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.

Next time let's give the fans some golf balls...

The PBA Commissioner’s Office suspended and fined San Miguel Beermen Danny Ildefonso and Marc Pingris for charging into the stands after a heckler following their Game 2 victory over Ginebra San Miguel in the Motolite PBA Fiesta Conference Finals Friday at the Araneta Coliseum.

Ildefonso, who ran all the way from the other side of the court at the buzzer, was suspended for one game and fined P30,000. Pingris, who played huge in the all-important win that leveled the series at one game a-piece, rushed to Ildefonso’s aid and was suspended for one game and fined P10,000.

It is reported that Ildefonso and Pingris were profuse in apologizing to the PBA, to the viewers and the fans in a meeting with Commissioner Sonny Barrios. Word is the two also wanted to personally apologize to the heckler for their actions.

WTF!!!

So what did the PBA do regarding the heckler? Is he banned from watching? Is there any sanction for this sonafabitch?

Now that puts San Miguel in a bind and gives Ginebra an advantage on Sunday. If someone heckles the PBA officials and umangal sila I'm heaving a whole pizza on the floor of the Araneta Coliseum.

And since we're on the PBA... some guys don't look happy at all to win some awards? Why not? A Ducati would be better. Bwahaha!
