FMJRA 2.0: Annual Admiral Of The Ocean Sea Appreciation Post

— compiled by Wombat-socho It’s two! Two!! TWO!!! awesome posts in one!

FMJRA 2.0: The Pleasure Is To Play

— compiled by Wombat-socho SOTD Regardless of how poorly my Senators did this year, I miss playing, and I am already poring over the cards of players who will definitely be available next year as well as looking at players from the playoff teams who will probably be available in the draft after those teams […]

FMJRA 2.0: Wait Until Next Year

— compiled by Wombat-socho The season ended with the Pirates sweeping the Senators at Three Rivers, finally putting the season out of its misery.

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 […]
