AROD... The New Mr. October?

Who is this Alex Rodriguez? The ARod we know and love is a regular season monster. He puts up historic numbers. But he always folds in October. That is why we love him. This new ARod... he admitted he took PEDs, he is getting along with his teammates, is dating Kate Hudson and just carried the Yankees to the ALCS on 6 RBI in the 3-game sweep. What is going on? I feel like I am in some weird alternate universe. But it is damn good baseball to watch.
