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 […]

FMJRA 2.0: Even Worse

— compiled by Wombat-socho My Senators’ agony continued this week, as we lost two out of three to the Angels and then got swept by the Hated Yankees. Worse, in looking at my roster, I’m going to have to replace most of my position players since most of them turn into pumpkins in 1973. Ceterum […]

FMJRA 2.0: One Big Crunch

— compiled by Wombat-socho A tough week for my Senators, who lost two of three to Pete’s Brewers and then did the same against the Giants. Yeah, some of them were close losses, but an L is an L, and nobody cares about the point spread except the bookies. We’re still in fourth place at […]

FMJRA 2.0: Bullpen Blues

— compiled by Wombat-socho Senators went 2-3 this week, losing two games against the Pirates thanks to poor pitching by the relief corps until Reggie Cleveland went the distance in Game Three to salvage a win. Next, we split a pair at Kansas City, where Joe Coleman won his 12th game against Bert Blyleven in […]

FMJRA 2.0: No Surrender

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another good week for my Senators – we split a two-game series with the Red Sox and then took two out of three from the O’s. This puts us at 37-42, 13.5 behind Pete’s Braves and three games behind the third-place Twins. I have no idea where this puts us in […]

FMJRA 2.0: Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another good week for my Senators, who took two of three from the A’s and then another two of three from the Dodgers on a roadtrip through California. I credit the offense’s awakening to right-fielder John Lowenstein, whose batting average is a mere .220, but who draws a lot of walks, […]
