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.

Tuesday Morning Zingers

Manchester United is trying to get Franck Ribery from Bayern Munich? I guess that makes Cristiano Ronaldo expendable and free to go to Real Madrid. Don't you wish your club had this kind of money and star-attracting power?

I guess it's over for Liverpoool, huh?

When Shaira Gonzales crumpled to the floor after stepping on a La Salle player's foot, I'm wondering why the point was awarded to DLSU. She fell because the opposing player crossed into FEU territory and she tumbled over to the other side after that.

But the Volleyball Finals are plenty exciting.

Bud Selig is a hypocrite. Major League Baseball was willing to look the other way when all these whispers of performance enhancing drugs was going around. In fact, in many cases -- like Barry Bonds' - they were screams. But MLB ignored it because they were filling the seats. Selig and company should have cleaned this up years ago rather than let this issue get dug up again.

What a team -- Portland! What an amazing turnaround for them. Now hopefully they will stay trouble free and not be the second act of Jailblazers II.
