NEW YORK | While the Philadelphia Phillies rest and wait for the World Series to begin Wednesday, the two teams hoping to be their opponent have unfinished business. </p><p> The Los Angeles Angels stayed alive with Thursday night&rsquo;s 7-6 comeback win over the New York Yankees in game five of the American League Championship Series. </p><p> Trailing the best-of-seven series 3-2, the Angels face the difficult task of winning two games at Yankee Stadium. </p><p> No one in either locker room is thinking right now about the Phillies. The Yankees are concerned that they couldn&rsquo;t put a gritty Angels team away. </p><p> It was the Angels&rsquo; eighth career comeback playoff win over the Yankees, including both wins in this year&rsquo;s ALCS. </p><p> &ldquo;You never know what will happen,&rdquo; Angels third baseman Chone Figgins said in the locker room after Thursday&rsquo;s win. &ldquo;There is always a chance.&rdquo; </p><p> The Angels realize that while they staved off elimination, beating the Yankees twice at their ballpark won&rsquo;t be easy. The Yankees took the first two games in this series at home. </p><p> The Angels&rsquo; challenge is even more pronounced in tonight&rsquo;s game, when they will try to beat a pitcher who is tied for the most wins in postseason history. </p><p> The Yankees&rsquo; Andy Pettitte will oppose Joe Saunders in a battle of accomplished left-handers. </p><p> Pettitte, 37, has a career 15-9 record in the postseason. He is tied with John Smoltz for the most career postseason victories. </p><p> This will be Pettitte&rsquo;s third start of the postseason and second in this series. He is 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA in the two starts. Pettitte got a no-decision in a 5-4 loss in 11 innings to the Angels in game three on Monday. </p><p> He allowed three earned runs in 6 1/3 innings. The key hit against Pettitte was Vladimir Guerrero&rsquo;s two-run home run in the sixth inning. </p><p> Pettitte, who was 14-8 with a 4.16 ERA in the regular season, is making his 38th career postseason start, but he downplays his wealth of experience. </p><p> &ldquo;All that experience or whatever is not going to help me when I go out in the first inning and help my pitches be where they need to be,&rdquo; he said after Thursday&rsquo;s loss. &ldquo;Hopefully, I get everything going and give this team a &lsquo;quality start,&rsquo; a good start, and give us a chance to win that game.&rdquo; </p><p> Saunders, an All-Star in 2008, was 16-7 with a 4.60 ERA this season. He is making his second start this postseason. Saunders got a no-decision in game two when the Yankees scored a 4-3 win in 13 innings. He allowed two earned runs in seven innings.</p><p> &ldquo;It&rsquo;s going to be the usual Yankee hostile environment,&rdquo; Saunders, 28, said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s going to be a lot of fun.&rdquo; </p><p> Derek Jeter is used to the environment, but he hasn&rsquo;t been in this spot for five years: a victory at Yankee Stadium away from making another World Series. </p><p> You can&rsquo;t really tell with Jeter. Nothing changes for him. </p><p> &ldquo;The more you do something, the more comfortable you get with it, I guess,&rdquo; he said before the Yankees&rsquo; workout at the stadium on Friday. &ldquo;Everyone gets butterflies. If you treat every game the same, you&rsquo;re able to slow things down a little bit.&rdquo; </p><p> He seemed a little sluggish and his voice was scratchy from the illness he&rsquo;s been fighting &mdash; he described his health as &ldquo;fine&rdquo; &mdash; but it&rsquo;s the same old Jeter, even though he hasn&rsquo;t been in an ALCS game six since 2004, during Boston&rsquo;s comeback from a 3-1 deficit. </p><p>The Yankees already have missed one chance to clinch this year&rsquo;s ALCS, but comparisons between the 2004 series and now are silly to Jeter. He doesn&rsquo;t get too invested in momentum, which the Angels seem to feel they have after surviving game five.</p><p> &ldquo;Coming into this series, all the talk was how they&rsquo;ve dominated us over the years, how they were going to be a big problem for us,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;And then we&rsquo;re up 3-1, we lose one game and people say we wasted an opportunity and what&rsquo;s wrong with the Yankees. &hellip; Last I checked, I think we&rsquo;re in pretty good shape.&rdquo;
