A's in the Playoffs!

What an unbelievable season the A's have had! We traded away our best pitchers, our favorite catcher. Lost our remaining veterans to injury and drug bust. Kept having to tap into the minors and picking up players from the scrap heap. Somehow the motley crew coalesced. Somehow they developed confidence. Maybe it was doing the Bernie dance and staying loose. Or maybe the drug testing finally leveled the playing field. Beane was again a genius, getting ahead of the curve.
