You roll outta bed and down on your knees/ And for a moment, you can hardly breathe/
- J. Mayer, 2009
Is it safe to come out yet? Is the sun not going to burn a hole in my heart?
What is left of it, anyway.
We have been very honest about the Alaska Aces being our 2nd favorite PBA team (next only to the Rain or Shine Elastopainters, mostly for their similarities from style of play to overall team values), and it pains us to see them on the losing end of what will go down as THE most historic PBA Philippine Cup Finals (or any PBA Finals at that) versus the eventual champions San Miguel Beermen. How can you not feel sorry for Coach Alex Compton and his wards; after going up 3-0 against a 2x PBA MVP-less Junemar Fajardo bunch, they squander Game 4 then 5, 6 and finally, 7, all in heartbreaking fashion.
What is next for the Aces? How can you rebuild from this?
