Dodgers have call to make on Penny
Injured pitcher Brad Penny, a 16-game winner each of the last two seasons and the Dodgers' opening-day starter last spring, wasn't with the team Wednesday night as it was knocked out of the NLCS by Philadelphia. Los Angeles has a club option on the right-hander's contract next year. "I've spoken to Brad, told him I want to have lunch one of these days after everything settles down," manager Joe Torre said. "He was just torn with a lot of stuff, plus he never felt very good. I'm curious to have a conversation with him. I think it's going to be two ways." Torre did make it clear last month, before Penny went on the shelf for good, that he would be used in the bullpen during the postseason if he was healthy enough to pitch. "It just didn't look like he had the conviction (to relieve)," Torre said. When asked if Penny would return next year, Torre replied: "I haven't even thought about that."
