the Senators! We lost two of three to the Cardinals in St. Louis (the middle game was a 4-1 win with Marichal outdueling Bob Gibson) but beat the Red Sox in two games straight at Fenway, overcoming Jack Billingsley (we NEVER beat Jack Billingsley) and Phil Niekro. […]

FMJRA 2.0: Ludwig II Von Bayern

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another week of .400 baseball – Marichal got us a win at San Francisco, and Joe Coleman held the A’s to two runs while we scored six, so we wound up with two wins out of five games. Could have been worse. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. Joe Biden […]

FMJRA 2.0: Minuet

— compiled by Wombat-socho Not a good week for my Senators. Got swept by the Giants in a two-game series, then lost two of three to the Tribe at home. We get to play the Giants again on Tuesday, and I’m not looking forward to that. The second album in Klaus Schulze’s La Vie Electronique […]

FMJRA 2.0: Keep On Rocking In The Free World

— compiled by Wombat-socho Not a great week for my Senators, but not an awful one either: split a pair of games with Boston and lost two out of three at Philadelphia, but except for the final game in Philly the losses were all close. We may be losing the Atlanta and Philadelphia managers for […]

FMJRA 2.0: Sudno

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another week of .500 baseball for the Senators, losing two out of three games to the A’s and winning two of three from the Expos. One of the losses to the A’s was truly infuriating, an eighteen-inning ordeal in which he A’s closer Darold Knowles pitched nine innings in relief with […]

FMJRA 2.0: Out of The Blue & Into The Black

— compiled by Wombat-socho A decent week for the Senators. True, we lost two out of three to the Twins, who have a disgusting number of left-handed hitters and pitchers, but we began the week with two wins against the Yankees. So we’re .500 for the week. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. ‘Climate […]
