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.)

July 19, 2015 – Dodgers 5, Nationals 0 – Nationals Park

http://m.nationals.mlb.com/news/article/137408936/zack-greinke-extends-scoreless-streak-in-win
 
Attendance: 40,293
Game Time: 3:14
Weather: 93 degrees, cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Bill Miller, First Base - Doug Eddings, Second Base - Jim Wolf, Third Base - Adrian Johnson
Seventh-inning stretch song: Cantina Theme (Star Wars)
 
Highlights – Scherzer had to work out of trouble a few times, but held the Dodgers to one run in 6 innings … the bullpen kept the game close until the 9th inning … Thomas Jefferson looked fetching in his Princess Leia outfit … there will still R2-D2 Can Coolers left when we got to the game (around 12:25)
 
Other – the Nats allowed Zach Greinke to extend his remarkable scoreless-inning streak to 43⅔ innings, nicking him for only 3 singles and a walk during his 8 innings of work while fanning 11 times (after striking out 14 times against Kershaw on Saturday) … the since-demoted Blake Treinen allowed 5 hits and 4 runs in the top of the ninth while retiring only one batter … the dark side won the Presidents’ Race as well as the ball game … Metro worked well on the trip home, but on the way down we had to wait 15 minutes at Gallery Place before a Green Line train arrived … it was a bit on the warm side, despite the shade and occasional breeze in our seats
