FMJRA 2.0: Indians Scalped!

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 Game 3, outdueling Mickey Lolich for his 13th win. It dodn’t go so well against the Royals at home. Joe Coleman lost the opener because we couldn’t buy a hit off Bert Blyleven, but Carl Morton gave us hope in Game 2 by blanking the Royals as Dave “Kong” Kingman led the offense by blasting two homers off Mike Cuellar. Unfortunately, in Game 3 Blue Moon Odom failed us again, coughing up three runs in the 4th, and the bullpen made it worse, giving up another six runs for a 9-1 blowout by the Royals. Still, that left us 4-2 for the week, tied for second with the Red Sox at 60-64 and 6.5 games behind the Brewers. Unfortunately, Charlie Hough ran out of innings, which means we won’t have our best right-handed reliever for the final 38 games, but we’re hoping Foucault and Sells can fill in. Pete gave us a nice writeup this week, and we hope to keep the winning ways going when we face the Braves on Tuesday (we’re 2-1 against him this season) and the Brewers on Friday (4-5 so far).
