Brad Penny, who extended his winless streak to eight starts in the Dodgers' 12-7 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, will return to Los Angeles on Sunday to get his right shoulder examined. Penny will likely undergo an MRI exam on Monday. Penny complained of discomfort in his shoulder earlier this season, but said that he was able to make his last two starts free of pain. But he said he felt the pain return when warming up in the bullpen.

NL West teams all have had nightmare stretches (some worse than others) all year. Now it's the Dodgers' turn perhaps. Anyway NL West fans, let's sit back and enjoy a re-run of 2005, as we go down to the wire in the NL Worst! Go Padres.

Yesterday on four consecutive batters, he walked a guy, gave up a HR, walked a guy, and gave up another HR. Then he gave up two triples. This resulted into a 6 run inning for the Tigirls.

Doesn't this guy usually have a history of being a dominant pitcher before the All-Star break?

I think it's gonna be Arizona's year.

"I think it's gonna be Arizona's year."

thepatriotscheated, as a Padres fan I believed that all year. But recently, I'm not too sure - with Randy Johnson's clunker last night supporting the uncertainty.

Cannot win them all, right?

Penny is overweight, out of shape, not hitting his spots, and has been overrated and overhyped all along. anything else?

Thats an easy one, this Penny does not go as far as it used to....

That may be; but, you have to win one once in a while if you want to keep playing.

June 15, 2008  02:07 PM ET

Maybe Penny is spent...

Three out of five isn't bad. Just looking at him you can see he is overweight, out of shape and he definitely is not hitting his spots. However, he has NEVER been overrated or overhyped. When he's on he is one of the game's best. It's time for him to pull his fat heat out of his fat rear-end and play this game to win. As a life-long Dodger fan I am extremely frustrated with this year and, second to the Dodgers hiring Joe Torre as their manager, Penny playing like the only thing he cares about is picking up a paycheck, is the most frustrating thing of all. Dude!! Eat a salad! No dressing! Get serious about what you are being paid to do! C'mon, LA!! Let's go, Dodgers!!

I don't know but a "PENNY for your thoughts" !!!

June 16, 2008  01:42 AM ET

After you get his thoughts for a penny, just give him a quarter for his performance!

Maybe he needs to hook up with Alyssa again. U know she's good for hookng up Dodger pitchers.

Deep down inside I hoped this article was about Penny Hardaway. :(

He sucks and there is nothing wrong with that.
