FMJRA 2.0: Rogers Hornsby Was Right About That, Anyway

— compiled by Wombat-socho People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. – Rogers Hornsby Well, it’s all over for this year. My Senators finished 61-101, nine games worse than the historical team, but then Ted’s […]

FMJRA 2.0: Mental Door

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, with three games each left against California & Oakland, and after dropping all five games this week (three against Boston and two against Oakland), it doesn’t look like the Senators are going to avoid 100 losses this season. Better luck in ’71, I hope. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse […]

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 […]
