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 9, 2017 – Nats 10, Braves 5 – Nationals Park


http://m.nationals.mlb.com/news/article/241232082/nationals-beat-braves-in-first-half-finale/?topicId=27118414
 
Attendance: 35,030
Game Time: 3:32
Weather: 80 degrees, sunny
Wind: 9 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Bruce Dreckman, First Base - Mike Everitt, Second Base - Chad Whitson, Third Base - Jordan Baker
Seventh-inning stretch song: Build Me Up Buttercup – The Foundations
 
Highlights – Nats jumped out in front with 3 in the first, keyed by a 2-out, 2-run double by should-have-been-All-Star Anthony Rendon, who reached base 4 times … after the Braves tied it in the third, Washington outscored them 7-2 the rest of the way … top of the order (Goodwin/Difo/Harper) reached base 8 times and scored 6 of the 10 runs … Murphy put things out of reach with a 2-out, 2-run double in the bottom of the 8th
 
Other – Nats starter Joe Ross gave up a 3-run homer to Nats-killer Freddie Freeman in the 3rd, then left an inning later with triceps tenderness (and sub-par fastball velocity)
