Good morning! I'm back. After not eating dinner Sunday night, I am here again. Afterall, I was never a quitter. Especially when it comes to my passion for Ginebra. Tested.
So, tomorrow is the battle of streaks, if i may say. Why? For Tropang Texters, since they are on a 10-game winning streak this conference and for Gin Kings, well, the magic hasn't tarnished.. yes, they have been winning straight in their last 8 or 9 out-of-town games (somebody correct me please!!!)? Yes? Yes. So, as I was saying, this is going to be the battle of winning streaks. For Talk N Text, they will face the challenge of playing Gin Kings, the most loved team in the league. Imagine hearing "WALK OUT! WALK OUT! WALK OUT!" again.. Oh! And the famous "Gi-neb-ra! Gi-neb-ra! Gi-neb-ra!" chant.. Oh! This is going to be one helluva game, no one would dare miss.
Eric Menk was said to sit out for 2 or more games due to a strained muscle. And Ronald Tubid will be out tomorrow to serve his one-game suspension because of the Flagrant Foul Penalty 2 called against him last game when he allegedly extended an elbow to Jireh Ibañes of Rain or Shine Elasto Painters.
Mildon Ambres, Ginebra's 2nd import this season (who succeeded NBA veteran Awvee Storey) will now be replaced by Denham Brown (please open another tab and google it!). An insider said that he will arrive today. So, the crowd can't be sure yet if we'll see some action tomorrow.
In lieu with this, we will expect to see more playing time for our local heroes Mark Caguioa, Jayjay Helterbrand, and even new kabarangay Willie Miller.
Okay, I think this is getting boring now. I myself is not a fan of long articles. Please follow me for more information re: Ginebra and of course for your daily dose of random rants from me.. Hehe! http://twitter.com/thaniathania5 thanks much!!!

Ginebra Lives Another Day, Displays Never-Say-Die Spirit
Barangay Cebu rejoices as Ginebra displays their Never-Say-Die attitude when they trip Alaska Aces in their out-of-town game last night, May 22, 2010.
Eric Menk showed some muscles as he owned the night with conference-high 25 points (and was later declared as the Best Player of the Game).
"Our players played their hearts out and that's just the way the Ginebra team should play come what may." Ginebra mentor Jong Uichico said.
Diamon Simpson on the other hand led the Aces with 24 points.
Cyrus Baguio, a former GinKing, finished with 17 points, and Tony Dela Cruz and Joe DeVance had 11 each.
Ginebra 105 – Menk 25, Caguioa 20, Miller 12, Helterbrand 12, Ambres 10, Tubid 9, Hatfield 8, Villanueva 4, De Ocampo 3, Wilson 2, Cruz 0.
Alaska 93 – Simpson 24, Baguio 17, Dela Cruz 11, DeVance 11, Tenorio 9, Thoss 7, Fonacier 6, Borboran 4, Eman 2, Hugnatan 2, Dela Pena 0.

Sta. Lucia Realtors Stunned Ginebra Kings, 86-72
It was our Kings' 2nd game for this conference and still, I was not able to watch it. I have not seen the 2 games even on TV -- super busy. I feel sorry too that I was not able to have this blog updated for the longest time. 1st game, our team won versus Talk N Text Tropang Texters 97-90. Awvee Storey made a shocking 33 points and Mark "The Spark" Caguioa exploded with 19 points. Caguioa was declared the Best Player of the Game. However, in it's 2nd game this conference, Ginebra was stunned by Sta. Lucia Realtors as the latter owned all 4 quarters of the game 25-20, 44-39, 61-54, 86-72. SLR leaders were Johnson 22, Reyes 14 and Williams 13. And on the Kings' side, Storey contributed 13 points, his score way too low compared to his performance in their first game, Jayjay Helterbrand added 12, Baguio 9 and Caguioa 8. Last conference, Urbiztondo of SLR was ill-marked by some kabarangays who witnessed him talk-smacking Caguioa in one of their games. Caguioa at that time, alongside Helterbrand was not playing due to his knee injury. Die-hard fans who were furious at that incident said "Tingnan natin yabang mo pag naglaro si Caguioa!" (Let's see what you can do once Caguioa is back.) Now in their first encounter, Urbiztondo added 9 points for his team evidently outscoring Mark's 8 points. But, is this really much of an issue? Do we even have to talk about this? If that one game shows Urbiztondo is better than Caguioa in all aspects, then we are in real sh*tty talk here. A single game won't make you a superstar. A single game won't make you THE FURIOUS overnight. And you can never earn respect if you are like that. Yeah, like that. So, I guess, clearly, we shouldn't really be explaining things, or justifying things, to evidently say Mark Caguioa is waaaaaaaaaay too good to be compared to some, no-names. Yeah, no-names. I will be seeing you PBA sometime April, once Rudy Hatfield is back. I am also looking forward to seeing my super duper ultra mega to the max love team, Ginebra. :)

