Astros 7, Phillies 0Astros' manager Cecil Cooper had to be happy with what he saw tonight, as the Astros embarrassed the Phils, 7-0. Phillies' manager Charlie Manuel can't be thrilled with the way his team's offense seems to have completely disappeared. Sure they took two out of three from the Giants, but they did it scoring only three runs.
Cliff Lee got knocked around in his three innings of work, allowing six runs on nine hits. (You read that right - Cliff Lee lasted only three innings tonight.) The Astros' scoring started on a 2-run double by pitcher Wandy Rodriguez. The other five runs scored by the Astros didn't matter much, as both the Phils and Chachi scored the same amount of runs tonight.
Transactions: Brett Myers was activated from the 60-day DL today, and he'll most likely pitch in a set-up capacity out of the bullpen. In a flurry of roster finagling, Steven Register was designated for assignment. Steven had appeared in one game with the Phils in July.

I love the cards driving by in the background on Schmidt's photo.
Cars. Not cards.
Didn't someone pitch a 1-hitter in the American League?
We should have gotten Halladay!
Just kidding - Cliff will turn it around his next time out against the Nationals.
