Lenny Dykstra, Head Case

Because when it comes to Lenny Dykstra, there’s really no such thing as piling on.

Is anyone else really, really enjoying the schadenfreude of Lenny Dykstra?

edit: I feel bad for the woman for getting ####### creeped on, but Dykstra in more trouble pleases me.

It would be even better if he could somehow drag Steve Garvey down with him.

I think I said that he had hit Rock Bottom about 3 "bottoms" ago. He should now be nearing the Earth's core and will likely pop out in China by this time next year.

It's impossible to feel sorry for him, too. If he were to off himself I think I'd just shrug my shoulders. That's pretty bad isn't it?

I feel sorry for him. Not so much because of his misfortunes, which he has largely brought upon himself, but because it must be really awful to go through life as Lenny Dkystra.

A few people here said Dykstra would eventually wind up doing time. Think that's almost definite now, even if it is not based on this accusation.

He's like Pete Rose without the magnificent baseball career.

Nah. Even back when the articles about him weren't hit pieces detailing his descent into bankruptcy and criminal #############, he still came off as a complete sociopath.

Rose's life has been a model of stable tranquility compared to LD's.

Yes. Hence my intro comment.

It's more than pretty bad--it's awful. Just think of all the pleasure and entertainment millions would be deprived of if Dykstra weren't around to continue to #### up his life in novel and comical fashion. Where's your compassion for those people, man?
