FMJRA 2.0: SUUUURGE!

— compiled by Wombat-socho Official soda of the 1971 Washington Senators. Our manager, of course, prefers Moxie. A fine homestand this week: first we got a split against the always-troublesome Royals, then swept the Braves in three games, which puts us just one game behind the A’s and two games up on the Twins. Our […]

FMJRA 2.0: National Radio Waves – On The Wire

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another .500 week for the Senators; we took two out of three in Montreal, including a rare win for Jim Kaat, but were not so fortunate at the Mistake by the Lake, where we lost two out of three to the Tribe. The sole win in Cleveland was the seventh for […]

FMJRA 2.0: We Saw It, It Was Coming

— compiled by Wombat-socho Senators took two of three from the division-leading A’s at RFK and ten went on the road to Minnesota and got thumped in two games straight before Juan Marichal came in to shut down the Twins’ bats while the lads teed off on Sudden Sam McDowell for an 8-0 blowout in […]

FMJRA 2.0: Ludwig Revisited – Cozy Ludwig

— compiled by Wombat-socho So after getting whupped in Philadelphia, the Senators boarded the train to Baltimore hoping to regain their road warrior mojo, but it was not to be: while Joe Coleman won the opener to balance his record at 2-2, Pat Dobson got outdueled by Andy Messersmith and Jim Kaat got pounded in […]

— compiled by Wombat-socho Fresh off a sweep of the Red Sox in Fenway on Tuesday, the Senators went to Shibe Park expecting to rock the 10-11 Phillies, but it was not to be. We lost two of the three games (game #2, where we started Jim Kaat much to our regret, wasn’t even close) […]

FMJRA 2.0 Let It Ride

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another week of .500 baseball for the Senators; we took two of three from the Hated Yankees in New York and then came home to lose two of three in RFK to the Reds, getting 2b Cookie Rojas crunched for 60 days in the process. So we’ll have to make do […]

FMJRA 2.0: Back To Earth

— compiled by Wombat-socho All I had to do is complement the Senators and California spanks them — Peter Ingemi (@DaTechGuyblog) June 17, 2023 And that’s the way it was. Fresh off a sweep of the Giants at Candlestick, the Senators came home and lost three close games to the Angels at RFK. Coleman and […]

FMJRA 2.0: Road Warriors

— compiled by Wombat-socho SOTD: Weekend Warriors A good start to the 1971 season for my Senators! Yes, we dropped two of three to the Royals (were Twins) since Dom Carden is a tough and canny manager, but we came back to sweep Pete’s Brewers (were Pilots) at Milwaukee. Se we’re four and two after […]
