You are right, a lot of other people are wrong.

"I'd like to think the above paragraphs will help to put an end to the myth that October is somehow different. Sabathia and Rodriguez had assembled recent track records in postseason play that served to define them as failures in the eyes of many who want to believe that success on a baseball diamond is a moral issue. You cannot evaluate baseball players on a handful of starts or plate appearances, and that remains true no matter the date. Given time, all players perform at their established levels, and that's what we're seeing now from Sabathia and Rodriguez. Would that this lesson took hold, but even I'm not that naïve."

When people say ARod has 5 HRs in his last 7 postseason games, I'd like to remind them that he hit a HR in his final 2007 postseason game.

So it's really 6 HRs in his last 8 postseason games.

Prorate that for a full season, son.
