As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

May 28, 2017 – Padres 5, Nats 3 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 30,243
Game Time: 3:19
Weather: 65 degrees, cloudy
Wind: 7 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Dan Bellino, First Base - Jerry Layne, Second Base - Roberto Ortiz, Third Base - Mike Estabrook
 
Highlights – Nats scored a run in the first after loading the bases with nobody out (Trea Turner single, Goodwin double, Rendon walk), another in the second (singles by Difo, Turner, and Goodwin), and one in the fifth on an Adam Lind RBI double after a Zimmerman single … Jacob Turner, Treinen, and Romero combined for 5 scoreless innings out of the pen
 
Other – Joe Ross gave up two runs in the top of the first on a two-out Ryan Schimpf homer after Will Myers worked a walk … things didn’t improve from there, as Ross gave up 3 more runs and a total of 12 hits without retiring a batter in the 5th … while we were prepared for possible rain late afternoon or early evening, we didn’t expect the drizzle (and eventual rain) we got before the game when waiting for autographs … were also a bit surprised when the put the tarp on about 15 minutes before the game was scheduled to start, as they were obviously warned of the rain that started shortly thereafter and delayed the start of the game for 80 minutes … cool throughout, also in contrast to the earlier forecast … tried the Italian sausage sandwich for the first time, which wasn’t bad
