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.

Friday around the horn

Neil Funk, the original "Ka-Boom" and "Down the well she goes," and ex-Bulls forward-center Stacey King are calling the match between Chicago and Dallas! But Funk should zip it. He talks too much like some local sportscasters who don't know when to shut up.

Nick Swisher goes to the New York Yankees. Now, they should get CC Sabathia because their pitching staff really sucks.

Did you see the way Shaq cleared them Rockets with one arm? Now that is Superman!

Big win by the Lakers over the Hornets at New Orleans! What a shot by Kobe over James Posey. Doesn't that remind you of Michael Jordan's shot over Gerald Wilkins when the Cavs acquired him from the Knicks to be the Jordan stopper?
