There's more than one way to score runs

The Athletics are leading the league with smoke and mirrors.  Hey that is fine by me.  Some how they are finding ways to string hits together and get the win.  You will never see them as a strong home run or power team and yet they have amazing games like today.  The above linked article is really good talking about how the Athletics are able to have such a low home run average and a relatively high runs scored average.  I love the scrappy factor abut the Athletics. We are composed of guys like Ellis that fly under the national radar but that are amazing and get the job done without pomp and circumstance.  It is so important to have players that play the game the way it was meant to be played and for the right reasons.  So many of the Athletics are that way.  I would take scrappy over the Yankees any day.
