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 […]

FMJRA 2.0: A Glimmer of Hope

— compiled by Wombat-socho After a couple of weeks getting their faces eaten by various teams, my Senators actually had a 3-3 week. It started badly with us losing two of three games to the Cubs at Wrigley, but we came home and won two of three against the A’s. We’re still a game behind […]

FMJRA 2.0: The Regrettably Necessary Midweek FMJRA

— compiled by Wombat-socho The less said about the Senators’ miserable week, the better. Son of Silvercon II was a lot of fun, even if we didn’t get the attendance we hoped for. Going to do a longer writeup on the Friends of Fission-chan blog later and link it up. I cannot for the life […]

FMJRA 2.0: The Beatings Continue

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another miserable week for the Senators, thanks largely to our “closer” Vicente Romo, who lost two of our three games against the Reds and was also responsible for one of our two losses in Boston against the Red Sox. (They swept the two-game series.) At 43-58, we are tied with Oakland […]
