Looks like someone may be getting out a bit early.

this is one train wreck I can't turn away from.

Interesting note from the article, turns out Dykstra led the 1986 Mets to the championship. He may have led the charge towards the hookers and blow dealers, but with the '86 team, even that is doubtful.

Only thing he led on that team was running around, telling people his high-school nickname. (Props, though. It stuck.)

ETA: oh, his future will involve more prison time, betcha by golly wow. Probably including crimes he has yet to commit.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

This reminds me of the the local sports radio station guy hanging out with him. So Lenny was on the station promoting something and one of the hosts said he was going to be in California and they should hang out.....and so he got to California and they did.

Thank God for Kawhi, because if not the athlete that's most associated with my name would be Nails.

Did he find the dentures? I need to know! And if he did, did they go straight back into his mouth without cleaning?

Sounds like he found them (no thanks to Sprinkles, who apparently is just a very nice Uber driver and not a long-time friend of Dykstra):
Grbac wasn’t actually there in the morning when Dykstra found his dentures (he had to go home to be with his kids). But he told us “I can tell you he didn’t have his teeth when I picked him up, and now he has them.” And the tweet he sent from his Sprinkles the Clown handle, asking if anyone else wanted to help Dykstra, was seen (and puzzled over) 'round the world.
