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.)

April 27, 2016 – Phillies 3, Nationals 0 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 24,186 (although not nearly that many actual fannies in the seats)
Game Time: 2:59
Weather: 54 degrees, overcast
Wind: 6 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Will Little, First Base - Ted Barrett, Second Base - Sean Barber, Third Base - Angel Hernandez
Seventh-inning stretch song: Hey Ya! – Outkast (maybe this is National Outkast Week???)
 
Couple brief stretches of light rain, and it definitely felt chillier than the listed 54 degrees … took full advantage of the 2-for-1 Nats Dogs and $2 Peanuts coupons (they were out of the small size, so generously gave us a full bag) … Nats offense was as cold as the weather off Phils starter Jeremy Hellickson and two relievers, getting only 5 baserunners for the game, only 2 of which got as far as second base (Harper steal in the first, Murphy double in the second) … Phils opened the scoring with a small-ball run in the 6th, on a leadoff Odubel Herrera single, Freddy Galvis sacrifice, wild pitch by Gio, and Darin Ruf sac fly … added another in the 7th (singles by Hernandez and Goeddel, sac bunt by Hellickson, bad throw to the plate by Rendon on Bourjos’ grounder), and a third in the 8th on a homer by Ruiz
