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.

Whatta win! Tttttthhhheeeee Yankees win!


Yesterday, Saturday, I was glued to ESPN watching the New York Yankees play the Minnesota Twins at the new Stadium. I haven't watched the Yanks in a while and it was difficult to write with a match in progress. Unfortunately, except for a solo Derek Jeter home run not much was going New York's way. I had to content myself to saying, "It sure is nice to see Paul O'Niell and David Cone back in the Yankee broadcaster's booth."


Until another incredible rally that I hope will finally put them on a winning groove. That come from behind victory sure set up a nice and similar version by the RP Team yesterday. 

Oh, yes. I slept soundly for only five hours on a really soft and comfy bed.

Then when I woke up, Alex Rordiguez' hit a two-run HR to win New York's second consecutive match against the Twins 6-4. That was the Third baseman's eighth walk-off home run of his career. And a mighty one at that for not only did it raise his batting average after a slow start but it gave his club a 19-17 record.

Ah, baseball...

Okay, now I'm off to the swimming pool and the sauna (part of my daily routine here in Jakarta) content like anything.
