This Penny is bringing all bad luck
![]() Dodgers: SAN DIEGO -- Jim Tracy had watched his would-be staff ace grab
his right arm and walk off again, into the dugout, up the clubhouse
tunnel and probably straight into the offseason. He had watched his
offense put on yet another remarkable display of collective
ineptitude.
Finally, in the moments that followed the Dodgers' latest
humiliation -- a 4-0 loss to the San Diego Padres in front of 41,303
on Wednesday night at Petco Park -- their manager decided something
had to be done. So, with the long-awaited return of Brad Penny
having been a disaster, and with a division title that once seemed
so certain now hanging in the balance, Tracy called a meeting. Photo Gallery: Dodgers ...[MORE]

uncertain, struggling to know what is right.

story. ...[MORE]
Angels stagger to finish
Angels: ANAHEIM -- The Angels will stagger, not swagger, into their
biggest series of the year, still alive in the pennant race in spite
of themselves, still knowing that a sweep of the Oakland Athletics
this weekend will vault them into at least a tie for first place
with seven games remaining.
But hope is all the Angels have left because right now, nothing is
working, not even their hottest pitcher of late against the
second-worst team in the American League. Photo Gallery: Angels ...[MORE]

"Complete Savages"
Logline: Keith Carradine stars as the patriarch of the
Savages, an all-male, no-hygiene home. His sons are the usual assortment
of ne'er-do-wells - dumb jock (Erik von Detten), self-absorbed musician
(Shaun Sipos), extreme-sports enthusiast (Evan Ellingson), wormy bully
magnet (Jason Dolley) and, of course, the nominally normal if love-struck decent kid (Andrew Eiden).
Pros: Carradine's amiable presence sets the tone. Writers
Julie Thacker-Scully and Mike Scully (both late of "The Simpsons" and,
uh, the honestly titled "The Pitts") create a cartoonish slobbishness
that can be amusing - imagine a live-action Homer and Bart ...[MORE]
