From the Ewww! files
* The New York Daily News is reporting that workers at an Arizona cryonics lab abused and mistreated Red Sox Hall of Famer Ted Williams’ frozen severed head by playing baseball with it. OMFG. Oh-Em-Eff-G! Who works at that horror show of a lab? Serial killers? Excuse me while I go vomit chunks. [AP/Boston.com: Report: Book says Ted Williams' head mistreated]

Brad Penny, still dead to me
* Last Wednesday, Brad Penny pitched his first complete game in 4 years. Despite the effort, the Giants were officially eliminated from the playoffs. Penny is a free agent next season and has not ruled out a return to the Giants. Either way, he is expected to stay in the National League. Surprise, surprise. [AP: Penny tosses gem, but Giants out of playoff hunt]

John Smoltz sucks weenies (still)
* In other “I was a big fat failure with the Red Sox” news, John Smoltz recently blamed his suck performance on his balls not being rubbed up enough. Then his Skipper accused the opposing pitcher of using pine tar to be able to keep a good grasp on his balls. Wow, that takes… um.. brass ones. [MLB.com: Arroyo denies pine tar accusation]
