Deadspin had a link yesterday (http://deadspin.com/5086196/lenny-dykstra-for-secretary-of-the-treasury) to an article about the incredible investing success of Lenny Dykstra that I was going to post here... but when I subsequently checked Deadspin just now to look for the link, there was a new story about Dykstra (http://deadspin.com/5086792/lenny-dykstras-financial-acumen-called-into-question-again). It turns out that his "83-0" success record and $200k in profits (which were trumpeted in the first article) are pretty much entirely the product of shady accounting - he keeps buying and reinvesting his losers rather than actually taking the losses, so they never show up on his imaginary balance sheet.
crooked accounting or not...I miss the mullet
New Dykstra news (http://deadspin.com/5490538/dykstra-strikes-out-with-the-help-gets-sued): He's being sued by a former assistant for sexual harassment for requesting that she give him a blow job, then fondling her breasts before she ran away.
I have no word whether his Fantasy RBI owners are pursuing any disciplinary action.
Given this crowd, he may get more playing time...
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-dykstra-bankruptcyembezzlement
Lenny tried to secretly sell off some stuff after starting bankruptcy proceedings
Fuck him. He was easily my favorite player on the Phils back then, now after knowing what a pile of shit he is, I enjoy seeing him crash and burn
such an awesome ballplayer, and such a horrible person
What pissed me off most was what a horrible teammate he was. Apparently he polarized himself from the rest of the team and he nearly killed Darren Daulton.
That team turned out to bee pretty odd. Schilling remained a great pitcher but was a huge phony and douchebag, Dykstra is a cocksucker, Kruk turned into an ESPN retard and Darren Daulton turned into an alien seeing crazy person.
I give Mitch Williams credit, he never hid from the HR he gave up and does fine on MLB network.

Red light Curt. SUCH A FUCKING PHONY.

Agreed. Solid dude. Never once shied away and really does a great job without a great deal of schtick on mlb, unlike that fucking turd Millar.

More on this please.
I always thought he was the normal person who kept the team together.
Apparenly Charlie Sheen paid Lenny's bail or something like that. Then he said something crazy.

Dutch went bat-shit crazy a few years ago. Not sure what he's up to now.

Sounds just like Darky. Like exactly...
darren daulton + The Situation (jersey shore) = darkside
Dykstra has a camp?
There are other Situations?
Who's gay?
Ifusaywhatyerghey
This guy is joking right?
Drugs and Grand Theft Auto. I don't think anyone ever confused him with a smart person, but he's really fucking stupid.
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-lennydykstra
"Of course I'm not guilty," Dykstra told the Daily News of New York on Monday. "The car got stolen alright—stolen by them. I don't have it anymore. It's gone like my computer, my phone, my clothes."
He's the best... How exactly does 3 cars equal 25 counts of grand theft? And who the FUCK would let Lenny Dykstra lease high end cars? Don't they know how to run a credit report or use the internet?
It's amazing how many complete fuckups there are from a video game of 160 players, and for Dykstra to be the biggest fuckup of them all really says something.
I'd like to see a battle royale of fuckups with Strawberry, Mitchell, Dykstra and Gooden.
Good god, the Mets
Don't forget Wally Backman, Ray Knight, Roger McDowell and Keith Hernandez while he was on the coke. Impressive...
Important link: Help bail Lenny out of jail! (http://savelenny.com/)
I'll chip in $10 if he throws in an upgrade to the Deluxe car wash.
Lennys on twitter now. Introduced by Charlie sheen of course
i wonder what's up for the 500k collateral.
sounds like another one of his scams.

You have got to be fucking kidding me...
Lenny is doing his best to take over the crown of most fucked up RBIer. Remember when he was just a kind fellow? To me he was always a hard working, tobacco chewing investment mogul...
Dykstra is accused of finding victims by placing online ads seeking personal assistants or housekeepers. He allegedly exposed himself to women who responded to the ads on several occasions between 2009 and 2011.

and he pleaded no contest, 9 months in jail
Oh Lenny....
I'm starting to think he might have some issues
Maybe Lenny will get "born again" while in the clink.
There's still hope he fairs well in his Federal Bankrupt charges.
i haven't seen his mom back in the store since she returned her shoes...
He likely killed her.
Lenny Dykstra almost got into a fight with Mitch Williams (http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/11/lenny-dykstra-fought-ex-phillies-teammate-mitch-williams-at-a-mall/) at an autograph session at a mall in Philly.

Watch the Daily Show video linked there if you never watched.
Go Lenny Go!
UPDATE: They still hate each other.