Alaska Trips Menk-Less Ginebra
How hard is it for Ginebra to play without Eric "Major Pain" Menk? Especially when they are dealing with Alaska, whose players are way too big than the Kings. Eric was sidelined last night in the Semifinals Game 2 when he re-injured himself with a pulled groin and veteran guard Celino Cruz, also in the injured list when he twisted his ankle. Both players, were seen in casual wear last night. The answer, very hard. It was difficult to watch, really. They lost, 90-82 and the series is now at 0-2.
Although, i must commend the other players who stepped up last night and tried really hard to help the team win. Kevyn White, yeah, the guy wearing jersey number 5, Ginebra's rookie, contributed 7pts, that includes a 3-pointer. Then after a number of attempts, Jayjay Helterbrand finally made it, fired a 3-pointer. Other players who almost sparked were, Mark Caguioa, Ronald Tubid, Willie Wilson, Cyrus Baguio, Billy Mamaril, and Sunday Salvacion. Too bad the team, despite all efforts didn't make it, leaving the crowd shocked and glued to their seats. What more can we say but, "bawi na lang next game" (let's get even next game) and, "never say die!" Hopefully, tomorrow, Ginebra is able to finally get that supernatural favor from Him. Til next entry, fellas!

Keep The Faith! Nagsisimula Pa Lang Ang Laban!
I have been closely monitoring blogs, article news, writeups in the past few days, especially after the historical Quarterfinals Series where Ginebra dethroned Talk N Text last February 7, 2009.
Sabi ng mayabang kong katext (kilala mo na kung sino ka), "O, arangkada ng Ginebra walang nakaawat o! 6th man ang crowd e, sira ang laro ng Walk N Text, magtambol na lang sila!" Sabi pa ng isa, "O, di pa 100% ang Fast and the Furious nyan ha!" And there would be endless stories to share, PAG NANANALO ANG GINEBRA. True! At pag talo? Walang naguusap sa facebook, busy ang status ng mga online sa ym, walang nagti-tweet, at aminin nyo, walang naghahapunan. Even on papers! Walang bumibili ng dyaryo, walang masulat, hmmn, tanong ko yan kahapon e. Dahil ba, yung mga writers, kabarangay din? Ü
And last Wednesday, after 5 grueling games, our beloved Barangay Ginebra Kings has been defeated by the Alaska Aces. Ouch! It's really painful not to see them win but it's much painful to see them fight eventhough you see them battered by their own weak bodies. Hindi na Alaska ang kalaban nila kundi sarili nila. Kita yung pagod sa kanila, esp kay Eric who got himself re-injured, pulled groin, then Celino, JC, Willie, Cyrus, Ronald, Enrico, lahat sila. But you know, this is when WE LOVE OUR TEAM THE MOST. Pag nadedehado. Because we know, this is when we are stronger, this is when we roar louder, this is when we stand up, to fight, to continue the battle. Nagsisimula pa lang ang laban. And knowing Ginebra, babawi kami, lalaban kami.
And before I end this entry, my eyes now swelling with mist, or, is it tears? Uhm. Well, i just can't help smiling every time i would remember Mark's performance last game. 23pts and he's still not 100% okay. And Kevyn White who fired two three-points! I just go speechless.
So, kabarangay, pagkatapos mong basahin to, offer a short prayer, as always, lagi nating ginagawa to, pagpray natin ang team.
Go ginebra! Fight, ginebra, fight! We never say die!

