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.

Swish to the rescue (or can you say, "Deja vu all over again?")


Nick Swisher hit a walk-off home run (photo by Bill Kostroun) off -- I so love this term -- the Fighting Showalters (in reality the Baltimore Orioles' Koji Uehara) in the bottom of the ninth.

It was his second walk-off shot with the Yankees and it comes exactly one-year ago today when he stroked that leather against the T-Bay Devil Rays.

And that propelled New York to a 3-2 win to arrest a three-game slide. 

Time to get your acts together coz it's a long road trip for the men in pinstripes.

Said manager Joe Girardi after NY pitcher AJ Burnett gave Swish the now traditional cream pie in the face after a walk-off, "Was that cream pie fresh? We haven't done that in a while."

Two on the D-Rays. Let's roll.
