FMJRA 2.0: One Last Series

— compiled by Wombat-socho We lost two out of three games against Boston and then split the two-game series against the O’s at home, which leaves us at 67-92, still in last place and five games behind the A’s. This week we’re facing the Pirates at home; we’re 1-2 against them so far this season, […]

FMJRA 2.0: The Beatings Will Continue Until The Season Concludes

— compiled by Wombat-socho I’m trying to figure out what a miracle meant. What an awful week. We were hoping to sweep the A’s and Dodgers, or at least take two out of three from them, but they both beat us like the family mule (especially embarrassing because the Dodgers have no hitting but still […]

FMJRA 2.0: Is It October Yet?

— compiled by Wombat-socho The Big BasedCon Book Sale – Over 1100 sold so far! The less said about this week’s series against St. Louis & Cleveland, the better. We were 1-5 on the week and are now 63-85, three games behind the A’s in the cellar of our division. Speaking of the A’s, we’ll […]

FMJRA 2.0: A Token of My Extreme

— compiled by Wombat-socho A strange homestand this week at RFK: we got swept by the Yankees, in an 15-11 slugfest followed by two close 3-2 losses, but then the Twins came to town and our bats caught fire. The Twins were bludgeoned 10-2, 6-1, and 6-2, with even Don Stanhouse notching a win in […]

FMJRA 2.0: No Relief In September

— compiled by Wombat-socho It was another .500 week for the Senators as we lost 2 of 3 in Anaheim to the Angels, the sole win coming on Jim Kaat’s last start as we managed to scratch out two runs against Tom Bradley, and that proved to be enough. Coming home to RFK, we thought […]

FMJRA 2.0: It Could Have Been Worse

— compiled by Wombat-socho Atlanta may be 76-54, but we swept them in the Launching Pad before coming home and getting whupped by Pete’s Brewers at RFK; we lost Game 1 thanks to the accursed rain gods, but Carl Morton hung on to win his fifth game, 2-1 against George Stone. In Game 3 the […]

FMJRA 2.0: A Sight Not Seen For Quite Some Time

— compiled by Wombat-socho Kinda nice to post the Curly W flag again after so many weeks of getting beaten like a rented mule. We had a good week, taking two of three from the Tribe at the Mistake by the Lake before coming home to RFK and taking two more from the Royals. Jim […]

FMJRA 2.0: An Inoffensive Offense

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, that was a miserable week. The Senators scored a total of nine runs in our six games against the Twins and Expos, with the result being that we went 1-5 on the week to finish at 48-70, four games behind the A’s in our division and not too far ahead […]
