FMJRA 2.0: There Ain’t Nothing Wrong With The Radio

— compiled by Wombat-socho Not a good week for my Senators, who dropped two to the Pirates at RFK, and neither of them were close. Hoping to get three in against the Orioles tomorrow morning before I motor up to Reno for three weeks of work in the tax mines there.  Ceterum autem censeo Silicon […]

FMJRA 2.0: Ludwig II von Bayern

— compiled by Wombat-socho Finally, back in the swing of things. My Senators went 3-2, this week, sweeping the Braves and losing two out of three to the A’s, but except for one blowout by the A’s, they were all close games.  Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. Rule 5 Sunday: Clearing Out The […]

FMJRA 2.0: Boxing Day Special

— compiled by Wombat-socho This week, we learned that hot nurses outdraw bikini models. Duly noted. As for my Senators, they had a good week; after losing two out of three to Minnesota, we swept the Orioles in three games. This leaves us half a game behind the Hated YankeesHighlanders, who are up next on […]

FMJRA 2.0: Thousand Dollar Car

— compiled by Wombat-socho It was a better week for the Senators, as they went on the road to Cincinnati and split two with the Reds and then went to Seattle and split two with the Pilots. Teddy Baseball is taking the weekend off to go fishing in Lake Washington, so things are quieter around […]

FMJRA 2.0: Sedan Delivery

— compiled by Wombat-socho SOTD Not a good week for the Senators – took two from the Cardinals at home, but then lost three straight to the Indians at the Mistake On The Lake. The worst part was having Stottlemyre and Siebert go 7 for 8 between them in the last two games; since most […]

FMJRA 2.0: Radar Gun

— compiled by Wombat-socho SOTD (actually not baseball related) This was a better week in Da Tech Guy’s 1969 league for me; despite getting screwed by the robot and losing two straight to the Dodgers, I won two out of three against the ChiSox, the one loss coming at the hands of Phil Niekro, whose […]

FMJRA 2.0: No Joy In Mudville

— compiled by Wombat-socho This has not been a good week for my Senators. Lost two out of three to the Hated Yankees at RFK and split a two-game set against the Dodgers, ditto. Home field advantage? What’s that? Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. Late Night With Rule 5 Sunday: Lauren Southern – […]

FMJRA 2.0: Farewell To A Master

— compiled by Wombat-socho I rarely cross the streams like this, but it seems important to note that one of the great SF and fantasy writers of my generation is hanging up the keyboard. David Drake, who I have been reading since my high school days fifty years ago when the late Jim Baen published […]
