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 9, 2017 – Nats 10, Marlins 1 – Nationals Park


http://m.nationals.mlb.com/news/article/247486288/nationals-rout-marlins-for-sharp-gio-gonzalez/
 
Attendance: 25,951
Game Time: 3:02
Weather: 82 degrees, partly cloudy
Wind: 7 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Ryan Additon, First Base - CB Bucknor, Second Base - Fieldin Culbreth, Third Base - Manny Gonzalez
 
Highlights – perfect night for baseball weather-wise … Gio gave up some hits, but only one run in his 7 innings, with no walks and an economical 103 pitches … Nats chipped away at Miami starter Adam Conley and the Marlins’ bullpen, scoring in 5 of the first 7 innings … Zim started things off in the 2nd with a solo HR, setting the all-time franchise record for RBI in the process … not satisfied with that achievement, he added 3 more hits (plus a walk) and 4 more RBI, missing the cycle only because he homered again rather than hitting a triple in his final plate appearance
 
Other – drive down was not quite as bad as our previous weeknight treks … yes, you can buy a plain half-smoke at Ben’s, but it still costs $9.25
