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.)

April 7, 2024 – Nats 3, Phillies 2

https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/WAS/WAS202404070.shtml

 

Time: 2:31

Attendance: 24,765

Seats: Section 313, Row E, Seats 18-19 (back to our usual aisle seats, thank goodness)

 

So, neither wearing my Phillie Phanatic cap nor providing a cheering counterpoint to the inevitable ocean of boos for Bryce Harper helped this afternoon. Oh well – at least it was a win for the “new” home team.

 

It was well-deserved. The Phils managed only 5 hits against MacKenzie Gore and 3 relievers, none of which came after the 5th inning. Reserve infielder Edmundo Sosa had a 2-out RBI single in the 2nd and a somewhat surprising home run into the visitors’ bullpen in the 5th. Their baserunning was nothing to write home about, either.

 

Meanwhile, Philadelphia starter Cristopher Sánchez had trouble locating his pitches, and many of the ones that did cross the plate were hit hard. The Nats also stole 5 bases without being caught, 3 of them by Lane Thomas. I’m still not sure how they only managed to score single runs in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th, but it wound up being enough.
