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 Bataan Risers take stock of their current 8-match win streak



by rick olivares

The Bataan Risers are currently the hottest team in the Datu’s Cup of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League. Following their 76-69 conquest of the tough Cebu Sharks, the Risers now are in the midst of an eight-match win streak; the longest in league history.

We spoke to some players about their thoughts of this streak.

Gary David
Sa akin, ginagawa ko lang ang best ko every game. Pumupunta ako sa game ang mindset ko ay mananalo kami. Game to game lang lagi at hindi ko tinitignan ang susunod. Basta game day, kung sino yung kalaban doon ako naka-focus.

Tapos mamalayan mo na lang susunod na panalo niyo. Basta good game plan at kundisyon ang katawan ang laging importante bago ka sumabak sa laro. Yung ang sikreto sa mga panalo na ito.

Byron Villarias
Every game lagi namin iniisip na one game at a time. Hindi puwede marami kang iniisip. Focus lang. At siyempre, sa team, kasama na ang coaching staff at management, tulungan lang at sumunod sa game plan. Yan ang formula.

Gab Daganon
Pinapakita lang namin na isang team talaga kami kasi iisa lang ang goal namin. Kahit na wala pa talaga kami sa tamang form kung baga may ibubuga ang Bataan Risers.

Mark Pangilinan
We have been doing a good job on and off the court kaya siguro nakuha namin yung eight-game win streak. Sana tuloy tuloy na ‘to.

Robbie Celiz
Yung effort na pinakita namin sa streak na ito, hindi lang dapat tuloy tuloy pero ihigit ang effort kasi mas mahirap pa yung mga kalaban. One game at a time ang mindset. At sumunod sa Sistema at game plan.

Jeepy Faundo
Sa game siyempre, ibibigay natin yung best. Pero yung best na yun dapat higit 100% kasi baka kapusin. Mas matindi pa mga makakalaban natin. Pero masarap ang mga panalo na ‘to.

Jayjay Alejandro

We struggled throughout the game against Cebu but the bench really stepped up particularly in the second half. The good thing about our team is anybody can shine at any given time. That has helped us in this win streak.
