FMJRA 2.0: Igneous

— compiled by Wombat-socho Going on the road was just what the Senators needed to change things up. They split a two-game series at Baltimore on Monday, and then Friday went to Anaheim where they split two with the Angels. Here’s hoping it’s a sign of things to come. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse […]

FMJRA 2.0: Alberich

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another miserable week for the Senators; a hard-fought series against the A’s resulted in two narrow losses and a win, the latter a result of Larry Dierker pitching a complete game against Sonny Siebert for his fifth win. Unfortunately, the Reds then visited RFK and swept the series: 2-6, 3-6, and […]

FMJRA 2.0: Eternity Sunrise

— compiled by Wombat-socho Our long national nightmare is over – the Senators took two games from the New York Day Traders at RFK today, ending a miserable ten-game losing streak. Outfielder Pat Kelly, acquired from Pete’s Pilots along with southpaw Ron Bryant and a couple of draft picks for former franchise player Frank Howard, […]

FMJRA 2.0: Velvet Voyage

— compiled by Wombat-socho It was a really bad week for the Senators, who are starting to feel a lot like the Kansas City A’s in the 1950s and 60s. Many water coolers were broken, a couple of sportswriters had hot water poured on them (and much to our manager’s surprise, did not turn into […]

FMJRA 2.0: Starface

— compiled by Wombat-socho Not a great week for my Senators – we split a two-game series against the Red Sox and then lost two out of three in Minneapolis.

FMJRA 2.0: Floating

— compiled by Wombat-socho I was going to knock this out yesterday, but I kept waiting for links from a usually reliable supplier, but they never showed…anyway, it was an okay week for my Senators. True, we got blown out by the Phillies in two games to start the week (the only win was from […]

FMJRA 2.0: Shamanic Tales

— compiled by Wombat-socho This week was better than last week for my Senators, who are still bedeviled by injuries and just plan bad luck. We ground out two wins against the A’s, both in extra innings, and then got blown away by the Red Sox in two games at Fenway. It could have been […]

FMJRA 2.0: The Glorious Burden

— compiled by Wombat-socho The less said about baseball this week, the better. We’re going to have to send a crew down to Home Depot for some new water coolers, and pray hard for Juan Marichal’s quick recovery. On the second day at Gettysburg, Longstreet’s division tried to crush the left flank of Meade’s forces […]
