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.)

May 14, 2017 – Nats 6, Phillies 5 (Game 2) – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 30,137
Game Time: 3:34
Weather: 78 degrees, partly cloudy
Wind: 9 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Andy Fletcher, First Base - Alan Porter, Second Base - Joe West, Third Base - Chris Segal
 
Section 416, Row F, Seats 3-5 (back in our old Section 416 stomping grounds)
 
Notes – the ultimate see-saw game, which was tied 3-3 when we left the building in the middle of the 6th … worst moment came in the top of the 4th, when Scherzer was hit on the left knee by a 100-MPH liner off the bat of Michael Saunders … Max stayed in the game, and after allowing two runs to score in the inning, struck out the Phils on 9 pitches in the 5th before allowing another run in his final inning of work … Velasquez was his typical inefficient self for Philadelphia, needing 100 pitches to get through 5 innings while allowing 3 runs … Luis Garcia allowed the Nats to take the lead in the bottom of the 6th by allowing a double to pinch-hitter Brian Goodwin after walking leadoff batter Anthony Rendon … Phils went back on top in the 8th when Matt Grace and Jacob Turner each walked a batter and Galvis tripled them home … Nats regained the lead in the bottom of the frame on a two-run homer by Taylor (who had fanned in his previous 3 ABs) off Neshek, and Matt Albers saved the day (and game) for the Nats with a 1-2-3 ninth
