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.)

September 17, 2017 – Nats 7, Dodgers 1 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 29,155
Game Time: 3:22
Weather: 78 degrees, clear
Wind: 4 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Hunter Wendelstedt, First Base - Adrian Johnson, Second Base - Gabe Morales, Third Base - Gary Cederstrom
 
Notes – ESPN Sunday night game, so first for us in a while to start well after sundown … Strasburg finally gave up a run in the top of the 2nd, ending his 35-inning streak of scoreless innings, but otherwise blanked the Dodgers through 6, despite allowing 3 stolen bases … he also contributed at the plate, running up Hyun-Jin Ryu’s pitch count with 2 outs in the 5th with a 9-pitch at-bat ending in a walk, forcing LA manager Dave Roberts to lift his starter after he then walked Trea Turner … Nats offense, quiet while losing 4 out of 5 games since last Sunday’s clincher, finally woke up the next inning, when Zim hit a 3-run homer after a Rendon walk and a Murphy single … added one insurance run in the 7th, and 3 more the next inning on a solo HR by Zim and a 2-run shot by Adam Lind, who set the Nats career record for pinch-hit homers with his 4th
