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 5, 2015 – Nationals 3, Giants 1 – Nationals Park


http://m.nationals.mlb.com/news/article/134968464
 
Attendance: 33,157
Game Time: 3:02
Weather: 83 degrees, cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Phil Cuzzi, First Base - Gerry Davis, Second Base - Pat Hoberg, Third Base - Will Little
Seventh-inning stretch song: Higher Love – Steve Winwood
 
Highlights – 7 effective innings by Jordan Zimmermann (3 hits, 1 walk, 8 Ks, 100 pitches), with the only blemish being a fourth-inning homer by Brandon Crawford on a 3-0 pitch … 2nd-inning RBI single by Michael A. Taylor after leadoff walks to Ramos and Espinosa … 6th-inning solo homer by Ramos to restore the Nats’ lead … 8th-inning insurance run on Harper double and Ramos single … another home save (and free Chick-Fil-A sandwich) courtesy of Drew Storen … periodic updates on the U.S. Women’s World Cup championship win over Japan, which elicited enthusiastic crowd chants of U-S-A
 
Other – beat the traffic by leaving Rockville 5 hours before game time (we wanted to arrive early enough to eat at Nando’s and get to the stadium in time for the Strasburg bobbleheads (no, they didn’t portray him clutching some body part on the way to the DL))
