Yankees lineup vs. Angels, other pre-game observations

Here's the lineup and some other pre-game observations/notes in Anaheim.

*Andy Pettitte is very frustrated with his second half, but hopes to have a good game tomorrow. Still sounds like he's leaning towards pitching next year, but nothing definite.
*Mike Mussina will still get four more starts this season, but will not pitch again until Saturday. He could use the extra day's rest, with the bruise on his sternum from Friday. So the weekend series will be Sidney Ponson, Mussina and Carl Pavano.
*Ivan Rodriguez has some "whiplash" from last night's incident, and Chad Moeller is catching. But Rodriguez said he is available if needed.
*Pitching coach Dave Eiland is feeling better and will coach.
*A group of six players went to see Jay Leno's car collection today. He has 120 classic cars and 90 motorcycles. Mussina, Chris Britton, Johnny Damon, Dan Giese, Xavier Nady and Darrell Rasner went.
*Dustin Moseley will start tomorrow for Anaheim.
