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.

Good luck and best wishes to Ford Arao

In the last PBL conference, Ford Arao suffered another ACL injury in a game versus Harbour Centre when Beau Belga decked him. The ACL was on his left knee but has since been successfully operated on.

This is terrible blow because Ford was going to apply for the next PBA draft. As such, he'll have to go to therapy for his injured knee and find the confidence to get his game back.

The affable big man who was on hand to watch Ateneo win the 2008 Nike Summer League said, "Buti na lang nakapagtapos ako," Ford said as he waited for his former teammates to come out of the noisy dugout.
