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, […]

FMJRA 2.0: Out Of The Cellar

— compiled by Wombat-socho SOTD A better week than expected, as the Senators took two out of three from the Cardinals on Tuesday and did likewise unto the Tribe on Friday. This puts us at 30-38, four games above the A’s, who are last in the Beta Division, and six games behind the 36-32 Twins. […]

FMJRA 2.0: There Must Be Some Kind Of Way Out Of Here

— compiled by Wombat-socho SOTD It was Blowout Week for my Senators, who lost two out of three to the Hated Yankees 4-11 and 2-9 after staking Reggie Cleveland to a 9-2 win against Skip Lockwood in the first game; on Friday, Pat Dobson won the first game against the Twins 8-2 before we got […]

FMJRA 2.0: Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another bad week for the Senators. Lost two of three to the Angels, and then wound up losing two more to the Daytraders because I forgot the reschedule moved the games to Thursday. I’d like to think I could have won one of the two losses if I’d been managing instead […]
