Hochman: Dallas Green still tells it like it is

New Green book looks to be a diamond Dallas page turner.

It is a good, lively book and it mirrors Green’s good, lively 6 decades in the game. He rips only three people, Bobby Valentine, Art Mahaffey and Gene Mauch.

“Valentine is a phony and that’s what I call him in the book,” Green grumbles, choosing to skip details of the possible backstabbing while Dallas managed the Mets.

He reveals that in the minors Mahaffey cared only about his numbers. “He didn’t root for other guys to win, because ...

Didn't the Brewers deal Cutter Dykstra for Nyjer Morgan? "Ash tray money bro!", says Doug Melvin.

I often roll my eyes at the inane setup a lot of non-gonzo porn scenes have, because hey, you don't lure the women in with such lame pick-ups unless you're absurd good looking or wealthy. Lenny Dykstra, who is neither of those things, apparently doesn't share my sentiment.

If convicted, Dykstra—who’s already in custody in L.A. on a MYRIAD of federal and state charges for allegedly doing all sorts of other bad stuff—could face even more jail time.

I was impressed to see that she made proper use of the word 'myriad' in their report.

Actually I was more surprised to see that that actually is a correct way to use "myriad". I've been living a lie all these years. I wonder if there are any other ways in which "Heathers" has led me astray.

There is something wrong the a system that can be manipulated and used to let someone who is continuously doing harm to others be free to continue to do harm.

Is there ever such a thing as "decent exposure", or does that come under the same category as "timely death"?

I imagine taking your shirt off at the beach is decent exposure. Unless you're Rich Garces.

If the 1980s rumors about naked Dykstra were true, he qualifies as "more than decent exposure."

Dykstra doesn't seem to be one to brood over his failures. Not that they're his failures, everything is the fault of others.

And why would he think of suicide when a fortune from options trading/publishing/drug dealing is just months away? That will show them.

Yeah, guys like Dykstra don't commit suicide. He's going to die in a ditch because somebody put a couple of bullets into him.

Apparently Dykstra was proud enough of Li'l Lenny that he used to strut out of the shower buffing it with a separate towel. Enjoy your meals, everyone!

I'd bet he calls it "Mookie." Or maybe Lenny Dickstra.

Semi-serious question:

Has there ever been a baseball player as thoroughly sleazy as Dykstra? Not murderous, not racist, just down home sleazy.

The closest comparison that comes to mind is Denny McLain, but there must be others. Or maybe not.

Hal Chase was pretty sleazy. In addition to the throwing games thing, he had a reputation for sleeping with the wives/girlfriends of his teammates.

Not throwing games, but weren't the rumors about Rafael Palmeiro when he was with the Cubs that he did the same thing?
