Brad Penny headed to Giants

Former Dodger pitcher and All-Star whiner Brad Penny is going to sign with the San Francisco Giants, according to ESPN.com.

Penny, who often complained when he was removed from games at what he considered too early a time (and which to sane people was really a couple of batters late) is the perfect addition to a team Dodgers fans are already pre-disposed to hate.

Penny was 7-8 with a 5.61 ERA with the Boston Red Sox this season. The Red Sox put him on waivers last week.

Note to Tim Lincecum: Watch everything that Penny does and copy it. That will only help the Dodgers’ chances to win the division.
