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.

And it's Thursday...


Team USA beat Switzerland 2-0 in the quarterfinals of the Men's Ice Hockey Tournament. They got two goals from Zach Parise in the third quarter to beat the pesky Swiss for the second time in the competition. Now, Parise's full name is Zachary America and is from Minnesota (but he plays for the New Jersey Devils). When you're named after your country then the team's alternate captain has the weight of a country on his shoulders. How do you beat that?


On social networking, Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella said, "I'm really not a Facebook or Twitter guy, you know? I'm a prime rib and baked potato guy."

Jose Mourinho, the supreme egotist, put one over his old club as Inter Milan beat Chelsea 2-1 at the San Siro in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 match. Roman Abramovich must be gagging.

ESPN falls prey to another Howard Stern prank. How that even happens on Sportscenter is anyone's guess. Hahaha

Did Purefoods Coach Ryan Gregorio really say that Tim Cone is smarter than the Los Angeles Lakers' Phil Jackson? That's in the column of Tita Beth. There was no direct quote however. Lemme ask da coach who is a good friend. And his Purefoods team took Game 1 against Alaska. This is going to be one great Finals series. Enjoy it.
