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 28, 2016 – Rockies 5, Nationals 3 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 28,124
Game Time: 2:52
Weather: 86 degrees, sunny
Wind: 3 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Mike Muchlinski, First Base - Marty Foster, Second Base - Mark Wegner, Third Base - Mike Winters
Seventh-inning stretch song: The Twist – Chubby Checker
 
Highlights – Trea Turner led off the bottom of the first with his fifth home run … other two Nats runs also came on leadoff homers, by Ramos in the seventh and Harper in the ninth
 
Non-highlights – Lucas Giolito struggled in the first but only allowed one run … with two out and none on in the third, Giolito allowed a single to Carlos Gonzalez, followed by back-to back homers by Nolan Arenado (who finished a double short of the cycle) and David Dahl … final Rockies run came in the eighth on a Koda Glover wild pitch that nailed home-plate umpire Mike Muchlinski on the left shoulder, allowing Daniel Descalso to score from second … Bryce was having trouble with the sun in right field most of the game, most notably on Arenado’s fifth-inning triple (which was initially scored an error) … Zimmerman fanned in all three appearances against Rockies starter Chad Bettis
 
Other – was third in the section 129/130 pre-game autograph line, but A.J. Cole didn’t come out to sign until we’d been in line in the sun for about 50 minutes (12:05-12:55), after Glover had already finished signing for the luckier folks in the other line … tried the chicken and biscuit sandwich from Virginia Country Kitchen (not too bad) … worst traffic ever getting out of the parking area by the Homeland Security offices
