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 13, 2017 – Giants 4, Nats 2 (Game 1 of split double-header) – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 30,866
Game Time: 3:09
Weather: 82 degrees, sunny
Wind: 9 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Ryan Blakney, First Base - Ryan Additon, Second Base - Jerry Meals, Third Base - Chris Guccione
Seventh-inning stretch song: Can’t Stop The Feeling – Justin Timberlake
 
Highlights – fill-in starter AJ Cole did all right, going 6 innings with the only hiccup being a 3-run second inning … Nats Park Public Enemy #1 Hunter Strickland was booed early and often (as he walked in from the bullpen, when he was announced, when the inning ended) before, during and after he pitched the 8th inning … Rendon exacted a measure of revenge for Harper’s beaning with a 2-run tater … new bullpen stalwarts Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson did the honors for the pre-game autograph signing
 
Other – Nats weren’t able to do anything against SF starter Chris Stratton, who began the game with an ERA above 6 but pitched shutout ball into the 7th, fanning 10 in the process … traffic was relatively light coming down, although there was quite a backup on the GW Parkway on the way back
