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 […]

FMJRA 2.0: Das Herz Von Groenland

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, the long agony of the draft is over, and play begins Tuesday. I’m thinking with this lineup I should do fine, especially in a division that includes Pete’s Mariners (oops, Brewers), the Oakland A’s, and expansion teams in Boston & Minneapolis. C: Duke Sims/Dick Billings 1b: Mike “Super Jew” Epstein […]

FMJRA 2.0: Take It Away, Harry

— compiled by Wombat-socho SOTD: You’re Breakin’ My Heart This year I arrived at Balticon for the first time since 2019 only to find that without a face panty, I couldn’t attend panels, enter the dealers room, or visit the art show. But hanging out in the consuite was fine! WTF, Balticon. I can’t breathe […]

FMJRA 2.0: Who Made Who

— compiled by Wombat-socho Chilling in Chantilly for a few days before heading north for Balticon. So far the draft is going well for me. I have a solid outfield, starting rotation, and deadly bullpen. Don’t think the Senators are going to finish in the cellar this year. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. […]

FMJRA 2.0: Toward Compliant Towers

— compiled by Wombat-socho I’ve been a fan of the British electronic musician yclept Conelrad for some time, and for a while I was downloading his Conelcast podcasts on the regular. I can’t say I was too surprised that he’s taking a break from Conelcast, but as you can see from the link to his […]

FMJRA 2.0: Deep Holy Water

— compiled by Wombat-socho SOTD is from Jason & The Scorchers’ most recent album, Halcyon Times, which is probably the best fusion of country and rock you’re going to hear. On a related topic, I picked up the eighth volume of Klaus Schulze’s La Vie Electronique, which is pretty good except for the four pieces […]
