Summary: I have dusted off my couch and heated up my popcorn machine in anticipation of Wednesday’s titanic wild-card clash, A’s vs. Yankees in New York. I don’t root for teams, but I do root for good stories, and the A’s are the best story in baseball. As former A’s executive M.C. Hammer would say, you can’t touch this. But one cautionary note: Do not fall for the big lie. The A’s phenomenal success this season doesn’t prove you can win without spending money.
