May 24 -- LINEUP NOTES & EATON

HOUSTON -- After walking into the clubhouse here this afternoon, T.J. Bohn was greeted by cries of "Thor!" Bohn is from Minnesota, and some folks think he bears some resemblance to the god of thunder. Anyway, don't expect Thor -- I mean, Bohn -- to play much while Jayson Werth is out. He spent two weeks with the Phillies last month and was used primarily as a pinch-hitter and late-game defensive replacement.

Before batting practice, Charlie Manuel said he would consider using So Taguchi and/or Eric Bruntlett in right field against left-handed pitching. There's some chance Geoff Jenkins also could start playing everyday, although he's only 2-for-15 with four strikeouts against lefties this season. For his career, Jenkins is a .242 hitter against lefties. But Manuel won't have to make that decision until Monday night, when LHP Jorge De La Rosa is slated to start for the Rockies at the Bank. The Phils are scheduled to face right-handers Ubaldo Jimenez (can't wait to see him pitch again) and Greg Reynolds on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Here's your lineup for tonight's game against Astros RHP Brian Moehler (1-1, 4.76 ERA): SS Jimmy Rollins (.333/3/15), CF Shane Victorino (.268/2/9), 2B Chase Utley (.307/14/33), 1B Ryan Howard (.202/13/31), LF Pat Burrell (.281/12/34), RF Geoff Jenkins (.277/2/8), 3B Pedro Feliz (.253/7/21), C Chris Coste (.333/3/9), RHP Brett Myers (2-5, 5.76).

Obviously, how Myers pitches tonight is the No. 1 storyline. He was OK in his last start, Monday night against the Nationals, and Manuel thought he pitched better than his final line.

Manuel thought Eaton pitched better last night than in any of his previous 39 starts for the Phillies. Still, he didn't win. In case you're wondering, the Elias Sports Bureau via the Phils PR department says that Ken Reynolds holds the Phillies' record for most starts to begin a season without a victory. He went 16 straight from May 29 through Aug. 25, 1972.

What did y'all (when in Texas ...) think of Eaton last night?
