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.

The Sports Ticker

Major League Baseball - American League East
Tampa Bay Devil Rays 57-40
Boston Red Sox 57-42
New York Yankees 53-45 4.5 games back and on a three-game winning streak

Souped-up Germany makes it to the Olympics.

C'mon, if Chris Kaman is German then Sam Ekwe is Filipino. Hmm. Does that make any sense? But if the land of Mercedes Benzes and frankfurters can make Lukas Podolski, Miroslav Klose, David Odonkor, and Gerald Asamoah play for the German flag then I guess anything's possible.

The world literally is a smaller place now what with cross-marriages and naturalization. So how many Americans does the German squad have? Three?

Whatever happened to Dennis Balore?
The football referee, caught for taking pictures and videos of female volleyball players inside their locker rooms, posted bail some time ago. I called up NCFRA's Jojo Rodriguez and he has no clue where Balore is or what happened to the case. Oh sa mga media nagbabasa nito meron na naman kayong scoop sa Brew.