Purefoods Trips Ginebra, KEVYN WHITE, Almost A Hero
Roger Yap led the Purefoods TJ Giants to trip Ginebra off its winning streak as the 2nd Round of 2010 KFC Philippine Cup Elimination Series continues, 88-81. It was an off night for the Kings if I may say, as Ronald Tubid, hero of their last two games was not seen action, finishing 8 points only.
PJ Simon contributed 14 points to help the TJ Giants snatch the win from the injury-infested Barangay Ginebra Kings.
Kings Rookie KEVYN WHITE, who scored 10 points in the 3rd quarter made his presence felt as he gave the entire barangay crowd a lift, in spirit, in morale and made every Giant's confidence skip down to zero. During his amazing moments, his closest in the team, Jayjay Helterbrand and Erik Menk were seen with big smiles and skipping and jumping in happiness, too. Mark Caguioa said that they pushed to give more minutes to their promising rookie as they know what he can do in the hardcourt.
Junthy Valenzuela is said to play next week and Celino Cruz in 3 weeks.
The scores:
PUREFOODS 89 - Yap R. 21, Simon 14, Yap J. 13, Maierhofer 9, Pingris 9, Reavis 8, Allado 8, Artadi 7, Timberlake 0, Salvador 0, adducul 0.
GINEBRA 81 - Baguio 19, White 14, Mamaril 10, Tubid 8, Menk 8, Abbarientos 7, Intal 6, Wilson 3, Salvacion 3, Alvarez 2, Villanueva 1.
QUARTERSCORES: 24-19, 43-34, 65-57, 89-81.

Ginebra Time Tomorrow!
Hello fellas! :) Ginebra time tomorrow! :) I know we are all excited to see the team again. But also, a part of us will always be worried about the players not able to play tomorrow. First is Willie Wilson, team's power forward as he was called against for a flagrant foul penalty 2 on their game vs Coke last November 27. Second is Mr. Fearless himself Ronald Tubid, who in their last game contributed 33 big points -- he mentioned he has a dislocated finger then, and although I have not talked to him about this, I am thinking that that could be the reason for him to rest for one game. And then thirdly, Celino Cruz who hurt himself in the wrist when he dived to save a ball on their game vs Talk N Text Tropang Texters. I am really worried about the team, Mark Caguioa is out, Jayjay Helterbrand is not playing, and veteran Junthy Valenzuela is out for the entire conference. Let us continuously pray for the team. People expected to show exceptional ball skills are Cyrus Baguio, JC Intal, Billy Mamaril, Rich Alvarez and rookie Kevyn White who will be given more minutes with the absence of Celino Cruz.

Music Bisig Para Sa Mga Bida
I got the information about this charity concert about a week ago, a member of this family sent a group message, saying she was able to catch the advertisement via Brgy LS FM. I then had to confirm it with Tatay (Ginebra staff) and he gladly advised me of the much-needed details.
It was said that there'll be local bands playing, that there'll be a raffle for everyone, yadida-dida.. but the most delicious news there is, is that the Barangay Ginebra Kings will also be there for an autograph-signing of some sort! Weee! :)
So much for the pasa-calle. We went there, Aura, Patrice, Aryen and myself. Antipolo is not very far away from Manila. Just 45-60 mins travel time, I think. But it was all worth it. Ginebra will be there, too!!!
Thanks to Kuya Junjun, he accompanied us all the way to the backstage (whoa! Instant VIP access) where we saw our very own GinKings -- Ronald Tubid, Sunday Salvacion, Cyrus Baguio, Junjun Cabatu, Billy Mamaril, Rich Alvarez, JC Intal, Junthy Valenzuela and Mr. Furious himself, Mark Caguioa.
Too bad, we can't upload the pictures yet, for some reasons. But, we will, soon. As soon as possible, promise.
We actually didn't wait for them to go upstage, since we noticed that it is almost drizzling, we didn't bring umbrellas, we decided to go home as early as 6:30 PM.
It was all fun fun fun! :)

