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 […]

FMJRA 2.0: I Was Dreaming I Was Awake

— compiled by Wombat-socho Things started badly this week for my Senators as they wiped out against the Pirates in three games at Three Rivers, but ended well when we came home to RFK and beat the A’s in two games straight. Jim Kaat outdueled Sonny Siebert in game one for a 1-0 win, the […]

FMJRA 2.0: Shadows Of The Night

— compiled by Wombat-socho The Senators traded starting pitcher Larry Dierker and newly acquired center fielder Pat Kelly to the Phillies for center fielder Willie Mays and starter Pat Dobson, mainly with an eye toward next season (1973) when Dierker is going to be chopped liver (along with Mays) but we’ll have two decent center […]

FMJRA 2.0: Joy In Mudville

— compiled by Wombat-socho It was a rare and pleasant week to be a Senators fan, for the Nats went 5-3 against the Orioles. We split a two-game series at home, then went to Baltimore and took two out of three. Jim Kaat got two of the three wins, Moe Drabowsky blew two saves to […]
