Lenny Dykstra's descent

Ron Darling quoted in piece that Harvey Araton, NYT wrote:Once-Celebrated Recklessness Leads to Dykstra’s Financial Fall

“He was unlike anyone I’d ever met. We used to think of Southern California guys as kind of soft surfer types. Lenny was the opposite, the original skateboard dude, the guy who broke into your house and took a swim in your pool.”
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

What he meant to say:


“He was unlike anyone I’d ever met. We used to think of Southern California guys as kind of soft surfer types. Lenny was the opposite, the original skateboard dude, the guy who broke into your house and took a crap in your pool.”

They should change it to... 'For $20, you can buy The Dude a couple of tacos, a Coke, and a Playboy'
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

I'm usually not the type to say that everyone's answer is "he's got to turn to Christ" when they have some kind of massive fall that humiliates them publicly, but man, Lenny is just in a bad, bad place.

He's like the big league version of the character in "Glory Days"- and his way of "recapturing the glory" is getting more bizarre/dangerous as time goes on.

Until he realizes that he's just another guy in a vast world, and stops thinking he's better than everyone because he played ball, he is done. His narcissism is killing him.

After all the roids, it probably took six just to find it.

pretty sure that would have happened a while ago if it ever would have. Him being in jail the next several years won't help matters.

Some people can't handle the ascent of fame/fortune, some people can't handle the descent. With the latter, it's sometimes a loss of identity thing.

Maybe the steroids and pills gave him a brain tumor in his frontal lobe that is increasingly hurting his ability to make sound judgements about consequences.

Because this strange behavior is such a recent development?
