Ha ha, Lenny "Dick"stra.

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/10/lenny-dykstra-says-he-hired-a-private-investigator-to-blackmail-mlb-umpires

quote:

I said ‘I need these umpires,’ so what do I do? I just pulled a half-million bucks out and hired a private investigation team. Their blood is just as red as ours. Some of them like women, some of them like men, some of them gamble. Some of them do whatever … It wasn’t a coincidence do you think that I led the league in walks the next two years, was it? Fear does a lot to a man.

‘Hey, so did you cover last night?’ He called a strike. ‘Oh I don’t think you heard me. Did you cover the spread last night?'”

Let's all talk about how baseball used to be all about the wholesome values of the sport. Buy me some peanuts and an umpire! If he makes calls I don't like I'll blackmail his rear end, rear end, assholes on the diaaaaamond, if they don't win it's a shame! 'cause it's one, two, three hundred grand to win an ole ball game!

Who do you guys want to win the world series. I'm rooting for KC since the stupid rear end in a top hat mets beat the dodgers and also because if KC loses lowtax will probably be super pissed and go on a banning spree or something

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I blame Jackie Robinson.

I guess KC because it'll be more fun to say the Cubs got swept by the team that lost the world series.

I think blackmailing people for any reason is probably a crime.

Don't Forget My Balls
Over the summer Lenny and Doc Gooden were signing autographs in Syracuse for fathers day because his son plays for us. According to the cabbie that drove my friends and I to a game on July 4th Lenny had him take him to a brothel in a sometimes seedy town a couple miles from the stadium.

When they go to the house Nails felt uncomfortable based on the 2 dudes sitting on the porch and decided he wasn't going to wait for them to come back out to let him in and they took off.

So when are they automating calling of balls/strikes? After watching many games last year with the box on the screen - the umpire basically flips a coin if the ball is in or out of the zone by a couple of inches.

Clearly not that much though if a player can casually go 'haha yeah I bribed/extorted/blackmailed a bunch of umpires and that's why my numbers were so good.' Meanwhile Tom Brady maybe deflated a football a little too much and it's a national scandal for a year.

Jerry Rice is admitting he used stickum all the time. As long as you don't get caught just let it cool for 15-20 years then try to get some media cash when you're broke.

There was also that time in 1991 when Dykstra was driving Darren Daulton home from John Kruk's bachelor party and crashed his Mercedes into a tree, severely injuring them both. What a character.
