BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

A great sports read...




I picked up this book at Kinokuniya at the Siam Paragon Mall in Bangkok. A great read that bridges Gerard Houllier's last year and Rafael Benitez' spectacular first season with the Reds. Expertly written and a must for all football fans. I just bought a few reading materials; this and two magazines. Spanish expat, Balague who lived in Liverpool for quite some time has the inside story of that most memorable campaign that culminated with a Champions League victory over AC Milan (of course, Milan returned the favor this year in Athens).

I am somewhere in the first 75 pages and will post an interesting excerpt on the "coincidences" and signs of a Liverpool victory tomorrow.
