The freewheeling consortium blog about baseball, still hating George Bush, the weather, Chicago, live-blogging the End Times, the Chicago hot dog (NO KETCHUP!), inane rambling, and forever and always hating George Bush. ~ "Baseball is more than a game to me, it's a religion." -- Bill Klem, umpire. ~ "They're really behind ya around here..." -- Lee Elia, former manager ~

Dey wanted to sound sophisticated. De word "book" ain't that sophisticated. Gotta use terms like "reference materials", "catalogues" (not that mamby-pamby American "catalogs" spelling), and throw in terms nobody's ever heard of, like "microfiche." Dat way dey sound all classy, & smiff knows to steer clear.
