Purefoods-Ginebra

I scored tickets for tomorrow night's Purefoods-Ginebra game at the Araneta, and I've got an extra ticket. Anyone want to come?

By the way, as a lifelong Purefoods fan, I'm totally expecting them to get pasted by Ginebra. They've finished last for what now, five conferences running? I don't expect them to do much better this conference either, not as long as Ryan Gregorio (the bane of every Purefoods fan's existence) is at the helm.

Then again, I'm the same idiot who predicted an 0-12 slate for the Fighting Maroons, so if Purefoods does really well this conference, I will happily admit that I was wrong.

(Of course, if they do stink it up, I will happily admit that I was right.)

But it should still be fun to watch, with King James and Mark the Spark trading bombs. I just don't understand why they put the game on a Wednesday night instead of a weekend, when it features the league's best box-office matchup. Ginebra is, of course, the most popular team in the league, while Purefoods, even with the terrible record, still has the most popular old guy (Cap) and the most popular new ones (Yap and Artadi).

(Yeah, San Miguel is right up there in terms of fan support, but Danny I is a wuss.)

So there. See you tomorrow night!
