Penny's and Heartbreak--Peter

Two post a day, Jenn. How often do you see that? Tonight's covers the game--heartbreak; and a "Penny" novel--Brad. In the former, something's definitely going on, and not in a good way, with JB. He starts off getting lit up so that by the 3d inning we're in a 5-1 hole, in large part to the pair of HR's he gave up. He's doing this in spite of throwing in excess of 95 mph steadily, and racking up the K's (nine tonight in just six innings). But, even though we were facing the Rays' Sox killer, Garza, we managed to come back until we were tied at five in the 8th. Then, heartbreak. Bottom of the 8th, Rays score a trey and it's done. Texas and the Stripes both won, so we gave ground on both ends of the axis.
On the "Penny" novel, it reads (at least for now) like Smoltz, Part 2. Penny gets picked up by the Giants, starts tonight, and goes eight shutout innings, getting the win for the guys from SF. There are three pennies in the story: Bad Penny, Good Penny and Brad Penny--and they're all the same.
