Deadspin had a link yesterday 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.  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
A couple of jesters? In the court of the king! IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME?!?!?!?

New Dykstra news: 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...

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.

I just wiped my ass then smelled the toilet paper.  What's wrong with me?

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.
