Lenny Dykstra Settles Accounting Lawsuit

2008_11_dykstra.jpgThe tabloids caught up with former three-time All-Star Lenny Dykstra yesterday after he settled a lawsuit from an accounting firm which claimed Dykstra didn't pay almost $140,000 in accounting fees. Dykstra said the firm "folded like Mitch Williams in the ninth" and added, "There was no case. There was nothing"--all while chomping on Twizzlers. When a reporter brought up allegations that Dykstra bounced a $7,000 check for a private plane flight, the Post reports Dykstra, who put some of the $27 million he got from the Phillies into car washes, said, "That's my f---in' ashtray money, bro. I don't even know if I flew on their plane." then proceeded to show the Post reporter the label of his pinstripe suit, "See that purple label, bro? That's seven large." Keep it classy, Nails!

"seven large" isn't that like gambling speak?

7 large for a suit and he looks like he is about 80 years old in that photo...

whoa, bro

nice twizzler, bro.


what is odd: Twizzlers and $7,000 suits. Incongruous.

$7,000? Cuz that's how we roll.

I respect people who know how to make money honestly. I have zero respect for the ones that feel the need to flaunt their money. It's a sign of immaturity and insecurity.

"Yeah, like the guy in the $1,200 pants is gonna designate a driver or call a cab! COME ON!"

Dykstra then pointed to his watch, telling everyone its worth more than they make in a year, then informed them that: "coffee is for closers."

Hey, Len: lighten up -- Julia Roberts made almost your whole fortune in one paycheck doing a chick flick in the 90s.

does he compulsively chew twizzlers instead of tobacco now?

Just another reason why congestion pricing is a good idea and we should all ride bicycles - especially fixed gear bicycles. Mmmm, Twizzlers.

In your face gas guzzling SUVs!

"7,000? That's how much my dry cleaning bill is each week to get the stuck Twizzlers off my suit"

Dykstra's purpose in life is obviously to prove that money doesn't buy class.

Lenny may have met one too many center field walls.

this shit is too funny. if it weren't for the twizzlers I would hate this dude but because of the thing that ain't even real licorice, it's kind of endearing.

Does he even pay for his Twizzlers?

From baseball to car washes, 'roids to Twizzlers - Lenny's keepin' it classy....

I worked for this low life and he owes more over "9 Large". Hey Lenny, how about honoring the contract YOU drafted and we both signed. LENNY DYKSTRA IS NOTHING BUT A DEADBEAT GRIFTER!
