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 31, 2022 – Nats 5, Athletics 1

Time: 2:51

Attendance: 26,416

 

The shirt is now 3-0! We kept our switched seats as well, which may have helped.

 

Anibál Sanchez continued his recent turnaround, giving up a solo homer to Oakland rookie 1B Dermis Garcia in the second but otherwise keeping the visitors off the board through seven innings. The A’s did mount a threat against closer Kyle Finnegan in a 9th inning that featured four pinch-hitters, the last of whom he fanned with the bases loaded to finish things off. Meanwhile, the Nats scored all the runs they needed in a 4-run bottom of the 5th, featuring a leadoff walk to CJ Abrams, RBI singles by Josh Palacios and Luís Garcia, and a two-run Luke Voit HR.

 

There were a couple traffic backups on the way down, but the return trip was faster than for our typical Sunday games. The $16.00 “Original Chicken” sandwich from Roaming Rooster wasn’t bad, although pricey even by Nats Park standards. (Suggestion: try a chicken sandwich from Popeye’s at less than 1/3 the price.)
