The NY Post reports that former Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra's wife has filed for divorce—which means it's also an opportunity to feature that photograph of Dykstra chomping on Twizzlers from last fall! Dykstra had parlayed his baseball earnings into a variety of investments, including a line of car washes, but recently creditors went after his $18 million (!!) California estate and his Gulfstream III jet (!!). And it was only last fall when Dykstra referred to $140,000 as his "f---ing ashtray money." In the divorce papers, Terri Dykstra claims "irreconcilable differences" for ending their 23-year marriage and a former family employee told the Post, "Divorce? I'm not surprised. Finance was part of it. They've had a sham marriage for several years, and he told me that they hadn't slept in the same bed for three to four years." The couple has two children, 13 and 18.

The 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!
