From Big League Stew, an update on former Dodger Brad Penny, who decided to get in a spat with his catcher during the middle of an at-bat at Comerica Park:
The Angels roughed up Penny for seven runs over 3 2/3 innings, his worst statistical outing with Detroit, in a 12-7 victory for Los Angeles. Perhaps the ugliest detail: home fans booing their own team in the fourth inning when Penny and Martinez shouted at each other with the Tigers on defense.
Though the teammates exchanged only words, along with some hostile body language, the argument went on long enough that pitching coach Jeff Jones emerged from the dugout to calm everyone down. He even had to lightly restrain Penny from getting in Martinez's face.In the heat of a particularly frustrating afternoon for the Detroit Tigers on Thursday, right-hander Brad Penny(notes) and catcher Victor Martinez(notes) squabbled with each other in plain sight in front of more than 30,000 fans at Comerica Park.
Poor Brad Penny. So misunderstood.

To be fair, Martinez did take the last of the cheese off the pregame buffet. Brad can't just let that shit slide, he has an image to uphold.
That wasn't cheese. That was butter.
Brad only uses butter during his "alone time."
alyssa milano would beg to differ
(she's a great cook, of course)
Does Cheese in a can count as "cheese" or "butter?"
@Neeebs: chutter
If he dated Alyssa, that means we all had a chance. I am pretty sure a cool million would also help.
