PREGAME NOTES:
- Phil Hughes and [gasp] Carl Pavano are both scheduled to pitch for the Charleston Riverdogs tomorrow after their respective outings with the Gulf Coast Yankees was postponed due to rain.
- Yanks have won 10 straight games at the Stadium and 13 of 17 overall.
- Jeremy Guthrie 1-1, 4.50 ERA, 1.35 WHIP in 5 games (4 starts) against the Yanks. He is 3-1, 3.33 ERA, 1.20 WHIP over his last 7 starts.
Mike Mussina is a lifetime 10-7, 4.56 ERA, 1.30 WHIP in 24 starts against his former team. He is 12-3, 2.76 ERA, 1.18 WHIP over his last 17 starts. Outstanding.

BREAKING NEWS:
Jorge Posada will have season-ending surgery on his ailing shoulder now that the Yanks have acquired Xavier Nady.
This absolutely makes sense and was the only logical thing to do. This season is essentially a lost one for Posada already and it doesn't make any sense at all to risk his health for 2009 as well.