Alapag VS Alapag-White Tomorrow
The Barangay Ginebra Kings will face defending Champions Talk N Text tomorrow at 7:00 pm, at the Araneta Coliseum as the Elimination Round of the 2009 KFC-PBA Philippine Cup continues.
Crowd-favorite Ginebra will continue to miss the services of top-gunner Mark Caguioa and Sunday Salvacion who are still sidelined by their injuries (knee and calf respectively). However, cagers to watch out for are Jayjay Helterbrand, Cyrus Baguio, Ronald Tubid, JC Intal and big men Erik Menk, Willie Wilson and Billy Mamaril.
Both teams are halted by Alaska (TNT) and Sta. Lucia (BGK) so we could be expecting some hard-hitting and breath-taking action. Ginebra rookie Kevyn White is also expected to be showing some exciting perimeter shots as he has been of good offensive standing in their games vs Smart Gilas (that includes a buzzerbeater), Rain Or Shine Elasto Painters (7pts) and Sta. Lucia Realtors (4pts). He will also be playing against his Uncle Jimmy Alapag's team, Talk N Text, this sure is one exciting game we wouldn't wanna miss.

Caguioa-less and Helterbrand-less Ginebra grabbed solo second place as they beat the Barako Bulls, 94-86 last night at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City.

"Pakiramdam ko putol ang daliri ko. Parang sumabit sa baller ni Paolo (Hubalde). Dapat talaga ipagbawal ang kung ano-anong sinusuot ng mga players outside of the playing uniform," said Abarrientos.
Scores:
Ginebra 94 - Baguio 22, Tubid 17, Villanueva 14, Menk 12, Cruz 10, Salvacion 7, Wilson 6, Intal 2, Alvarez 2, Mamaril 2, White 0, Abarrientos 0.

Ginebra "Gin Kings" Exact Revenge on San Miguel "Beermen": 98-86

Ginebra "Gin Kings" Exact Revenge on San Miguel "Beermen": 98-86
by Randall Parker
Scribe Written on October 14, 2009

Barangay Ginebra "Gin Kings" vs. San Miguel "Beermen"
MANILA, PHILIPPINES - The teams begin league play with a revenge match, after facing each other in the Fiesta Conference Finals just three months ago. In that series, the Gin Kings led 3-2 going into the sixth game, but dropped the next two games to give the Beermen the Fiesta Conference Championship.
These two teams also met in the Philippine Cup Playoffs last year, with the Beermen winning the Quarterfinal series 2-1.
The Ginebra team returns largely intact, with ten of last year's roster members remaining. They drafted Kevin White (5-11, 185 lbs) 19th overall in the second round of the recent PBA draft, and they acquired three other players via the trade board.
San Miguel has no rookies, but added three new players, including All-Star Arwind Santos, while retaining eleven from last year's squad. San Miguel and defending Philippine Cup Champion Talk 'N Text share the distinction of not having any rookies this year.
The first half was well-contended by both teams, as the teams and the fans came out screaming.
The Beermen took the first quarter 29-21 behind 8 points from Danny Ildefonso and 7 points from Mick Pennisi.
In the second quarter, Ginebra struck back, eventually tying the game at 32-apiece, with 6:09 remaining in the half.
The crowd began chanting "Gin-e-bra!" and the team responded, outscoring the Beermen 28-14 in the second quarter, and went into halftime with a 49-43 lead.
Leading the comeback for the Gin Kings was JayJay Helterbrand with 7 points and 3 boards, but this was clearly a team effort, as seven players scored in the quarter.
With the crowd squarely behind them, Ginebra kept the Beermen at bay throughout the second half, with the brewery boys never posing a serious threat.Ginebra was led by Eric Menk with 19 points and 9 rebounds, Mark Caguioa, and Jayjay Helterbrand with 17 points apiece and 2 and 7 rebounds, respectively. Ronald Tubid (12 pts, 9 rebs) and Willy Wilson (10 pts, 4 rebs) also scored in double figures.
For the Beermen, Danny Idelfonso posted 19 points and 2 rebounds, while Mike Cortez was his only teammate in double figures with 10 points and 2 rebounds. Arwind Santos and Donan Pena were board wizards, with 12 and 15 rebounds.
Both teams played well and with intensity, but the Gin Kings put the pieces in place better for this tie-up.
Cyrus Baguio, who was the star for the PowerAde-Filipinas National Team at the FIBA-Asia tournament didn't score much, with only four points, but had two rebounds, an assist, a steal, and a block, in 13 minutes of play.
The Beermen face the Alaska Aces this Saturday, in Davao. Next up for the Gin Kings are the Purefoods "Tender Juicy Giants" on Sunday at Araneta Coliseum in Manila.
