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

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.
