Brewers win on the road. Cubs lose at home. Braun should be rookie of the year (IMHO). Virtual tie for first now, Cubs have one more in loss column.

Agreed. I carry the small version of the Rewards card on my keychain, so it's always handy when I need to present it. I've also used the same coupon more than once without any problems, but perhaps they're starting to crack down on that. I used the 40% off coupon plus $5 in Borders Bucks I'd accrued to pick up the first Jazz Icons box set yesterday for about $20 cheaper than I could've gotten it for online. Granted, that's an unusual occurrence, but you can come pretty close to equaling online prices if you use the 25% and 30% off coupons. I rarely bother with the 20% off ones anymore unless I use one to pick up a single CD. I agree with both of the above.

Yep I suppose I'm the only one here rooting for the Brewers. We'll see. Only 1 game apart (and same number of losses). Both won again tonight.

I agree.

Probably not enough "squeakin' & squawckin (?sp.)'" for some of the "avant" aficionados.

Brewers back in a dead heat with the Cubs in their division. Cordero 40 saves Fielder 41 HRs

I don't really care one way or the other about this book or Ratliff - but some of you need a double espresso & to get on with the day.

I remember paying about $95 for the 65-68 set in the US (at Tower's late lamented Sunset Boulevard store, if memory is right), with discount and about 10 years ago - so taking into account general inflation over that time £49.99 starts to sound pretty good ! Today's retail is tomorrow's wholesale.

So - free is good. Are you guys doing "burns" of this type of material? Exactly what are the "ground rules" here??? I know nothing about the sites where "uncirculated" material seems to freely make the rounds (or how to use them). Apparently those are morally acceptable. Enlighten me. Thanks (I think).

More than adequate sound for me. I know we're not supposed to buy these, esp. in the U.S., but I couldn't resist.

Yes - IMHO.

Does Amazon UK automatically subtract the VAT on orders shipped to the US?

Has anyone heard Basically Baker on GM?

Many of these were underrated at the time. Time & reevaluation have increased their stature.

Cut medical costs - proctoscope yourself.

I'm very sorry to hear this. I'm reading the Miles book now & enjoying it.

Of those my favorite is Game Of Chance.

Thanks for your unbiased opinion.

He played on the streets of Milwaukee too, of all places.

I'm about halfway through this. I really like Pelecanos' writing.

I'm going to check it out too.

Just so those that are keeping track & deciding whether to obtain, I've had the Japanese reissue for years & like it a lot. BTW, "lifeless" would not have occurred to me.

I love this thread. BTW, Brewers hangin' by a thread, but still 1 1/2 games ahead of the Cubs. Nice win in Houston last night. Trailing 4-0, scored 7 runs in last 3 innings. Fielder HR #36, Cordero save #36.

Ana Castillo: The Guardians

Cadence too, I think.
