On ARod...

So, it is well known that upon arrival with the Yankees, Alex Rodriguez has struggle mightily in the post season.
Now, it can't be that bad since his career average (after the division series w/ Minnesota) is 0.291, but when a big spot was up, he wasn't coming through.

I submit that he was terrified of being found out with regard to his steroid use. He saw how much Barry Bonds was vilified and feared the same happening to him. With the positive test exposed this past off-season, I believe this enabled Alex to play more loose. He seems to have a smile on his face more and seems more involved with the high-fiving, jumping around celebrations with the team than in the past.

We saw the results in the Minnesota series. Here is to AROD coming through against the Angels.

Go Yanks! and AROD!
