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 15, 2015 – Nationals 10, Padres 0 – Petco Park (San Diego)


 
Umpires: HP: Pat Hoberg. 1B: Gerry Davis. 2B: Phil Cuzzi. 3B: Tony Randazzo.
Weather: 64 degrees, clear.
Wind: 17 mph, L to R.
T: 2:43.
Att: 26,166.
Section FI108, Row 32, Seat 1 – not nearly as close as last night (Friday nights are more expensive), but certainly not bad (lower level, about halfway between home and third base)
Seventh-inning stretch song: Twist & Shout – The Beatles
 
Highlights – rain finally stopped mid-afternoon, so had a much more pleasant (although somewhat chilly) evening … first inning started with 4 consecutive singles and a bases-loaded walk to Zimmerman … added two more first-inning runs on a double-play grounder and then a Desmond single … widened lead to 7-0 before anyone was retired in the top of the third on 3 singles and a 2-run Espinosa double … added single runs in the 4th (Harper homer), 6th, and 7th … 10 different Nats had hits, including all 9 starters … JZimm blanked the Padres for the first 6 innings, and rookie A. J. Cole allowed only one hit over the final 3 frames to “save” the 10-run lead

Other – Jayson Werth had to leave the game in the second inning after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist
