FMJRA 2.0: Before The Deluge

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, it could have been worse. We lost two out of three to the Cardinals in St. Louis and then came home to take two of three from the Tribe. Spaceman Lee picked up the lone win against the Cards, going the distance in a 5-0 shutout, and then gave up […]

FMJRA 2.0: September in Washington

— compiled by Wombat-socho Ah, September…the month when the rosters expand, the kids go back to school, the miserable sweaty heat lingers over the Anacostia, and the crowds at RFK dwindle as the Senators get beaten like a rented mule. We were hoping for a .500 week, but we got swept by the Hated Yankees […]

FMJRA 2.0: Marginal Victory

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, that week turned out very differently than I expected. First, we swept the two-game series against the Angels against whom we were 3-5, with Blue Moon Odom notching his second win in relief (vice Jim Kaat) and Spaceman Lee taking Game Two for his fourteenth win. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage […]

FMJRA 2.0: Indians Scalped!

— compiled by Wombat-socho What a wild week! The Senators went to the Mistake By The Lake to face the Tribe, against whom we were 2-4, and managed a sweep. The bullpen saved us in Games 1 & 2, with Steve Foucault and Charlie Hough notching the wins, and Spaceman Lee returned to form in […]

FMJRA 2.0: Hanging In There

— compiled by Wombat-socho Not as good a week as last week, but we’ll take it. Lost two of our three games against the Twins, one when Bob Johnson blew a 4-3 lead in the ninth inning and the other when our hitters just couldn’t get it done against Jim Barr. Our sole win, oddly […]

FMJRA 2.0: A Week of Wins!

— compiled by Wombat-socho Just an amazing week to be a Senators fan. First we swept the Cubs at Wrigley behind Carl Morton and Joe Coleman, with Charlie Hough picking up Game #2 in relief of Spaceman Lee, then we came home to face the troublesome A’s, and took the first two games behind Jim […]

FMJRA 2.0: Out of the Cellar (Again)

— compiled by Wombat-socho The Senators had a good week. Took two out of three from the Phillies at RFK and then split with the O’s in Baltimore, which makes us 3-2 for the week and 48-58 overall. We’re out of the cellar, two games ahead of the A’s and two behind the Brewers, most […]

FMJRA 2.0: The Cost of Victory

— compiled by Wombat-socho After last week’s crushing losses, it was glorious indeed to rise up and smite not only the Reds but the Red Sox on the road. Spaceman Lee lost the opener against the Reds, but the bullpen came through in Games 2 and 3, getting a win for Charlie Hough in Game […]
