So, out of 30 teams, my A's have the 29th lowest payroll. Sigh.
AND they're the reigning AL West champs.

(Do online application systems even call for cover letters? I don't know that world.)
I've barely seen any resumes come through with cover letters the last couple of years. HR may see them I guess, since mine go through an initial screen. But it seems unlikely that they wouldn't pass them on.
Very small sample warning.

It's leavened spread on leavened bread, if they really start with cookies.

The ingredients list a "raising agent", so your phrase seems apt!

Wait, I saw that movie.
I know. I know. The season in the movie is 2002. It is 2013. Nothing has changed. Ok, cause I'm a number's person I had to look it up. In 2002 the A's were 28 out of 30, so one position higher. Over the last 11 years, the A's payroll has increased by 40%. Over the same period the Yankees payroll increased by 57%. (Yes, I take this all too seriously, I know).
A side note - in looking this up, I saw that the Astros were 14th in 2002 and are currently 28th. Their payroll is actually less than it was in 2002. Yikes!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Because 7 ate 9 OF COURSE.
