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 […]

FMJRA 2.0: Don’t Lean On Me, Man, Because You Can’t Afford The Ticket

— compiled by Wombat-socho The last two weeks saw the Senators finally snap their losing streak against the Cubs, as Joe Coleman notched his eighth win, and then Jim Kaat his tenth in an 11-0 blowout at Wrigley. There followed more winning series against Oakland and Minnesota, but the A’s went 7-3 while we went […]

FMJRA 2.0: Lepanto

— compiled by Wombat-socho Today is the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary, originally known as Our Lady of Victory. On this day in 1571, an alliance of Catholic states including Spain and Venice faced off against the Turkish fleet led by Ali Pasha. Under the command of Don John of Austria, the […]

FMJRA 2.0: I Was Dreaming I Was Awake

— compiled by Wombat-socho The Senators were on the road this week, taking two out of three from the Hated Yankees at Yankee Stadium and then sweeping the Reds at Cinergy Park, which is a lot like RFK only with less foul ground. Pat Dobson racked up his eighth and ninth wins, Vicente Romo got […]
