A-Rod AL MVP but........

That is the regular season MVP. I'm not going to sit here and act like what he has done thus far isn't amazing. It is unreal. A season unmatched by any Yankee but the immortal ones. Without A-Rod's performance this "regular season" who knows where the Yankees would be in the standings. I doubt they would be sitting with a Magic # of 15. He has played well from the start of the season. His numbers are insane and with 19 games left they will get even more disturbing....but what does that matter come October? To put into words I come up with one, NOTHING.....When the calendar turns to October it all doesn't matter anymore. It becomes a new season. A season the Yankees have had plenty of experience in but as of the last few years leave with no cause for celebration. A-rod has helped contribute to the failures the last few seasons but he wasn't alone. He has been labeled a man who can't handle the pressure. A man who crumbles under the spotlight. Well folks, I got a feeling that is all about to change. This isn't the A-rod from 2004, nor is it the A-rod from 2005 and it isn't the A-rod of 2006. This is a new man who has been embraced by the Yankee fans. A man who has once again shown his joy for playing the game of baseball. You can actually see the amount of fun being had in the dugout between A-Rod and ALL his teammates. Even the guys in the bullpen have been involved in joking with him. This is the first time he has been this way since he arrived. Finally comfortable in the Bronx! Will this translate over to him coming up big with the game on the line? Only time will tell but this Yankee fan believes A-Rod is going to do some special things this October. He can't win the world series all by himself. This is still a team game but with the help of the other 24 guys they sure as hell can win it all. Get ready for the ride. It won't be like the last 2 years when our season was cut short....No no no, not this year. It's a different A-Rod and a different Yankee ball club. Prepare yourself for many long October nights as the Yankees are playing late into October....This year my beloved Yankees will be WORLD CHAMPS yet again!
