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.

Holding the Fort for Internazionale



Inter Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic has always been a smooth player who could score goals that seemed so effortless. I always thought that he was just another good player in Juventus line-up during those pre-calciopoli days. But now with so many of his teammates out of commission -- Patrick Vieira, Luis Figo, Dejan Stankovic, and Olivier Dacourt -- it's a wonder that Inter remains unbeaten in 14 matches. A lot of the team's early success should be attributed to Ibrahimovic who has become an even better player (he has scored 14 goals including in Europe, but he just has to learn how to curb his anger). "The title is not yet decided, there are many games left," he said. "We have to keep winning as we have done up until now. But we have to keep our concentration and play well." You think they'll stay ahead of Old Lady to win the Serie A for a third straight year?
