Aug. 10--Brett Myers spun off the mound with a celebratory fist pump Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park.

He felt no such joy last night.

"From the penthouse to the outhouse," he said.

He struck out the side in Wednesday's victory over the Florida Marlins, but allowed two runs last night in a sloppy ninth inning in a 4-2 loss that prevented the Phillies from moving within three games of the New York Mets in the National League East and into a first-place tie with the San Diego Padres in the NL wild-card race.

"We had a rough ninth," manager Charlie Manuel said.

How rough?
