Pregame concerns: Giambi has a sore thumb resulting for a botched grounder last night, but is obviously OK enough to be in the lineup. ... The Yankees are facing another ex-Yankee, so look for Michael Kay to ask David Cone or Paul O'Neill if Posada will have an advantage facing Vazquez. ... Mussina is 8-9 with a 4.22 ERA in 19 career starts at U.S. Cellular Field. ... Vazquez is 1-3 with a 5.25 ERA in four career starts against New York.
