    Just a suggestion, folks. The idea here is that the book titles / authors are supposed to be ironic, as in books on topics that you would not expect the author to be able to expound on, and hence the "thinness" of the book.

    Just trying to keep us on track!

    Dangerfield one criticism is that he thinks Kinnear was being overly negative when he said this Quakes team is "consistently OK"...

    Jair Marrufo may want to remove his name from consideration given the difficulties he experienced in the period following the last time he was named MLS Referee of the Year.

    I know it has nothing to do with the Quakes, but my all-time favorite shortest-book title is, "George Foreman's Big Book of Baby Names"
