The judge said the theft scheme showed sophistication and extensive planning.

Whoda predicted that of all the '86 Mets, Dykstra would do the most jail time?

This isn't as funny as the usual Dykstra update.

"I do have remorse for some of the things I've done," he said. "But because I wasn't a perfect person am I a criminal? Everyone wants to make me out to be a monster."

I have asked this before, but why is Lenny Dykstra never mentioned during steroid discussions.

I have asked this before, but why is Lenny Dykstra never mentioned during steroid discussions. I can't think of s more obvious user.

So I guess his Players Club magazine isn't happening now.

Trick out your cell!

"But because I wasn't a perfect person am I a criminal?"

Lenny Dykstra as a steroid user is a "water is wet," "sun rises in east" revelation. Everyone knows he did steroids.

"I do have remorse for some of the things I've done," he said. "But because I wasn't a perfect person am I a criminal? Everyone wants to make me out to be a monster."

Dykstra's magazine will have articles by past players as well as professional journalists (former Mets player Keith Hernandez will serve as food critic).

The magazine isn't just to show the players how to spend the massive amounts of money they earn but also how to keep their wealth and make smart decisions so they don't join the ranks of players who earn millions and wind up in financial trouble just a few years later. The case of Latrell Sprewell springs immediately to mind but there are many other instances of athletes who have earned enough money to be set for life but end up in financial trouble.

last time we had a dykstra thread, someone pointed out that the players club magazine still had a website. don't feel like checking, but i wonder ...

Doubledown Media, the once-rising publisher of magazines aimed at the Wall Street elite, has shut down.

“These are unprecedented times,” president Randall Lane wrote in an e-mail to staffers late Monday night. “The combination of the media depression, the Wall Street implosion and the credit slowdown were collectively too much for our company—probably any company in our shoes—to overcome.”

Doubledown media. How do like that for a prophetic corporate title?

California Penal League MVP, #######!

Out of curiosity, how do you drive off with three cars?

I hear that every day from the people I can't hire because of their criminal convictions.

I think people who have served time and return to free society only to find themselves frozen out of all unemployment opportunities deserve a lot of empathy

Dykstra said he didn't deserve to be put in jail on trumped-up charges and said he wasn't able to go to the funeral of his mother who died while he was incarcerated awaiting trial. He noted that he chose to go into a drug rehab center, volunteers his time with a college baseball team and has paid nearly $20 million in taxes.
