HOUSTON -- The trio of Andy Pettitte, Roy Oswalt and Roger Clemens have rendered even the hottest offensive teams powerless, and the Phillies were no exception.
Philadelphia managed four runs in a three-game series against the Astros, providing the simple explanation as to why it's leaving town on a three-game losing streak.

P.S. With FATHER using the NL East as our own personal punching bag (3-1 v. the Nationals and a sweep of the syPhillies), the Wildcard Standings now look like this:

P.P.S. I'll be at the game tonight with Neo Reloaded and Top Shelf if any of you clowns want to be verbally abused.

went last night....roger was off, but even when he is off he is so good.

Funny enough...

I am an Astro's fan and from Houston. So, I root for all the Houston teams even though I live in Dallas. I am pretty excited that the 'Stros have turned things around this season. But, your email is really disturbing.

What is your obsession w/ "Daddy" and "Father"?

Its weird.

Granted BI you are a little strange, but.........Get in there Astros!!!!

I'm surprised that it took him until 5:00am to post something.

good catch coppell.

I have to admit. the Stros are surprising the heck out of me. If they only won a few games in the St. Larry's series.

He emailed a rookie sip about the Astros?
Wow - this has gotten out of hand.

Sweeping the Phillies was big, because we're in trouble for the next two nights. Bakke is out, so we have Astacio going against Pedro tonight and Wandy tomorrow. We have to hope for a split against the Mets.

I think one of the key for the 'Stros is to not tighten up. Ensberg hasn't looked loose the last two nights.

Ensberg did make a helluva play in the field though

Looks like we're only 2 more games out of the WC race than the Stros.

Congrats on the incredible turnaround Spewston, your team has earned it!

tsa - He definitely did that, as did Everett did on the play before Ensberg's.

Clemens is a hoss, ain't he? His splitter sucked, his back was killin' him, and he goes 7 and holds them to 2 runs with a slider and a diminished fastball. That was impressive.
