A shiny new Penny

San Francisco Giants: 4
Philadelphia Phillies: 0
We picked up pitcher Brad Penny off waivers earlier this week (for the non-baseball fiends out there, that means his last team basically said "anyone want him? We don't need him.") Penny had struggled with the Red Sox, piling up an ERA over 8.00. So getting rid of him made sense, right?
Tonight, in his first start in Giants road gray, he pitched 8 innings. His line? 5 hits, 1 walk, 2 K's and no runs. Welcome back to the National League, Mr. Penny!
GO GIANTS!
WE'RE IN THIS THING!!

I guess that Boston's pitching coach isn't doing much to earn his pay....
