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 Galacticos are in the Great White North

Real Madrid (with new acquisition Xabi Alonso from Liverpool in tow) made an in-store appearance at the three floor adidas Concept Store at Dundas Square in downtown Toronto, Canada. Los Blancos will be playing FC Toronto in a friendly match at the BMO Field on August 7 at 7pm.

FC Toronto is in the middle of their division and six points behind the Colombus Crew in the MLS as of this writing.
Skipper Raul waves to the fans. It was a meet and greet with a press con.
