FMJRA 2.0: Falcons & Eagles

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, we done good, even though we lost three of our last five games – split a two-game series with Baltimore, and then lost two of three in Pittsburgh. Still, we finished 91-71, far better than any Senators team IRL, and get the home field advantage against whoever we’re playing in […]

FMJRA 2.0: Dune

— compiled by Wombat-socho Apologies for the lack of posting in the latter half of the week. For no good reason I can think of, I got very little sleep before having to drive to Las Vegas for a pulmonary appointment Thursday afternoon, and as a result I checked into the Stratosphere around 1700 and […]

FMJRA 2.0: Take It Like A Man

— compiled by Wombat-socho For a few days there, it felt like last season. The Indians came to RFK and swept the series; they were all tough losses, but an L is an L. Then on Friday, we went to Oakland and lost two out of three; the sole win was Juan Marichal’s 22nd. Our […]

FMJRA 2.0: Night Train

— compiled by Wombat-socho A good week for Senators fans. Took two out of three from the Twins and then went to Busch Stadium, where we swept the Cardinals. Pat Dobson notched his 13th and 14th wins, Joe Coleman got his 13th, and Moe Drabowsky & Darold Knowles picked up wins in relief. At this […]

FMJRA 2.0: New York. Feh.

— compiled by Wombat-socho Not a fun week for Senators fans. We had both sets of New Yorkers in town, the Daytraders and Yankees, and we lost two out of three to both of them. Marichal got his 20th win against the Daytraders in a 7-2 laugher, and Jim Kaat held the Yankees to one […]

FMJRA 2.0: Electric Eye

— compiled by Wombat-socho My Senators played Pete’s Brewers last Saturday, so we had a break in the action until last night, when it was time to travel to Anaheim and face the Angels. We took two out of three games, with Dobson & Kaat notching their 12th wins; we’ll be fortunate to do as […]

FMJRA 2.0: Miracle on East Capitol Street

— compiled by Wombat-socho In the long and mostly inglorious history of the Washington Senators in Pete’s continual draft league, there is no team that has defeated us more often than Dom Carden’s Minnesota Twins, now the Kansas City Royals. So it was with some foreboding that our lads awaited the arrival of the Royals […]

FMJRA 2.0: Dinosaur Tales

— compiled by Wombat-socho a good week for the Senators, as we took two out of three from Montreal at home and then went to the Mistake By The Lake to take another two out of three from the Tribe. Despite this, we’re 10.5 games behind the A’s, but still holding on to the fourth […]
