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 6, 2018 – Nats 3, Marlins 2 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 32,652
Duration: 3:13
Weather: 85 degrees, Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 11 MPH In From Center
Umpires: HP: Mike DiMuro. 1B: Mark Wegner. 2B: Jim Reynolds. 3B: John Tumpane.
 
Section 318, Row C, Seats 3-5 (about halfway between home and first base)
 
Game notes – Gio struggled with his pitch count from the outset, finally giving up a run in the top of the 3rd … Nats took the lead an inning later when Rendon and Harper drew walks to start the inning, followed by RBI singles from Eaton and Difo … Gonzalez issued a bases-loaded walk in the top of the 5th to tie the score, but then finished his 114-pitch outing by fanning Justin Bour and Garrett Cooper … Rendon and Harper also led off the bottom of the 8th with walks, followed by a Matt Adams infield single, but Washington stranded all 3 runners … Mark Reynolds pinch-hit for Doolittle to lead off the 9th and hit a walk-off HR to left
 
Other – comfortable evening after several days of intense heat and humidity … long concession lines despite a less-than-sellout crowd for the Bryce Harper bobblehead
