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.

Better Red than Dead


The Liverpool Echo reported that it is very likely that the club might have to sell some of its star players in order to pay back loans and rising debts. Holy cow!

After Tottenham bounced them out of the Carling Cup with a 4-2 win (their second loss this season to the Spurs), LFC bounced back by shutting out Bolton 2-0 in a highly-physical match at Reebok Stadium. The win kept the Reds abreast of Chelsea which won a few hours later to stay tied in the EPL standings with 32 points apiece. They're 8 up on ManU.

Hey Fernando Torres! Wake up!

Even more controversy, the club applied for patent rights to their version of the Liver Bird, the city's mascot and symbol. But the club made it clear - their version of the Liver Bird that appears on all LFC merch that others have used unscrupulously. Other city orgs and committee's are up in arms over this move.
