We Have All Been Here Before...

Will AJ be the "Posada" AJ tonight?  Will Pettitte then get roughed up by the Angels, as he has a couple times this year?  Will the series go 7 and Jeter's cold (more popularly known these days as "flu-like symptoms") wipe out the entire Yankee clubhouse, prompting the clubhouse boy to be promoted to replace assistant trainer Steve Donohue?  Will this be a repeat of '04 when Arod and the Yanks beat Minnesota before getting a big series lead against the Red Sox?

These are the thoughts that slip into my mind during weak moments.  But unlike '04, I like to counter them with "Oh thank God we don't have to rely on Javy Vasquez and Kevin Brown", neither of whom, I'm guessing, will have the honor of throwing out the first ball at the Stadium any time soon.