They both seem like genuine assholes.

I've never been into roasts...people make a big deal out of them and they hold absolutely no appeal to me.
That was a poor excuse for a roast.
It seemed less like a roast and more like a poorly done wrestling promo. Can I safely assume both were drunk? I think Williams goes without saying
I totally believe Dykstra that Williams used to get pissed when the Phillies would get an extra insurance run in the late innings to take away his save opportunity.
I really don't believe anything Dykstra says. He's a piece of shit fraud

True Dykstra is a piece of shit, but I bet most closers get a little upset when the lead goes from 3 to 4 in the 8th inning to blow their save chance.
Good(?) news, everyone: Lenny Dykstra has been cleared of charges that he threatened to kill an Uber driver (https://www.nj.com/union/2019/03/lenny-dykstra-cleared-of-charge-he-threatened-to-kill-nj-uber-driver-admits-to-minor-offense.html)!
FUCK YEAH
lenny sumatra hasn't been sober in years.
like not even for five minutes
DYKSTRA UPDATE (https://www.foxnews.com/sports/ex-mlb-star-lenny-dykstra-wrestler-spent-9-hours-dumpster-diving-for-dentures): Lenny spent nine hours digging through a dumpster behind a Jersey Mike's with his friend Sprinkles the Clown trying to find a lost pair of $80,000 dentures made with real bone marrow.
I don't even know how to respond to that
now this story has teeth
:POW:
Nails gonna nails.

Sweet mercy....I thought that this synopsis was a ridiculous parody of whatever was in the article. Never doubt Beefy. Every single word of it was true. Every. Single. Word.
That must have been a HUGE dumpster. NINE HOURS
Did he find them?
Everything always come up roses for Lenny, doesn't it? Heartwarming
Dykstra had a tweet on 9/10 saying something like "Today is the last day that people born on that horrible day will be jailbait anywhere in the United States" with an accompanying state-by-state age of consent map. He has deleted the tweet and blamed a "college student intern".
Christ guy
College Intern?
Quote from: Shooty on 09/12/19, 08:47:56 AM
College Intern?
Not only that, but Dykstra referred to the intern as "she". NOT AT ALL CREEPY!
Hopefully she's at least 18.
This implies any of us can get an unpaid college intern to handle our social media accounts. Do I just call the local college and ask for one?
Say you're from Kramerica Industries.
MY FRIENDS, LENNY DYKSTRA IS NOW INTERACTING WITH THE JEOPARDY GOAT CONTESTANTS ON TWITTER
https://twitter.com/LennyDykstra/status/1217169325217517568
Ken Jennings is the best.
I also very highly recommend his podcast (https://www.omnibusproject.com/).
Aww man. I Thought Dykstra had a podcast.
BREAKING NEWS: Lenny Dykstra is enough of a publicly-recognized scumbag that he legally cannot sue for libel (https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2020/06/01/judge-len-dykstras-reputation-is-so-bad-its-legally-impossible-to-libel-him/) because at this point it is impossible to tarnish his reputation.
hahaha beat me to it
Wow, just wow. That must have been fun as hell for the court to write.
Even his mom told me "he was a bad boy".
He's the worst. He tried to create a spat with Dale Murphy on twitter in the last couple of days.
Dykstra is a perfect example of never meet your heroes. I never met him, but he was my favorite baseball player for a while. I had no idea he was such a piece of shit. I did know he almost killed Daulton while driving drunk and assumed he got big one year because of steroids, but I didn't care at the time. What a turd
Quote from: BDawk on 06/04/20, 02:21:38 PM

He frequently tries to defend himself by claiming all his black teammates loved him
Also blaming liberal judge on the current decision
Lenny is now claiming that Darling faked his cancer
https://nypost.com/2020/06/13/lenny-dykstra-blasts-ron-darling-after-losing-defamation-suit/
lenny dykstra, similar to jose canseco, is probably still batting around the same average in his post-baseball career, except .275 doesn't really cut it when dealing with allegations and conspiracy theories

. Who knows what funny business was going on!?Anyhow, I know this must be a difficult time, and just keep in mind that you have someone right here to talk to (or whatever other kind of needs you may have right now). DM me?
This appears to be Lenny Dykstra shooting his shot with hilarious congressional disgrace Lauren Boebert.
He totally wants to spit (tobacco juice) into her mouth
I mean, she's married. Obviously people cheat and whatnot but does he really think she's going to commit adultery by sliding into his DMs after he publicly asked her to? That's quite a high level of delusion.
He is the worst
Boebert is great.
