the dodgers were seriously shopping this guy over the winter after signing wolf and schmidt; guess they're glad they couldn't find a taker. penny ranks 2d in the league in wins (after leading in that category last year) and 3d in era; he's allowed only 4 home runs in 149 innings. but he has been mortal since july 1 --- a 4.71 era in 6 starts, with more than 4 walks per 9 ip.
the cardinals have allowed the 2d-most runs in the nl since august 1st (5.7 per game), while the dodgers have scored the fewest (2.5/game). bad pitching beats bad hitting, doesn't it?
