Game Thread: An ALDS rematch with a glimpse of ’09

The Yanks face off against the Indians today in Tampa. Hopefully, midges won’t attack the field.

On the mound, the Yanks’ ace Chien-Ming Wang hopes for another solid start while the Indians are countering with C.C. Sabathia. If this sounds familiar, well, just think back to October. And think ahead to 2009 because I fully expect the Yanks to put on the full-court press for Sabathia come the off-season.

The game is on YES and MLB.tv. You an follow along here via Gameday. As the lineups show, the Yanks are going with something of a mixed squad today.
