[The Astros have been shut out 17 times. Nine of those came when Clemens pitched.] I'm perplexed by it, ... In several of those games we could have played 30 innings and not scored a run. ... We're an unusual team. It's strange.

We're going to leave that to our general manager. Sure, I'd like to have Clemens back.

It's worked before between Pedro [Martinez] and Schilling, and I pitched behind Roger [Clemens] when Roger was here. I like the philosophy.

I moved him for Morgan. When he came back from the hand injury, I wanted him in a position where guys are going to have to pitch to him and he's going to get pitches. I switched him back because I didn't think he was swinging the bat that good. I prefer to have Lance in that third hole and as it turned out today, Morgan came through big.

We had some other opportunities and couldn't break through. When your big guys go to the mound, you've got to win them. We just didn't put enough runs on the board.

We didn't have much leeway to run, ... When they're 1.2 (seconds) to the plate and with Molina, that's difficult to run. You have to pick a pitch to do it on, and he didn't throw many curveballs.
