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?

FMJRA 2.0: Mental Door

— compiled by Wombat-socho The Birds returned the favor from the beginning of the season and took 2 of 3 on Sunday.

FMJRA 2.0: Totem

— compiled by Wombat-socho Swept the two-game series at Pittsburgh this week, which was a surprise since Forbes Field is where deep fly balls go to die, and my lineup is full of sluggers, but my Senators are above .500 again. On an unrelated topic, everyone I’ve heard from regarding the catch-up In The Mailbox […]
