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.)

August 5, 2015 – Diamondbacks 11, Nationals 4 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 37,572
Game Time: 3:56
Weather: 87 degrees, clear
Wind: 5 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Gabe Morales, First Base - Tripp Gibson, Second Base - Brian Gorman, Third Base - Mark Carlson
Seventh-inning stretch song: It’s Not Unusual – Tom Jones
 
Highlights – in the top of the first, Nats took maximum advantage of leadoff Escobar double and subsequent walks to Rendon and Harper, scoring 2 runs on sac flies by Zimmerman and Werth … Gio battled out of trouble throughout, fanning 7 and allowing the Diamondbacks to cross the plate only once before being lifted after yielding a leadoff single in the top of the sixth … Tyler Moore came in to face Paul Goldschmidt with one out in the ninth and got him out, then finished the inning without allowing a hit
 
Other – in short, one of the longest and ugliest games of the season … after taking the lead in the bottom of the first, Nats offense failed to score again until the bottom of the ninth, when they were 9 runs down … Aaron Barrett and Tanner Roark allowed the D-backs to take a 5-2 lead in the sixth after Gio’s departure, featuring a thrown-away bunt by the former and two consecutive walks to force in a run by the latter … Thornton and Rivero completed the bullpen meltdown by giving up 3 runs each in the 8th and 9th, respectively
